The problem with "Instant OFF GCD" abilities makes combat feel less rewarding.

So basically "The Devs know better than you do." How's that workin' out for 1.0?

...And what right is it of ours to demand that they change something in the game because we cant be asked to adjust to the level of strategy they had in mind for us using with this system. If they say its working as intended then it most likely is working as intended they tried hard to make a game that was awesome and they did and now people are giving them crap for the minor stuff that they cant adjust to because of the instant gratification mindset, these abilities are not in any way meant to be instant, instant cast does not mean instant animation, they are not reactionary skills. This game is more about planning than reaction.

What on earth are you talking about? Lets just accept every bad developer design decision for any game ever made because clearly the players just couldn't "adjust" to the developers vision. The clunky combat system is the worst part of the game and is the only thing keeping it from reaching greatness. Stop being a fanboy and realize that Yoshi and his crew did some really awesome things to turn the game around but they still missed the mark on some important things. Combat is not "minor stuff" and is probably one of the most important things to get right in an MMO. Most of the people complaining are MMO veterans and are familiar with every MMO combat system under the sun. There isn't some grand complexity that people are not understanding.
