But sure, I guess there is little point to explaining that to someone who refuses to let go of the past.

Call me White Knight all you want, it doesn't change the fact that you're closed minded. I personally can think of many other things that can be just as challenging as reacting. Endurance, being able to remain calm when shit hits the fan, being able to deal with an impossible looking situation and coming out on top. So you learn how to deal with it and then deal with it, and then you're able to keep dealing with it the more you do it, you get better at dealing with it. Does it make it less skillful? No, it means you're learning to adapt and get better. Does it get boring after awhile? Sure, but what doesn't? If all you want is constant twitch action then go play LoL or something else. I've had my fill, and would much rather have what FFXIV has right now. Battles that require thinking and planning ahead, formulating a strategy and then succeeding when you execute that strategy soundly. Not because you could press a button in 0.5 seconds.

*best Hydaelyn voice* Think....feel....Adapt....

you might actually find you enjoy it too.
