If they could do it in a subtle way - the odd scuffed foot or shift to favouring one leg.. maybe it'd be nice. But I just can't shake the sense that the overblown, irritating type of idle movement is a hundred times more likely.
Idle animations in Tera drove me away. They are not so much idle animations as they are constant goofy sets of animations which I wish I could have shut off and the fact that they were running all the darn time. In effect, there was no idle. Drove me nuts.

How about throw in some interesting idle animation after standing idle for 10 minutes then another at some random time another 10 minutes+ later.
