The game right now is very "raw" meaning once things smooth out from launch (about a month) they -should- start working on player feedback.

Vanilla WoW was pretty much the same way when it came out and personally was at it's best during Wrath of the Lich King however back then it was spam scorch till ignite and then start rolling with fireball + fireblast (if you played a fire mage).

Also a huge part of this game is cross-skill (which I thoroughly enjoy).

Once they get expansions and new content rolling I am sure things will change for the better; SE just needs to listen to community feedback and make decisions around that and you are pretty much golden.

Also let us not forget that there are PS3 players on this MMO unlike the others; events need to be tailored to our more casually paced brothers and sisters (potentially reasoning behind the GCD as they need to toggle hotbars and such).
