Woah, talk about a necro thread

I used to think that the GCD in this game was horrendously long, coming straight from WoW to play this game during Beta last summer. At the start of this year, I tried out WoW again for a little while and couldn't for the life of me get back into it not because it was too fast, but because it felt so spammy.

Like others have pointed out, some attack animations in this game are pretty long (especially DRG) and they'd probably clip with shorter CD's, just like the way they do now when you weave. Either that, or everyone would look like they were on crack lol.

There's also the matter of MNK's, whose GL3 significantly decreases the GCD timer. I'd say go play that if you prefer shorter GCD's (I've also found that playing MNK makes you better at other jobs. When I first turned 50 as DRG I was really overwhelmed for the first few hours due to my amount of skills, but now after getting good with MNK, I feel as if I have all the time in the world to decide upon action as any other job) definitely a fun job, but just an overall decrease on GCD would make this game more spammy than it already is.
