    Gear, mechanics, abilities, you name it is been nerfed because of this witch hunt. The truth is people need to learn how to play this game like so many others were able to do, it’s not impossible.

    Possible=/=fun

    I'd rather have fun playing dps than trigger arthritis doing an exact rotation verbatim over and over like a robot *Light attack weave* skill *light attack weave* skill. thats 6+ button clicks within the span of a second and a half. [Snip].

    Well without a doubt the vast majority of experienced players would agree that is one of the major contributors to skill gap in pvp (there are lots of other factors, movement, engagement, defense play, food and potions, etc ..) and just pretty much the dominant factor in trials where you basically just burn or need to clear the 40K hurdle on a dummy to even get to do those raids.

    The debate is what a game should emphasize. Say for example, emphasizing repetitive finger twitching versus 3-4-5 skill combos offensive and/or defensive skill combos.

    But that is sort of hypothetical that in some regard is water under the bridge with regard to ESO.

    My main point is that IF ZOS de-emphasizes LA weaving as decent proportion of damage output in many situations high rate weaving will become optional. And when that happens, the small skill pool and slow GCD of 1-skill/sec will become really noticable as boring. 1-Skill per second is just too slow.

    Its 2 in 1 second. La + skill takes 1 second, lets not stretch the truth here to get our point across.
