I don't like action combat, and it could very potentially stop me from playing

And as I've demonstrated through videos before, L2 was animation-based and not gcd-based, so you were also locked in the animation while attacking and people could "dodge" your attack mid cast. The "dodge" action was different to an action game's, but the concept was the same.

It's as if different games work differently

In your quote about wow it literally says "animation is not important", but that is not the case in L2 because the damage is dealt at the end of the skill animation. And as was already shown before, L2 had a snap range on skills, so you could in fact prevent someone from hitting you by just moving out of the way. Now, L2's movement wasn't as fast as most action mmos and it didn't have all the iframe jumping around so it was difficult (almost impossible in most cases) to avoid hits by just moving, but it was still ingrained into the client of the game.

And as I've stated before, my battlefield awareness had to be as high as in action games, because everything was moving fast and I had to react to those changes. I might not have been using the same "dodge left then dodge right" rotations in those reactions, but the reactions themselves were still present. But of course you'll dismiss this too because it's not literally the exact same button press as in action games, even if the player was still constantly monitoring their enemies and constantly reacting to their actions and had to move correctly on the battlefield - just as an action mmo player would have to do.

I'm curious, why do you often have this "H" at the start of your comments?
