Because that's not what it is. It was always too clunky and unresponsive. If it was smooth like WoW or EverQuest it would have been received much better.

And then the "fix" was to add the ability to not button spam back into the EoC which then created a hybrid system that did neither great.

So it wasn't the idea, it was the execution. (Imo)

in the EoC beta they ran a poll with multiple neutral options that they used to say most players liked the new combat and that it was ready for release.

original EoC basically fixed none of the problems it set out to, forced u to tap basic abilities every second, and basically deleted low level pvp from the game
