There are so many OGCDs and other things going on between each cooldown, it's not much different from WoW.Â
The sync issues I can't really speak on, because I've never gotten them, even in 2.0 before they fixed the netcode.Â
In anycase the biggest thing I wish FFXIV would take from WoW is itemization. FFXIV has horribly shit itemization, it's so bad that it almost feels like they should make gear cosmetic only. The there is a complete lack of Procs, abilities, or interesting secondary stats. Yoshi-p please.
I was a hardcore raider in WoW. Â I raided in US Top 50 and 30 guilds. Â Even with their fast as hell GCD, I was always looking to get another spell out, as a healer. Â The slow GCD drives me absolutely bonkers.
And I've had sync issues from the beginning that I've never gotten in WoW. Â It got better when they fixed the netcode, but there are still issues.
Part of it is confirmation bias though, because if the GCD bothers people enough, they never get into raiding to start with.
