@Kowaman I feel like you rather misrepresented the feedback given by the players (though I would not leap to saying there is an ulterior motive to this, that would be unfair).

If anything, the "I would perhaps enjoy 1.9.4..." camps should be taken as around 0.5~ a vote or less as the keyword is "perhaps", meaning unsure. Additionally, there were FOUR camps for post 1.8 and only one for pre 1.9 combat, which would hugely skew the balance in favour of the prior. If anything, I would view the results of this poll as hugely in favour of pre 1.9 combat due to the rather resounding 37.5% voting compared to 1.9.4's 31%.

If we could have pre 1.9.4 combat (no swing timers) but with different types of weapons then I believe we would strike a good balance. I feel like a lot of people likely didn't really know what constituted the option they were voting for.
