I have been playing for 10 years some battles I dont need to see the animations for especially at the cost of a crucial 10 to 30 seconds of animation that literally cant figure itself out and takes that long to "think if you will" and not completely break itself. Especially with some of the new teams that take longer than the allowed time to complete the battle. Any kind of bind up with a team on defense means a loss of the whole round in GAC if you lose an important team. These issues are worse with datacrons. So if it could be an option to free up some of the crap they arent going to fix ever or I cant see a really bad lightsaber slash pretty sure I will take it with animations off.
