i don't think it will really be an issue on the delay at all, i believe they will be smart and make it hard for newer players to access quick weapons (1-3 sec rounds ) so that you just *grow* into your character.... i remember back in the day when i started EQ i had my hands full just figuring out which monster i could attack safely.... now i just run around clicking and looking, then press my handy '6' key ( bow ) and sling an arrow then run back when i find an appropriate target...
the idea will most likely to be to grow into your character so that by the time you are able to attain a fast weapon, you will be making decisions absent mindedly, and when an opportunity opens up you will just need to have the approrpiate reaction time to get in the specific offensive you need :P ..
im guessing, anyways.... because they have to target the general population, and the 'general' population won't be able to make split second decisions unless they grow into their char :shock:
just my opinion
