ArenaNet:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Age of conan - Oblivion like combat

(Discussion)
I know how Age of Conan failed, and how it was the buggiest and the most incomplete MMORPG release in a while, but that doesn't hide the fact that they had a good idea and it did work out. But I think I would improve from what they did actually and make it more like maybe TES4:Oblivion, so the shield could actually be used for blocking. Skills could work like Oblivion's does because AoC's was pretty... Uh, non exciting and didn't take any skill to use/aim. Here I'll give a link to AoC's combat(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAzH5gmlJF4), and Oblivion's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z3ewNnuNfs)


 * Additional idea: I think doing these attacks with the mouse (drag n click style) can b real good (if click-2-move is disabled).


 * Why this is a good idea
 * Fun way of fighting battles (For me this never got boring for me)
 * Gives new/more advantages to sword/scythe combat.
 * Please add your reasons why it would work here. :)


 * Why it may not work out
 * Button mashing.
 * Spell mechanics are the same and take no skill to just spam.
 * Shield blocking might make it too easy to defend yourself, would need some kind of skill to temporarily disable protection or even knock down depending on how strong of a blow the enemy did.
 * Ranger's, Elementalists, Necromancers, Paragons, are more vulnerable then before(?)
 * Please add your reasons why it wouldn't work here. :)
 * Attack chains can be macroed
