Yea, this was definitely quicker. Thumbs up!

Lol! Yea, they essentially took our everyday standing position and just
moved our legs, and since we were kind of hunched over while standing, now
we hunch over while running. I admit, I think a straighter back is more
appropriate when running. With our high speed, you'd think we'd be looking
further ahead then down at our feet. :-)
But I don't really see this as being all that big a deal. I'm very happy
with the way the bard currently is along with the quirks (air drumming). You
just get used to them.
Has anyone tried drumming while swimming? It always bugged me that I'd stand
up in the water while swimming. I noticed that when we sit, the animations
have been turned off, which is much nicer than standing to peform the
animation. Of course, this was a much better than when we used to stand for
the animation and remain standing despite the fact that you were still
"sitting" in the game and couldn't move until you stood.
