Players should be fighting their opponents, not the initiative systemI can't believe so many folks seem to want to punish teamwork. Having to give up your action or possibly whole round so your caster can throw an area effect before tanks can close in followed by the rogue is poor game design in a game about working together.Ready is hardly the answer either as taking the Ready heavily punishes the taker by not only eating up the player's Action, it  requiring a specific trigger and takes up the player's Reaction as well. That can be worth it to interrupt a foes actual action, but is just overly punitive what they players are just trying to act like the team they are supposed to be.</blockquote>
