Do you really think that little of your player base?

Even if it was true that there was too much gear swapping, which is something I personally love about the game, having more slots does not disadvantage anyone. They don't have to use them, at all. They could keep their macros exactly as they are, and those that want to use them can expand.

No problem.

I absolutely agree with you, and that's why I said their reply makes no sense and that it doesn't fix/solve anything.
I was just saying that there actually *are* people who are against gearswap in general (I'm not one of them hey! I just said I think today there is way too much gearswaps than I'd like it to be), and wether or not they are bad players or good players (probably the first rather than the latter) they appearently are a considerable amount and of course developers need to take their opinion into some sort of consideration.

Still, is what they're doing the right solution? Of course not because adding more options wouldn't really change the choice of these people in any way, they would steel mantain their "right" to not use gearswaps or just us 6 lines, if they wanted to.
Unless they give us a technical or a gamedesign reply, the currently given reasons make absolutely no sense, there's little to discuss or disagree about that.

I agree with you in the sense that if you want to utilise all the gear swap gear you must use Spellcast. Snapshot gear for instance. It's poor design at the end of the day.
