Some players, like myself, use the Arrow hotbar switcher to reduce interface clutter caused by the extra hotbars on the screen, however the arrows do have a few flaws.
1) The Arrows can be missed when trying to switch hotbars because of several reasons. They are narrow and bright, oftentimes against bright backgrounds, causing it to blend in.
2) When using skills in rapid succession you can accidentally switch hotbars when quickly moving to the first or second skill on the Hotbar.
The solution i propose is to revert to the 1.0 Hotbar switching sound, and create a Hotbar design with a similar function to 1.0's; a dark gradient behind the first hotbar, with bright neon Arrow buttons that contrast against the dark gradient so that they stand out more.

Yeah i enabled my second hotbar because of that as well. Having buttons with louder, more noticable sounds, and buttons that stand out against the background would solve that problem and i'm not sure why they haven't done it yet, since it was designed that way in 1.0 for that reason. Sure, there was no ability to have 2 hotbars visible at once, but the option to only have one still exists, and there should be a solution to the problems with hotbar paging for the few people that do use it.
