Newcomer here, just a bit of feedback for the devs! :D

10. There are a couple of unnecessary cases of ability-bloat (although not many!). Long-duration buffs, for example, I would personally change to be passive "Auras" for all friendly nearby players, removing the need for them to be placed as hotkeys. This also sort of leads into the next point...

11. When down-scaling our character's level, why not let us maintain the use of our abilities? As far as I can tell, their effectiveness is based almost entirely on your level and equipment, so I wouldn't be overly concerned about their being too overpowered. The reason I suggest this is because I find it sort of bothersome to have to go through a mental check-list when I sync and un-sync my level. It sort of breaks up the "flow" of getting used to playing a particular rotation. This one is less minor, but as a Pugilist, I constantly forget to reapply Fists of Earth when I un-sync, and I suspect that applies to other classes, as well.

5. Add a Grid-style UI manager. Instead of having to line things up manually, with overlapping or micro-managing every individual pixel, I'd love to have everything snap into a nice, clean grid.

Hold in on Shift while you're dragging things around. You still can't see what they're snapping to, but HUD elements will snap every so many pixels. No idea if there's an equivalent for dragging with the gamepad's mouse mode.

Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, there is an on-screen grid when you're in HUD layout, isn't there? Things might snap to that if they're at their default size. I know it's been off when I've moved things around, but everything I've used the snap on, I've resized.

To keep new players from being excluded/overwhelmed in leveling content. They'd either have to spend loads of time balancing every ability at every level, or end up with some things being completely over/under-powered, and a miserable experience for new players. Locking out skills keeps things balanced without a ton of work, which lets them spend that time balancing endgame etc.

Hmm, doesn't appear to work. Shame, since that would definitely be a Godsend right now, as I *hate* trying to manage the UI. I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive, so if the pixels are off even a little, it just drives me insane. Conversely, it would be nice to have a "Reset UI to Default" option, as well.

Strange, just tested it. You do have to "pick up" the windows and move them a bit first, then hold shift to get them to start snapping. The windows I've left at 100% size are snapping their left and top edges to the visible grid lines in /hudlayout.

No idea what would get it not working. I am in full screen windowed mode, though I wouldn't think that would change anything.
