    Wasn't XI only a menu-sided combat system?
    I guess that macros kind of solve everything anyway =D What me and danny meant was more like a hybrid, having a skillbar + a Menu. That I guess is a lil' time consuming and maybe less user friendly.
    Well, I'd say I like the one that we have now, and it only has to be bettered. Having more ways to engage battle is fine too though, but I would never change it.

    Ahh I see. Well if they can accomodate then go for it. I just see WoW or Aion or Rift or half the other MMOs out there when I see that stinkin UI bar lol. I honestly don't even pay attention to it half the time which is why I wouldn't care if it DID go away as I have macros set and just remember where all my stuff is. Who knows, maybe when I hit the upper levels like 30, I may change my thoughts.
