    I don't know about you but I think being more hindered by the UI than the actual challenges presented by the game is a pretty damn huge deal.

    It's like driving with your hands tied behind your back: Sure, it's possible by biting into the wheel but good luck going faster than walking speed and not ending up in a ditch.

    I'm still not sure why you are arguing with me, but if you wish to talk about UI hindrances, try this one out. By showing more and more actions, you start to reduce free space on screen that is currently used for seeing what exactly you're doing. To use your over-exaggerated analogy, having more clutter on screen is like trying to drive in a rain storm without your wipers. It doesn't matter if you're using your hands, feet, or teeth, you still can't see where you're going. Ultimately, the ability to see is more important to me, especially when I have no problems driving as it is.

    You must be running the game at 640x480 resolution if the action bar is actually preventing you from seeing what's going on.

    Also, it's impossible to see your cooldowns when they're on a hidden bar, so you do have problems driving as it is. No amount skill can compensate for information being hidden from you. To continue with the car analogies, it's like seeing your speedometer only when a specific gear is on, so if you want to see how fast you're going, you have to switch gears.
