    He's not talking about either. He's talking about the action bar and how they said they wanted you to have the ability to have three separate bar lines visible on the screen rather than scrolling through them.

    Action Bar: where you place the actions you've learned from classes using action points.
    Macro Bar: Custom written commands you pull up using Ctrl or Alt.

    But he mentioned macros.

    Ooooooh! The thing with the arrows on the action bar that let you switch between 10 sets of skills you set in the bits in the skills and abilities window!

    I get it now.

    He was mentioning macros as a way of saying "I could use macros to lessen this problem but it'd be difficult with the way I play the game."

    Right right right...

    Err no haven't seen anything on the implimentation of a usable triple action bar UI.

    I have, but I'm about to go to bed, and I don't feel like digging for it.

    But somewhere, one of the community reps said this was going to happen, but not til after 1.20.

    Having all 3 Action bars on screen is something i've wanted since Beta. At present I have to flip the bars by clicking the 2 tiny arrows all the time which is a nightmare. Also makes it hard to see your recast timers.

    To Darkscorpion:

    I've been keeping track of this since the game lunched and here is all the information i've gathered so far:

    From Yoshida:

    "We are planning on addressing being able to view all 3 action bars at the same time separately."

    From Minagawa: (Lead UI Designer)

    "Currently looking into this to make the changes."
    Source: Rep Response Link Here

    From Gondai: (Battle team I think)

    "so we’ll be working on making it so that all three show up"
    Source: 4Gamer Interview Link Here

    So they are planning to add all 3 action bars on screen at same time in addition to remodeling the entire action bar itself. Drag and drop was also mentioned by a Com Rep here as "upcoming changes" We don't known when but i'm guessing maybe in a lettered patch at some point.
