    If people were using them but using them badly, they'd still be at least using them. You can sort of work with that, but lots of players seem to flat out not use them much.

    As far as I know there aren't a lot of resources for PVP itself either. A lot of it seems to be learn as you go, I wish we had something like the bot and tutorial modes League has to help newer players learn how to PVP before stepping into rated mode.

    In all fairness you can't set them to the bar from the PVP action menu in the PVP UI as far as I know. You have to use the PVP UI to give them traits then go to Actions & Traits > PVP Actions to actually set them. It would be less clunky if you could set them directly from the PVP UI.

    Yes there is this for traits, however do you think PvE players who are just looking at the UI for the first time would be aware of that? Or even know the name /trait they want ? They'd have to go to the UI to know what each trait does in the first place and the name of each skill.

    That command was made for people already knowledgeable and just quickly changing jobs in frontline. It won't be as helpful for a new person to PvP.

    What do you propose would make this easier than it already is?

    I mean the easiest way would be to allow you to set them to your bar directly from the PVP action/trait menu in the PVP UI. I would say add a Help window thing but I get the feeling a lot of people don't read those anyway.
