I know that. And I kept saying that people miss it by ignorance and what not.

However, even when I long since knew about the role skills and what not, I came across the pop-up appearing when I was leveling another class while for whatever reason I didn't pay enough attention to it. I don't know, I think it was in the middle of combat? Possibly. It was a skill whose icon I was not familiar with (some of the trash skills I never even use). Afterwards I was wondering where it was, since I wanted to check what exactly it did.
Since I knew about the role skills by then, it finally shone on me that it was that (well, I just opened the skill menu and looked at the tabs, so yeah...). But it shows that people can sometimes honestly miss such things.

Sure, that happening every time one of several skills is learned is a bit much...but hey.


What I'm saying here is that there is simply no reason not to do that. If players are too ignorant/lazy/otherwise restricted to learn how to use the tools they have?! Sure. The game shouldn't accommodate for that by becoming brain-dead one-button masher. But if it is at no cost to gameplay, giving unnecessary extra hoops is just irritating. Even as a more experiences player, it irks me that if I level a new class I'll have to go those extra steps to add and never remove some of those skills. Not because it's too much to do or it takes too much time. But...why?! Rampart will be on every tank, in every content, in every case 100% of the time. It's just stupid, excessive, pointless. If it had any sensible reason behind its existence...fine. But there is none. It just have negatives from players perspectives, and saves virtually nothing to the developers. Because no matter how terrible the code is, there is absolutely no way I would believe it's not just a matter of copy-paste or adding an extra flag, depending on how they decided to make it.
