You have no proof that this is the case, but you are insisting Yoshida is considering it?

From a Korean LL about 5 months ago:

Skills automatically comboing (aka press 1 button to combo) is not going to be implemented in PvE. The reason we did this in PvP while reducing the amount of total skills is that we want players to focus more on team strategy and tactics. In PvE we feel that the effective use of branching combos is one sign of player skill. As part of our current concept regarding the battle system, we are purposefully leaving the PvP and PvE systems separate.

We understand that your hotbars are mostly full. In the future, we plan on removing those skills that are used the least, so that total the number of skills to use will not drastically go up.
