(I'd say some jobs are already on the line there if not crossing over to having bloat.)

Now, if you're arguing that the abilities they removed are more useful (compared to the abilities that they added), then that's a different argument.
Thats what im saying though....
There is no way at all, even on controller, that you're going to run out of buttons any time soon. Button bloat IS mythical, because it doesnt exist. All it would take is for people to re-organise their hotbars...and in the first month of an expansion people dont play all that amazing because they're still learning how their job plays in that expansion...so its not like an extra hotbar or an extra set of hotkeys, learning them, is going to make anyone any worse. Button bloat is a myth, and thats simply the truth of it. Look at other MMOs...look at how many skills they have, and you'll see what i mean. And again, on controller, there are several off by default options to extend its use for more buttons, all it would take is a week or twos adjustment period for people in new expansions, which they already go through anyway.

HW added new skills - People didnt complain about button bloat then, even though it was still an addition over what had been the norm in the game for a full 2 years. People adapt quickly.
