Bolded what needs emphasis above. While keyboard/mouse players want this, it's very important for gamepad users. Since gamepads can be inherently slower to changing situations, gamepad players have to preempt a lot of actions. Flipping between 3 pages of icons to monitor cooldowns is a constant hassle I deal with, and my resolution is high enough to easily have all 3 visible at one time. Also as a gamepad user it's not uncommon for me to have my macro bar open and ready to go, so having it cover critical information is just retarded.
