    For a lot of people, I'm sure it isn't. As rolled up combos are nice for you, "nice optical things" are nice for other people.

    Also, stop acting like rolling Fan Dance III into Fan Dance I and II is a good idea. That's a proc for double weaving. and they have completely different attack types. Fan Dance II is centered around the Dancer, like your general AOE, Fan Dance I is single target ranged, and Fan Dance III is AOE radial around the target. Rolling them together creates issues with that, and also for people with high ping, you come into the Geirskogul/Nastrond thing where ping delay causes the action to roll back/not execute properly. For every skill consolidated like you suggest, this becomes an issue.

    Most people with disabilities have workarounds already, and many of them play with controller instead. Most jobs in this game were already far more button intensive in years prior, and the game has already been heavily praised for being accessible. If anything, mapping all your skills to the same buttons could also be said to cause repetitive strain, not just on people but on the hardware too.

    Again, what's nice for you personally isn't necessarily what is nice for everyone.

    "I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore
