As for making us more reliant on GCDs, well that's a solution some people being up, so yeh I guess we could try it. It's not my preferred solution, but beggars cant be choosers.

If jobs can't exceed 32 buttons (for controller users I assume) why does my PLD have 33 binds, not including LB or Potion as I have those on a side bar with no keybind (to avoid fatfingering the keybind for them, holdover from my time as a tank main)? Why does SAM have 33 binds, thanks to the devs deciding Ogi HAD to be it's own button instead of replacing Ikishoten, and Shoha 2 REALLY needed to be seperate to Shoha 1? Heck, even my crafters have 34 total keybinds, and that's not including macros on sidebars. Pretty sure my Fisher has more than 32 binds too, but that one's the true endgame so I guess it has an excuse. Don't get me wrong, we have to keep the button count down for controller accessibility, but the idea that 'oops we can't add any more actions because the bars are full of super important tools already tee hee' is just wrong when we've got bloody Shield Bash still in the game, or the aforementioned SAM stuff that should have been combined. Similarly, the healers have crap that can be trait-upgraded to free up room very easily and it's a mystery to me why they didn't do it yet.
Bringing crafters and gatherers which don't need to be rolling GCDs into the mix is extremely bad faith, be better than that. Now, yes PLD could drop Shield Bash (probably will in a month) and SAM is now 32. Now instead of cleaning actually useful abilities (Protraction, really? Yes let's cleave what SCHs use practically every opener. Or the great mits that are Aquaveil amd Exaltation) let's hit other stuff that actually needs it such as: The basic single target/AOE GCD heals, (this cleaves Cure1, Medica1, Physick [which should just in general be deleted from the game so it stops being a SMN meme] Benefic, and Helios) Summon Eos/Selene, (combine them, it defaults to Eos/and if you do it again it defaults to Selene) Undraw. You know those kinds of things
