Positionals aren't hard to execute. If you're melee DPS you park yourself on the back corner of your target where flank and rear meet, and move one step over when appropriate. AND we have two charges of True North (which I use out of laziness rather than necessity).

I don't get this at all.
As I previously mentioned, I'm also a disabled player with nerve damage issues in my right hand, and I also can ONLY play with a controller. Even then, I gravitate toward the high-APM jobs and love fighting games. I wouldn't ever ask for any game to dumb things down on my account.

I'll tell you exactly where the "simplification" arguments come from, and it's two places primarily:

1) The W-Cross Hotbar is NOT the default as it should be, and the game never tells you it exists. It's hidden in the settings. So, rather than controller and players having immediate access to a full 32 skills without needing to hotbar swap, they feel overwhelmed by the restrictions of the default 16 icons for their controller layout, and don't know there's a superior alternative. This is also something that encourages automation, to work around the inconvenience of not having full access to skills easily playing on controller.

2) Passive, effort-averse players who use people like us as a shield for wanting the game to be more of a cakewalk for them. "What if a player is disabled?" They try to pander to us while treating us like we're inferior so the game needs to be "brought down to our level,". I'm disabled and I can outperform these jokers even on a bad day. They need to stop using us as an excuse, it's insulting.
