Make us use HOTBARS like on PC. This is the one and only reason im refusing to play on the PS3 (only gather fishing crafting on ps3, the rest on my PC).
A combination of crossbar anbd hotbar 1 is awesome, place all your not so often used skills/spells here. And press them when needed. One example have Protect on hotbar slot 1. You need to stand still to cast it, and it lasts long, hence no biggie taking your right arm of the controller and press button 1.
