I'm glad that this is a change that people who use controllers will welcome. I don't use a controller so it means bupkiss to me. I'm not mad that they are implementing this change... I am confused as to why it deserves the big banner on lodestone.

Something like that suggests that SE is trying to give this announcement a sense of gravity that doesn't fit the actual change to gameplay. Which in turn, makes the announcement seem trite.

If people are having issues with this then it's great that they are fixing it... but honestly... I was hoping for better information than this... and with the weight SE has tried to give this announcement it makes me feel like this is our snippet for the week.

If they had posted the updates to the chat log post from friday with a banner I'm sure it would have exhibited much the same response, but they snuck it in under a banner about an update to the grand company page (which if you ask me was equally as trite.)

Mainly, this kind of information seems disingenuous. "We won't give you any useful information... but here's a pretty banner!"

Of course, that's speaking from the perspective of someone who gains nothing from this change. I can see how if you have actually had issues with the visibility of the action bar how this information is nice to have. Frankly, I didn't even realize people had this issue until this thread.
