why is this forced on us and not an option?

Stop using your main hotbar as a funsie fun time mount and minion bar.

I dont have minions on any of my hotbars. dont see a point.

And why is your non-combat stuff on the primary hotbar? You do realize you're actually setting yourself up for situations like this precisely because the game focuses on that bar, right?

I dont see hotbar 1 as my primary/main hotbar, I only had it in the position it was in because it has the hotbar lock on it. I was using hotbar 1 for my companion chocobo you know to summon, change stances, make him follow you or release him. that left 5 slots which I put mounts into, I have since changed which bar I'm using for that.

I have 2 primary hotbars aside from the pet hotbar and the cross hotbar. as for what I am using those bars for. whatever I want to use them for. just as you get to use as many or as few for whatever you want to use them for.


thank you for posting the community/dev response from the other thread I appreciate that.

Wait a second....I haven't been on my SMN or SCH since the patch. If I am understanding correctly, when I summon my lil ones, my Hotbar1 will be replaced with the pet hotbar? If so, DA FUQ?

I use that hotbar for, you know, skills and stuff. I have pet actions macro'd to different slots, because I micro them most of the time. If this is the case, that will not be good. I am going to have to check this out tonight for sure.

Please say it ain't so and it pertains to mounts only.....and if it is, DEVS --- MAKE IT OPTIONAL

it pertains to mounts/interactive things like cannons and what not. not the pets. it doesnt change your hotbar to the pet hotbar automatically for SMN or SCH
