In a MMO game where you play alone this summer...
Really, probably I have some issue trying to communicate but...

Anyway, I use 5 skills and some CD in WoW, I use 10 skills in LOTRO, I use 5-6 skills in DDO, I used 3-4 skills in Ragnarok online, I use 4-5 skills in ultima online, I use 8 skill in DC, I use 4-5 skills in Rift. Do I need to continue?

More skill spam doesn't mean more fun, or this game was successful. Moreover, as results from the combat poll, players suffer for skill spam.
The first step is autoattack. Do I like? not really, but the 1,1,1,1 spamfest is worse.
I take it as a little scar from a big plague.

We need to lower skillspam, be able to equip what we really need in a fight possibly in one bar (because two/three full bars of actions are difficult to manage for a gamepad), and give more uniqueness to classes.
This does not mean you can do it with a simple modify, SE has to think where skills are, how these work, how these can be connected and others.
