I don't see why they would mind this being in the game. It *does* provide a slight advantage but it's an advantage that any player could have with a little bit of work. I would think it would be a good thing to reward the ingenuitive.

If anything it would balance play between console and PC players. PC players can have huge hotbars and also get a mouse while console players are stuck with 16-skill hotbars and a keyboard. As far as I know we can't bind skills to keys either though somebody teach me how to do this if its possible! There simply isn't enough room on a 16-skill hotbar to have every useful skill of your class once you hit a certain level. Sure you can switch between hotbars but that is kind of annoying. It would be much easier to utilize macros and condense the set down to 16 slots.
