List's of your WS/JA/MA were brought up with shortcut commands and didn't take up much space at all. The controls and the UI were flawlessly integrated with each other. FFXIV's UI has so much shit all over the place (especially during leves) that I can hardly see what is around my character. Between my action bar, health,mp,tp bar, stamina bar, party member bars, chat log, minimap, rank/physical level bars, target health bar, debuff/buff status window, and levequest objectives window, I can hardly see anything without reducing all of these bars as much as I possibly can and shoving them into the corners of my screen. It's a huge cluster-f*** right now and what we DONT need is more f****** action bars in the way.
What the fuck do you play in 800x600 it's an extremely minimal design as is. That minimalistic design is what is hampering it's functionality. The last thing we need is less usability of the interface. I don't need a clusterfuck of macros and menus to do what what simple hotkey press that I map to the key of my choosing should accomplish.
