Unless they allow a skill that replace a certain skill to be used in a lower level area then the player is stuck with placing that skill into their skill bar incase they get into old content, forced to use only old skills, which SE tends to want players to return to older content to help newer players.

SE will need to allow the "Replace" skills to be used in older content or allow all skills to be used in older level sync content if they wish to remove the issue of too many skills in slots.
Didn't stop them from making the hot mess that the tanks are in (in regards to aggro) and the general gameplay of AST, DRK and MCH. And even then, these are post-60 additions that wouldn't have affect unless it was a change to the ability itself (additions to BotD as you level, versus changes to abilties like barrage and RoD). And even then, I'm mostly referring to foddler skills that add no depth; abilties like gauss round, DwaD, and cross skills in general.
