Cross Hotbar Suggestion

[rwilliams722]

I have been looking around lately and have not seen anyone suggest this. With the controller we have up two cross hotbars with L2 and R2. Why can we not have 3 or 4 crossbars by adding L1 and R1 as additional options. I know R1 cycles through them however I'm not a fan. I would rather have up 4 crossbars using L1, L2, R1 and R2. What does everyone think?

There's another by holding down both R2 and L2 together (referred to as "expanded hold controls" in the character configuration options).
If that's not enough room, you can also separate out in-combat and out-of-combat crossbars by whether your weapon is drawn or sheathed, so that the ones with your combat skills don't also need things like teleporting or summoning your mount, etc.

I think including L1 and R1 would run into too many conflicts. L1 + up/down cycles through the enemy list. L1 + right/left I think is the alliance list? L1 + square/triangle/circle/X selects between targeting filters. R1 + any of the 8 face buttons selects between the crossbars. That's an awful lot of features they'd have to disable to make L1 and R1 act like L2 and R2. (The alliance list is the only one of them I've never used, but that's because I've never done large-scale raid content that actually had an alliance.)
