What if I don't WANT skills on my bar?

[Seyra]

That's almost impossible. Heck, even their example of four--count 'em, four!--weapon skills features at least one that I can rule out ever using.

To clear my thought, I'm not saying anyone is wrong or right to think what they do. What my message really means is, you may have a thought on something but there are times to complain. Why doing it now while you can wait for the action list. This will be the time to complain if it doesn't suit you. But for now we know nothing except the number of actions and the fact that we won't be able to remove them. If by the release time the list has crap actions, actions you think you won't use or once in a blue moon then make your voices heard.

Why should we wait to ask for such a simple option? Keyword being option here. It's not going to hurt people to have this option available is it? I've probably already said this before but aren't more options in customizing the interface a good thing?

I 100% agree. Asking an option is good but using the uselessness of actions to add credit to that request before having knowledge of the said actions is irrelevant.

All im saying is where is the freedom, why the f**k are you setting my bar for me?

You don't sound like you'd even listen if the reason were explained to you.

So, if I don't want a skill on my bar, I HAVE to have it there?

Thanks for that...

Allow us to remove skills from our bar, but leave the cost of the skill or something.

I don't enjoy a cluttered bar and I remove anything I don't need for situations, please let us do this.

Went through Pugilist and if you remove all the Tier II skills, you're left with 19 skills (not counting traits). If we're cutting it to 15 it shouldn't be too severe for PGL (not sure about other classes, will be interesting to see what happens with mages), but it's stupid to not allow us to remove skills from the bar. Hell, I complain that I have to keep Spirit Dart on my action bar as CNJ. I realise that we can just throw them at the end of bar 3, but it'd be so much simpler to just let us remove them altogether.

I can't even remember the last time I used Discerning Eye or Presence of Mind on PGL.

It's usually the older people that resist and are afraid of change. It's kind of sad seeing some people age 30+ with families getting so worked up over unfinished and proposed changes to the game. I'm sure they're getting depressed that the Final Fantasy that they played in college is turning out to be something else. They kick, scream, pout, and throw a tantrum over half of the details of a proposed change. Sad. Very sad.

Now if the action bar was complementing a menu system, where all your actions are stored and can be used from there and you can set your favorites to the action bar this thread wouldn't exist.

Now that's a great idea, menus are great, we need some of that.

Imagine clicking on a mob and getting a menu with "attack" & "magic" on it and you didn't need to be in battle mode or waste an ability to "speed engage", wouldn't that be grand?

Eorzean dream right there.

I understand up to "attack" & "magic" but I don't get the "speed engage".

What do you mean? Is it something like the menu in Final Fantasy XI?
