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

[Answa]

Look, I'm not arguing that I don't have space. I get that.

Why am I forced to have them on my bar?

Thats my question.

The counter question is why do you care, since you're not hurting for space?

I currently only ever use my first bar. Everything else is macroed in. This will not affect me in the slightest.

what if i dont want the bar all together the one with the skills on it?
I just want to use macros...

[Viridiana]

I know you get that. I'm illustrating a point. Their presence isn't hurting you in any way, so why do they need to be removed completely? Why are you so opposed to them being there?

Why should they be equipped if we're not going to use them?

Some people are minimalists, and just don't want "clutter" on their bars, even if that clutter is well out of the way. . .

Seriously, another mountain out of a molehill thread. If the spot is going to be there whether there's an ability slotted or not, why does it matter? The bar will always be there if you bring it up regardless of the picture in place. This is pure whining for the sake of doing it.

What if I want 5 bars with 6 skills on them instead of 3 bars with 10 skills ?

I should have the freedom to do so.

I hate that I have to have an action bar and that they're going to incorporate multiple bars shown at once, I'm also one of these minimalists, however the fact we're getting skills trimmed and rebalanced there's a reason for it, much like the reason they threw in sidequests on a buggy game foundation was to get the system itself in and adjust it later.

Though no matter what SE does there will be complaints about it.

Just seems silly to me to rule something out completely. Everything has some use some times, and I'm of the opinion that it's better to have access to as much as you can, just in case.

But if that's your opinion, you're free to have it. I'm in no position to say otherwise.

For me, it comes down to how I organize my bars.

I separate the actions on my bars with an empty space.

1-3 Standard attacks
4 empty
5-8 weaponskills
9 empty
0 Featerfoot

11-14 self buffs
15 empty
16-19 situational
20 Empty

21-23 single target taunts
24 empty
25-28 aoe taunts
29-30 empty


New system does not allow this because my bars will have actions I can not remove.

You have it arranged with the skills we have available now. I would say wait until next week to see how they will change. then with the five remaining slots available separate them across your three bars? ;p

Hmmmm... strange! Do you have fat fingers or you just like empty spaces? And are you a mouse-clicker? I'm a minimalist but that just seems wasteful to me... that poor 4 key.
