As to the extra trouble when the Orders bar is active, this might end up being another that, like the pet hotbar, a lot of people turn off and put the skills directly on their regular hotbars instead.

I play on PS4 with controller where picking up a mouse isn't even an option, since I don't have one. (And I don't have a desk to use one on, so there's no use in anyone pointing out that a mouse could be plugged into the PS4. I play from my couch, which is something I have no intention of changing.) Controller users are limited to the "Confirm" button, and have to explicitly select and then de-select the Orders bar before and after every time we want to use it. It works (usually), but it's cumbersome and therefore slow. Maybe it would speed up a bit once I'm more used to it, but I may end up just using up three slots on my crossbar instead (probably my WXHB, as I think I can make room there).


... But as you said, that doesn't address the whole problem, just the latest feature that exacerbates it.
