Or we could just NOT have spent additional time just to waste art, sound, and flavor text assets by turning effectively the same abilities into truly the same abilities?

I get what you're going for, Ewok, and it'd be better than nothing. But, I'd personally rather get back at least what we had, removing the Role Actions that merely demand that we spend more time in menus to put on our bars what used to be automatically placed there, and will wholly oppose any system that adds even more wasteful gimmicks just to cover up... intentional asset waste.
