    Uh, no? The Acceleration update didn't do much to increase the number of guaranteed procs and it was not the main purpose of it. Rather, the change allows us to guarantee successive procs for buff windows. Sure it gives us 2 additional guaranteed procs per use, but the cool down was also doubled to mostly mitigate this.

    Also, a one button system for Red Mage procs would not work since there are two procs that upgrade a single ability and you want to be able cast either one at your choice depending on your needs. And really, the base RDM rotation is 5 buttons with barely any oGCD to weave in at all. It doesn't need simplification by any stretch of the imagination.

    Honestly, your suggestion would turn Bard into a one button job and you don't always want to use your proc immediately when it pops (e.g. buff windows) so it takes away that flexibility.

    Going from one proc every 35 seconds to 3 procs every 55 seconds is one proc per 6.25 minutes shy of double the procs.

    That's why I said mostly mitigated by the cooldown extension, but yes, I downplayed that aspect a bit to make a point that the main purpose and benefit of the change is to force consecutive procs. It frees up Embolden so we don't have to make a choice between selfish Embolden and buff window Embolden.
