What would you guys think about getting more Dynamic, "Combo" abilities?

I've always been in favor of button condensing for one main reason: It opens up more button slots so the devs are less trigger happy with removing actually fun abilities each expansion to keep a job's button count within a certain range.

1-2-3 is just as mindless as 1-1-1. Anyone who's even paying the tiniest, sliver of modicrum of attention will never fail that sequence; made even more redundant with abilities like GNB where you can't even hit Gnashing Fang skills out of order by accident, as it literally locks each ability sequentially. It's the absolute smallest amount of depth you could ever possibly have. Compared to much more interesting options like extra OGCDs which are rotation changing and actually make jobs less dumbed down.

Gnashing Fang could literally be one whole button like Continuation and literally nothing is lost, except you gain 2 button slots.

Condense combos to open up room for actual interesting and depth-adding abilities next expansion while keeping everything we currently have. I've played oher MMOs that have roles/jobs/classes/etc with more depth with only like 7-8 buttons total in their kit, half of which are OGCDs.

Yes it's ridiculous when people say that 1,2,3 is any different than 1,1,1 . GW2 does this and it has pretty complex combat system compared to ours.

And you are correct. We lose skills each expansion since there is literally no room anymore for new abilities so they have to remove or combine old skills.
