3 button presses either way, but one has 3 dedicated buttons and one has only 1 dedicated button.

Maybe, JUST maybe if they actually did that, SE would have a reason to stop taking away abilities, repackaging them and giving them back to us at later levels.
Yep.. Can't help but laugh when people argue against this idea because "muh dumbing down" when they aren't even getting the most out of the jobs they play to begin with and mostly do not even step foot in anything more difficult than a normal raid. It's laughable at best and not convincing to me in the slightest.

PVP-style combo buttons should absolutely be an option. Forcing each individual step in every combo to be its own separate button serves no purpose, does not make gameplay any more complicated, in fact accomplishes nothing but button bloat. Adding these combo buttons into PVE content would free up all kinds of hotbar space and even allow them to add more skills and more depth to the current jobs if desired while maintaining the same level of accessibility.

1-2-3 is not difficulty. It is not complexity. It is needless button bloat when 1-1-1 would work just fine while also allowing you to replace the 2-3 with other skills.
