I could go all the way to make an "you're an ableist" argument about people with arthrosis or whatever, but I don't want to even go there, just... why are you all so masochistic that you actually want to make your life harder for the exact same result ? Don't pretend 1-2-3 combos are fun, so 1-1-1 combos surely won't be much less fun. The fun is in other parts of the gameplay, and again, the fact you can't see that says a lot about you.
I don't make my life harder for the exact same result. I've mentioned already even, in that very post you're quoting, that reducing the class design to just 1 button already makes my brain incapable of handling other systems, as it gets bored out of its mind. We're right that moving to 2 or 3 doesn't take really much, but that's the thing, it's still a thought. It keeps my brain with even the most minor of activity to do, rather than just try to make it scream DID IT PROC DID IT PROC????? over and over. BRD is my example, as the 1 button job in the game, I almost never get proper use of ref arrow procs, yet even just having a second button (like dnc) I suddenly notice the procs instantly. Minor thought goes a long way.

So, to tl;dr that, I'm not making it harder. For me, I'm actually making it easier.

For the sake of the "fun" of something that's been a bore for 8 years. I just don't understand y'all, tbh, it's not even about tryhards anymore, you're just... weird.
A basic controller works just fine. I don't seem to recall any controller player I know of (including real life players) who seem to need some special controller for the game. Far as I'm aware, Yoshida himself even plays with a basic controller, to ensure it's never broken, because he'll notice. As for bloat, reducing combo's doesn't reduce bloat. Removing abilities that are literally unused, like Fluid Aura, do that. Then again, I'm replying to someone who thinks I'm 'jerking off' because of how shortening the combo's completely kill what little engagement I can even find in some classes.

I'd love to, but there's still snow here. But if you could try producing an actually on fire insult instead of the One in the "Internet insults for dummies" guide, it might melt a little faster and let me.
