Excluding Cross Hotbars from R1/RB rotation

[Korbei]

Assuming you have the weapon sheathed and weapon drawn set up exactly the same way, you're right. That functions essentially in the manner I'm describing.

But you have to change both sets every time. Why the redundancy?! Who actually wants different hotbars based on whether their weapon is out? Obviously someone but it's not me.

I suppose to clarify/simplify, you could say I'm asking for that separation between sheathed/drawn to be removed.. but I assume someone wants and uses that feature and I'm not here to advocate for the removal of anything. I just a single set of those 8 checkboxes to act in a global manner, regardless of stipulations like whether my weapon is drawn.

Having different settings for whether your weapon is drawn or sheathed is beneficial in multiple ways and is something people should take advantage of.

For example, you do not need access to transportation, minions, emotes other than /comfort, and job changes when you are in combat, so there is no reason bars that contain those actions should be available when your weapon is drawn--and if you need to keep those bars available because they have in-combat actions on them, you should probably rearrange your bars so that things that you don't need in combat aren't on your combat bars.
