you have to be in passive mode to set skills to your action bar. It would help to read how to play a game before complaining about its controls.

You should go back to WoW, its an established MMO with lots of content. You can be level capped in 2 weeks, and have both your primary and secondary crafting skills capped a couple days after that. Instant gratification... Yes,that seems to be what you expect. Plus they did the great reset, so all that gear you worked so hard for is now obsolete crap that any noob can exceed in the first cataclysm dungeon. Come back to this one after its first expansion pack, there will be plenty to do then.
