When I said addition is better, I literally meant in giving you a feature that allows for a layout that is better for your disability,.This is where you're logic fails, as with many others. Additional abilities does not equate to better gameplay. If the abilities in question actually offer substantial benefit within the game, sure. But, if they do not, or too closely resemble something else already given to a job, they are a detriment and just take up space.
What job are you playing that requires over 60 hotkeys and giant hands?you do it because reaching for Ctrl+9 and alt+5 during burst is super annoying because you have no easily assignable space left after occupying all actually main and easy to reach buttons with basically 9 copies of same 3 buttons that do same thing with higher numbers and no reason to ever not just press next button in the order.
Then use the letters on your keyboard instead?Pressing 123 is not hard. What's hard is that you have one combo at 123, another at 145, two extra skills that you do post combo at 67, then aoe combo at 8910 and those are all just buttons you use all the time, and then there's like 12 more for the 30s, 60s and 120s bursts, buffs and then like 8 more for the mobility or utility actions. You don't consolidate combos because 123 is hard, you do it because reaching for Ctrl+9 and alt+5 during burst is super annoying because you have no easily assignable space left after occupying all actually main and easy to reach buttons with basically 9 copies of same 3 buttons that do same thing with higher numbers and no reason to ever not just press next button in the order.
Edit: Like you can LITERALLY bind buttons to ANY key on your keyboard to make it as intuituve as you want. We Do NOT needs a combo buttonf for that xD

Ah yes, sacrifice all the space of convince to access the menus on letters of keyboard because we have to have 6 copies of same button for great importance of complexity and difficulty of pressing them all in exact same order every time without pause for 6 minutes.
Or. OR. You could rebind those as well? YOu have a WHOLe keyboard to use, this sounds like a you problem over a keyboard problem.
I really wish XIV had opted for the more typical approach of having less buttons you use more often as opposed to making almost every ability learned in the post 60 stretch cooldowns you only use once every 30 seconds to two minutes.
