QoL and reducing number of the buttons suggestion

[Ardeth]

I'll never understand the more buttons=better game people. They always get so offended like you're asking for 1 button to press when it's almost always this job has 30 skills and like 3 of them could be turned into traits and the job wouldn't change much. And it's like you've shot their grandmother. It's ok to find redundancys and ask for them to be removed or streamlined. As an example, you used to have to get a crank out and turn your engine over with it to drive it. Now you can start it from your phone. I got a new car recently, and I barely have a key. Losing, like, let's say, True North because they removed positionals isn't that massive of a deal. Most bosses don't have positions anymore. And most players don't even do the positionals. Also, True North trivializes a great deal of it as well. They've gone from if you don't do them, you break your combo to eh I lost some dps or gauge. And if you don't use a meter, you wouldn't even notice it anyway. That's a redundancy. Granted, that % of damage adds up in a fight, but if that % was just added back to the skill even at a fraction of what it was, nobody would even notice. Well, except the meter people. But honestly, that's not remotely close to everyone who plays this game. It's like keeping it for that 10% or whatever the real number is.

I just think people take change too seriously. Unless they go full World of Warcraft, you have 6 buttons to press you're gonna be fine. Btw I played back then, and it sucked. So having next to no buttons also isn't the awnser, but losing 1 or 2 isn't the end of the world.

Just open your mind a little is all I'm asking.
