    You have 3 rows on the action bar, thats 30 slots. Then you have two different macro bar's both with 3 rows of 10. So technically you have 90 slots. I think thats more than enough for a classes skill setup.

    I do agree however with having a system that saves my setups for each class. Ive got all my skills set to macro's, but it takes awhile for the macro to set all the skills.

    it being "more than enough" for some used to the FFXI system doesn't mean it's optimal, or confortable for everyone

    As you said setting a ton of macro is an inconvenient waste of time, while putting an ability in the action bar takes a second. Switching between bars is also inconvenient and cumbersome.

    Extensible action bars are pretty much a standard nowadays, and it would help a lot in making the game more more slender and streamlined.

    News flash, this isnt FFXI.

    The 30 slots your given on the action bar is plenty. I have all kinds of skills from 4 different classes on my pgl, and I still havnt used all the slots yet. Not to mention the combat is significantly different from XI. Your not going to be using 50 million macros and swapping out gear a dozen times over. It's a lot less convoluted imo.

    @Raansu What I would define convoluted is having to switch between different bars in the middle of a fight and then back

    If you don't like having longer bars, tough, you're very free not to extend them (that's the lovely part of extensible bars), letting people that like having skills on the same bar instead of split between multiple enjoy that as well

    Oh, and yeah, this isn't FFXI, that's exactly my point, if you actually read what I said
