They are a lot of abilities but something that I find refreshing in comparison with other games, 90% of the abilities are actually useful and by utilizing all of them you are a much better player.

In a fight I can use at least 15 different abilities. If you don't find the amount of buttons annoying then chances are you're not playing your character up to it's true potential and just spamming a couple things. Or you're actually able to handle a little more complex rotation and you're able to time your cooldowns right, why do you want to dump it down? And I don't get your hotkey problem either, 1-5 qertfgcv are all very easy to hit, same if you bind them all with shift for another skill and then you also have your mousebuttons, that's more than enough to pull it off easily with a little practise that actually comes while leveling.

It's archaic design, really really bad design. I just hope they adress all of it in the 1.2 UI revamp. Quote: I might agree with that if the game just started development in 2012, but it didn't. Much of the UI design was probably done several years ago. The UI was done multiple times better years ago in other games as well.

I just made a guardian at lvl 16 now so I don't have a ton of abilities. So take my response as you will. If they have so many useful buttons and one can use them properly, shouldn't this give the class an advantage? My lvl 44 sage healer really only has 7 or so useful abilities making my damage output poor. (of course this made my healing awesome soooo... I'm not sure I have a point...)
