#2 -- there is zero reason to have more than one hotkey bar shown, ever. Shift1-4, Shift4-2, Shift3-3, etc. You can access all 100 hotkey slots without showing *any* on screen.

The best graphics and graphics card in the world dont mean shit if the only thing you can see is your UI. We invest in 300$+ video cards so we can play in these immersive 3D environments and then people design their UIs so that all they can see is 2D sprites
A) how is my UI an Monstrosity, it barely has anything on screen.

b) I play 6-8 Characters, you honestly want me to memorize 1000+ skills/shift commands + consumables and cool down timers? How do I know when my skills are up again? ESP? That's fucking retarded.

Edit: My hotbar buttons are actually much larger in that pic than normal, they're usually half that size and take up much less space.
