I can't wait until we are limited to a single hotbutton window, like classic. Too many bards exploit multiple hotbutton windows and are able to make all these extra hotkeys without having to swap pages.

I'd say it's playing in the rules given the client we're using.

I agree with you, if you are saying that it is MUCH easier to do some things that were prohibitively difficult in classic EQ that folks do here because of the very (compared to classic) user-friendly UI. Many of the top players here wouldn't have had the patience and endurance to wrestle with the clunkiness of the original ui and still play the same way. Everything from tab targetting to extra hotbars. Not to mention all the cheap programmable keyboards/mouses and other (legal) macro programs.

The problem is that I don't think the devs could really jam this genie back into the bottle. At best, they could make the game more cumbersome for new players who haven't worked out the modern work-arounds. IMO, their resources are better deployed to fixing/improving other parts of p99.
