Exactly. Two manual keystrokes takes just as long as running a macro, if not longer. And having to use the 6 hotbar slots (which still doesn't satisfy all 8 gems) just to fix a faulty mechanic that everyone changes to begin with doesn't make sense. And "keeping it classic" is a bad excuse. Even though I agree with keeping things as original as possible, but to an extent.
Well, I don't want to argue the "Classic vs Efficient" thing. The UI is what it is, so how to use it as best as possible. I am now leaning toward getting rid of song macros to free up the hotbar, but only so long as I am still as efficient at twisting. You have to have a different melody for groups vs solo vs pulling (it seems to me at least), so I could just as easily type a different "word" as I can type a different sequence of macros. It's just the double click is the thing holding me back. But, getting the hotbar back is really important to me, especially if I am going to start switching instruments at higher levels.
