Difficulty in the game shouldn't come from a poor UI. It should come from content. The job of a UI is the transfer the command of the user as easily and as unobtrusive as possible. As a healer at least, the game should be about making quick decisions based upon the situation. That's what is fun about playing a healer, not muddling through an archaic UI.

I'm at work in my iPhone, so responding to this is difficult. Firstly, in intense fights your triage target will oftentimes change multiple times a second (I'm assuming. I'm not end game yet but I have TONS of MMo healing experience. FFXI, EQ2, AO, Lineage 2, WoW, DAoC and countless F2Ps) Who needs the heal the most (balanced against how important the player is) will change. It happens. That's what makes healing fun. It's the split second decisions that make it engaging and challenging. With UI improvements, this is able to be pushed farther. Games with with sophisticated UIs allow for a higher level of decision making. I started WoW a few months after release and at that time they had mouseover macros. They had addons that were just easier to use versions of macro and they had macros you could program yourself. I'm not sure what you meant by core feature but mouseover macros were in there from the beginning or soon after. So you're wrong there. Also, ABC. Always be casting. I don't know how you play but as a healer, I'm always doing something. I will be interrupting, CCing, watching for adds, DPSing (if resources allow). I like to be the best that I can be. Sitting around watching bars may get the job done but I want content that is based around everyone being all they an be not content stiffed by UI constraints. EDIT: Holy crap perfect analogy. The healing system in this game is like trying to make posts on a iPhone. It takes triple the time to do something half as well. If you don't think so try posting on an iPhone. Ugh, it sucks!

More facts: You cannot perform two moves faster than you can perform one move. The confirmation box can only be clicked after you enter your authenticator code. Better yet, I want a progress bar for the "uploading" of heals and the "downloading" of heals and I want my cursor to turn into an hourglass. I literally want to hear a 56k modem in the background when I cast a heal. Next patch I want them to make it where I write each person a letter stating that I am healing them and if someone doesn't send me a thank you letter I will refuse to heal them...man, those stamps are going to get expensive. Then, my friends, we will be in healing nirvana. I know a poster above me said the anti-mouse over people weren't saying they were better and that may be the case for that one poster but look at the 20 previous pages.

Not getting the reference bro.

I want my healing UI to be like old, turn based RPGs. I want to search through various menus to find the spell I want and then I want to scroll through a list of players until I reach whom I want to heal and then I would like for the healing to commence...eventually. Anyone who wants a more sophisticated way to heal is a bad player. Forsake your advanced healing methods and embrace the past! As a matter of fact, do away with absorbs, HoTs, and AoE heals; real men heal with the standard "heal".
