I'm having a hard time finding out where the devs said this, do you have some kind of post or something on hand I can read? I'm genuinely interested.

More like how ability swapping in EQN might work someday, or maybe it'll be different. Who knows at this point.
Anyway, I do like restricted choices, while also having the flexibility of switching skills mid-combat at a price. A design that hard-locks you into your selection once in combat marginalizes situational and utlity skills, imo (GW1+2). Otoh if you can switch to those rarely needed abilities at the cost of some endurance or time or channeling the switch, you have more tactical options, without 'just use everything!1' facerolling through 5 hotbars.

That's a pretty silly argument isn't it? It's just spec swapping or anything like that. I thought ESO's class system was excellent and it allowed you to pre-make your skill lineup. I really love that idea. Ability bloat is bad. Limited action sets like GW2 is on the other end of the spectrum. I like the deck building aspect of this type of system. GW1 from what I remember was awesome in this respect too. If wildstar wasn't a shit game, it would of been interesting too. They had the bones for it, but not the design.

A lot of my opinion on the subject was invalidated with the link to butler talking about template loadouts. Albeit from a post dating back to 2013.
Let's just hope daybreak stays the course on non restrictive templating.
In regards to your ESO comparison they didn't restrict the action bar to very specific skill types (as far as slots on the bar are concerned). Aside from maybe ultimates.
Edit: My primary concern now is based on pidgeon holing people into "BiS" abilities for the particular slot in mind. I absolutely don't like arbitrary skill slot restrictions in any game.
I always liked the sound of the EQN class system but I think thats because I played DFUW and the systems sounded so similar and I know how well it works in a horizontal progression based game.
True. I don't honestly expect anyone in this studio to actually make a working fun game. Then again, maybe a change in management will do wonders. I won't hold my breath.
Everquest Next will be a steaming pile of shit.
I cannot understate how bad this game will be.
