I enjoy playing multiple characters but since they all use different class mechanics I end up struggling with my keybinds. The basic weapon attacks are easy to switch between but when I go from playing my ranger to playing Elementalist, for example, I flounder for a while.

Each character needs their own specific keybind so that those of us who play multiple characters can stay effective.

Character specific keybinds could be stored locally preventing the need for expanding the database online. A simple text based file that could be emailed to your other computers if needed.

The skill interface is simply badly thought out, sometimes I have an aoe skill on button 1, sometimes it’s on button 3 etc. I assume the idea is with so few skills you will get used to it but it still seems like a half finished job. The other solution would be to allow us to swap skills on all slots or at least slots 1 to 5 – this won’t happen as 1 to 3 are MH, 4 and 5 OH, 6 healing etc etc. You could get a fully programmeable kbd/mouse and swap configs when you swap chars maybe, " go buy hardware, Anet fail at basic programming."

The weapon binds are fine its mainly the profession specific abilities like the engineer skills vs the necro DS skill vs Elementalist attunement.

But any skills would benefit from this.
