I couldn't agree about elite skill capturing and the 8 skill bar more.
For anyone that doesn't know, you don't 'train' elite skills in GW. You actually have to venture out in the world, find a boss or 'elite' that uses that skill, defeat him and learn his skill. In my opinion, this is by far more fun than dinging 80, walking up to a trainer and clicking the "learn" button a few times. I actually think pretty much every skill should be acquired in this way.
5 years and 2 xpacs have introduced quite a few spells/abilities for players in WoW, and many players struggle with not only remembering and using all their abilities appropriately, but laying out the UI so as not to have ability buttons cluttering the screen. GW makes you choose 8 abilities at a time, vastly simplifying both the mechanics of the game as as well as the UI.
