Well, I am hoping the UI does have action bars 9 and 10 but it is just a bug that I cannot set them up. What gives Blizzard? If you took them out then I must add it is a terrible mistake. Reducing the number of bars greatly hamstrings us older players who enjoy having everything on our screens. Say it isn’t so Joe, say it isn’t so!
I haven’t played with the new UI enough to know yet (just haven’t had time) but I think some of the bars surfaced by e.g. Bartender are actually pages on the main default bar (which get switched out with the up/down arrows next to it). If that’s true then in order to give you those two extra bars, they’d have to add a toggle that disables main bar pages to make room for more bars.
I’m an ‘older player’ (probably older than just about anyone on these forums) and I can assure you that I do not need 10 action bars cluttering up my screen. At most I use 4, maybe 5. Why in all the tiny Gnome gods would you need 10? The screen would be outrageously cluttered.

65 and use every button available. I also hotkey the bejebus out of everything. The more info the better. I do however have addon profiles for dungeons, raiding and pvp that have only 2 bars and all keybound macros. I am no duffer, played since launch on 5 accounts over the years. If Blizz is getting rid of two bars then I’ll be sad yet once again.
This game never had 10 action bars.
actually you can set up 12…the UI base only lets you use 10 and yes my warlock uses them all…however ive noticed some addons glitch the 9 and 10 off screen
Wow how many talents do Mages have that require 10 full action bars!?
Instead of the portal menu they have every portal on their bar. Same with every type of poly and every teleport.
That’s weird, I have drop downs for my Hexes and my Rogue’s poisons…you’d think Blizzard would do that for Mage portals as well…
They did. But this guy needs to see them all

You can turn bars off.
The max number of action bars increased from 6 to 8 when they implemented the options to customize the UI.
Bars 9 and 10 were available through Bartender.
I hope I got this right.
Yeah Bartender has 8 bars and ONE bonus action bar and 3 class bar that can be used as reg ones and ONE extra action bar

Thank you for posting this. I thought I was losing my damn mind, there were more action bars with Bartender and I found a bunch of missing buttons with the default UI. I have potions/flasks/trinkets/toys/mounts/hearthstones etc. on my action bars, and I also use all of the bars…so for those minimalists (organized individuals) - kudos for not needing them. For button hoarders like me, I guess I’ll keep using Bartender…however some buttons are not working properly (i.e. hunter summon pet)…fingers crossed it gets fixed…
Pets, mounts, toys, and other fun. Use your imagination.
I just use 5 bars on all my characters. I have yet to fill them.
I use the minimum number of spells that get the job done.
