Intelligent players adapt to bad situations, but present solutions to improve the future.

People wouldnt want macros if the combat abilities didn't overlap so much (I.e. sunder strike and slash). If someone doesn't like macros in their game then don't create a system that asks for it. You know what, some people prefer to watch the action and not ability bars.

Razer (perhaps others) already has plenty of products to macro with. So you might as well put you customers with less disposable income on the same level.

Macro'ing is great for roleplayers so they can string together some fun chat stuff.

Dear bioware, if you are going to implement macros then for all that's holy please be sure to disable ability failure messages. You know what just steal RIFTs ui system. Its pretty damn slick

just another thing to add to the ever growing list of "fairly standard UI functions which you've come to expect in any modern day mmo but for some strange reason arent in the old republic"... stick this one on the list, just below target of target portraits.

What's easier growing a 3rd arm or implementing macros?

so just implement macros...

EDIT or you could also get rid of some abilities and then we don't need macros

My Sith Warrior craves a:
/cast Force Scream;/y FUS RO DAH;
macro!!!!

(Also macro's are more like scopes for weapons...sure you can hit the target without them just fine but having a scope helps...You still need to be able to shoot the weapon to use it though.)

It's clear you read absolutely nothing of what I posted, I devoted a paragraph to that particular myth, and why it's so blatantly wrong.

Not every macro is a "cast-sequence" which is not what I'm in support of, and not what this thread is about.
So hes telling the truth and then you considering him a troll? Ye good job.... He is correct though.
