You are still going to have to use the same abilities to DPS down that target; you are still going to have to heal your teammates in the same manner; and tank in the same manner for that matter. You're just doing it more efficiently. Efficiency does not equate to a reduction in difficulty. That's simply false and a misconception that's flying around these forums. I'm saying the game is already easy, not that it will make it easier. I'd have to have suffered brain damage to think this game is hard to me, giving me access to macros and others like me will put me above the "casuals" everyone is scared of hurting or whatever. Macros do give you an advantage over others who don't have/use them, I've seen it in a few games. SWG was my first encounter with them and the ones like me who could code several macros to all work together could train wreck "normal players" even though "everything works the same" without said macro(s) and isn't supposed to effect combat in some unfair manner. I do miss my 5 seconds to dead macro from swg, that was always a fun one to drop on some scrub.

Meanwhile, in Tera general chat - "The sad thing is, arguing with fanbois on the forums was more entertaining than their 300 million dollar single player MMO from 2008"

I had a combat macro for SWG that I could push one button and go AFK in the middle of a pack of mobs and kill them all. This is what people don't want to see here. You do not allow delay function or press a key to activate another macro so it could not be automated. What we want is simple and easy not some automated play for me macro that people think we want. btw i have a G19 and naga and I already have plenty of stuff bound to a few keys.

I'm really liking these last few answers to this thread. It makes me happy that there's an intelligent and articulate community that is PRO-macro. Too many people are against things they don't understand.

I personally see their odds as being better by tailoring their game to people who WoW was not right for than trying to compete directly against it. I think they said something about 500k being break even and they sold 2mil. Subs are well over one million with something like 75% retention in a market where fall-off is typical. I doubt the investors have much trouble with the market share. You wait for the next quarterly report. There is a reason the EA stock is dropping.

You think EA is some small company that has all its eggs in one basket ? EA is a HUGE company that has so many things going that anything could lower the stock. Although what is doing it right now is the failure of mass effect 3 and the outrage over what they're doing concerning the DLC for it.
