Trying to be constructive. Macros in wow were a joke. stance swapping just to play warrior. Mouse over macro's which were the OP's whole point(see his 2nd post) are rediculously foolish in a keybind ability game.

no macros please. one button to do multiple things = easy mode. the game is just fine the way it is concerning macros.

it isn't fine because mara/sents are ridiculously OP but that is another thread. i love it how they stand in the fire pit and never take any damage. WTG BW.

Macro is always there, just get a programmable gaming mouse & keyboard. Cheap one Logitech G300, if more budget get a Razer. Problem solved.

Some people against macro and like the hard way? Well, their choice, none of my problem. I play the game for fun, not for work.


Now if Bioware just give an option to disable the annoying red error flytext which floods my screen...

I'm not sure I'd be opposed to the kind of macro described in the original post, however, an observation:

I've been playing since early access, and never seen a healer say:
  • "Man, I could be doing so much better if we had macros in this game"
OR
  • "This is so frustrating, I can't heal this encounter effectively without macros"

I don't see any reason not to apply macros if just for changing target focus. PvPers know how hell it is the clicking or tabing targeting system... Sometimes with only ONE enemy in front of you, you need to tab 3 or 4 times to select him....

THIS.

But I think macros detract from PvE as well. Seriously, you can do HM EC piss drunk if you have macros
