Why Macros belong in TOR.

As a Sith warrior i cant wait for macros, i really need to remove intervine from my keybindings and consolidate it with charge with a mouseover that changes depending if the target is friendly or hostile. and of course i want to add a retaliation after some of my attacks without the need to smash it all the time but more importantly i want to be able to macro to target an oponent and guard HES current target while taunting him at the same time

Man, how lazy can you be? This is a perfect example of why macros aren't needed.

This is also a perfect example of how macros take away an element of skill. It requires greater awareness and reflexes to recognize when Retaliation/Riposte is able to be used and press the key than it does to simply bind it to the end of all your attacks and watch it use itself whenever possible. As for acquiring your target's target, there is already an available keybind that allows this, and focus targets allow you to maintain targeting on both at once.

I'd like a couple macros simply for clearing up space on my bars. As it is, there's really no way to have a minimalist UI in this game. In WoW, I would use the same button for up to 3 different abilities by using a modifier (shift, ctrl, alt). While I can still get this functionality, it takes up 2 extra slots.

First things first, i said some of my attacks not all of them, there is a reason for that. Second, skill is about to know what to use and how to use in the right time not over clicking but hey, thats skill for me, i know about target of target i know how to focus and i know how to do all this stuff without the need of macros, macros are there to do your life easier, the fact that i need to target the target of my target in order to guard him is annoying and takes away at least 1 second wich i could use to press another thing.

Currently its annoying to have to click on an ally use intercede guard him and then taunt his attacker. with macros i could simply taunt attacker + guard my ally and then use a mouseover macro to intercede him while i keep attacking his attacker. also as a warrior i NEED to remove some suff from my bars cuz i have way too many binds and i need to free some slots.

If you feel you are in a disadvantage cuz you dont know how to script i can tell you that most games that allow macros usually have a post on their forums (stickied) with the most common and usefull macros.
