If they want to ban me from using a Razer Naga, G15 and G13 keyboard they are welcome to try. I would love to see how well this game supports it's self when they start banning equipment they specifically sold for this game.

Those are really neat... But I dislike the Razer Naga, (find it uncomfortable, not multibutton mice, just the razer naga) And I pref. to play SWTOR on my laptop.

Even so... allowing macro's, banning macro's... If people are using them, and their not unfair, and they're optional. Then why are they still not in the game!

the same reason we still have a lot of basic beta level issues, it is more profitable to work on the Cartel Market and expansions than add in content that will not draw more players to the game.

I was beginning to think the same thing... SWTOR seems to be turning into money hog, more than it is trying to bring players back.

When I joined this game it was so amazing. I left simply because after they ruined my UI setup (completely reset all my action bars when introducing the custom UI's) for alittle while. I came back and the game had been made free to play, my characters had been renamed and tossed around different servers like a whore at a frat party, and the game was begging for my money everywhere... Even though I was already subscribed.

I have to pay, to use EMOTES... cmon...

But honestly, this is off topic... Macros... where are they?

Another ability I would like to macro to my basic attacks... Dark Ward... A 20 second defensive buff with a cooldown of 15 seconds... sure it can be cut short if you're fighting a lot of enemies at once. But most tanking situations is more boss oriented.

The funny thing is that in the dev quote posted here in this thread, they said there will be some but no eta.

You really never know with these kinds of things. There's a lot of things game developers gave flat no's to that ended up happening anyway.

This reminds me of a famous signature of a forum member of this board:
"I don't know, why anyone can be against an Aimbot. They are entirely optional!"

You are clearly describing a combat advantage from using macros, so how could that be optional then? It would be "use it or die!", which I do not consider optional. It would be the same kind of optional as wearing your armor, when attempting a HM-run on any OP.... sure you can attempt AsaHM without a weapon, but it is not really an option.

Personally I prefer PvP to be decided by the skill a player shows in the match, not by the skill some other player has shown in providing the "must have" "one klick to win" macro.
