Why are their no macro's again?

Stop being lazy.

Nice troll attempt. 1/10.

Exactly.

This thread FAILS

It is quite funny how Macros users defend their stance saying the game's design is bad... It is really an issue of being lazy and not wanting to press several buttons. lol.

If you use macros and most of the players prefer a honest gaming experience that requires skill then that makes you a cheater and not a true gamer.

If you want to risk banning by using hardware to circumvent the in game ability to "chain" multiple actions to a single keystroke, be my guest.

Except as presented by the OP it is exactly that! A crutch and lack of skill. The "bad design" excuse is a crap excuse too. There is nothing in the game design here that is making you NEED to string together macros just to play the game. It's just another piss poor excuse, and excuses are like ******es, everyone's got em and they all stink.

Because it's not lazy to sit on your *** and play video games? Besides what gives you the right to tell people not be lazy, they are quite entitled to being lazy if they want to.

Macros are fine. Needed? no, helpful? yes. They don't effect anyone but the person using them so if you don't like them, don't use them. I like they make you focus on hotbars less and more on the game at hand. With the massive bloat of abilities adding more action bars just creates a UI clusterfart. They can either streamline things or give us the tools to do it ourselves.

This is not true. Macros will improve players overall performance. Others in order to achieve the same level will have to use macros as well. Macros will stop being optional. This is obvious, stop suggesting they are optional.

Not sure your understanding. I don't need third party software running in the game to use my macros. My G15 Logitech keyboard does all my Macros for me. Paired with my Naga razor mouse {of which there is a SWTOR version} and I have 66 keys to tie abilitys too. If you need third party software to Macro with you should not be playing.

Either it's an odd coincidence that almost every person arguing that macros are ok if not a good thing, citing "bad design" as an excuse to use them, and all are using the same near identical forum avatar with the Jawas; or someone is using multiple accounts to try and justify his using of macros because of sheer laziness and/or lack of skill.
