Too many times have I searched for someone wise.

Really, I would love to hear what you have to say.

On macros, on programming, on everything.

Lingering hope remains that you do not hold your secrets back.

Lastly, do look at the first letters of each sentence.

Actually, that is code. please leave quietly now.

And once again showing your lack of experience, back in Vanilla WoW there was the same thing that happened in DCUO, GCD bypassing via macros, Blizzard addressed it pretty quickly however at least.
This is my point - A well done macro system allows the devs to add and remove functionality as they see fit. There were once loopholes in WoW's API that were fixed by removing such functionality.

The only way you can use botting and automation as an argument after even admitting that yourself is if you don't trust BioWare to implement it to a good enough standard.

I do have faith that they could deliver a system just as robust as WoW.

I wasn't aware SW:TOR had the same programming as other MMOs and was vulnerable to such exploits.

Please, tell me the similarities in languages used for each game and their architecture on which you worked so hard.

Either get better and adapt to the combat system or go back to WoW or Rift. I'm tired of games always getting destroyed by players that lack skill.

I'm so damn tired of people unable to play games without everything being handed to them.

Honestly... everyone in support of macros in this thread KNOWS they only want macros so that they can play with one hand. Macros take the skill out of a game - they destroy combat, make the game feel robotic, and completely ruin the gaming experience.

As for the person you quoted, Avaer, I completely agree with you on your post. I NEVER look at my skill bars when pvping unless it's to check my Cooldowns on abilities. It seems to me that the only reason he is looking at his skill bars, and thinking that Marauder is a gimped class (LMFAO) is because he is clicking his abilities.

Still waiting on those sources my friend. What's that? Oh, yeah. WoW's macro API doesn't allow automation. How silly of me to forget.

Not everyone in this thread is a keyboard turning clicker playing at a snail's pace. Stop assuming that's the case.
