Why Macros belong in TOR.

So press the 2 buttons one after the other.

Yes to be honest macros make thesame sequence of buttons easier. This is why they should not come. It should not be easy, it should be challenging, difficult, you should have to think on your feet and press the keys accordingly, you should not target someone and hit a button that does multiple things for you that you should really be doing yourself.

couldn't have said it better myself

Well said, plz put macro support in.

Signed. Macros belong in pvp in this stage of the mmo genre.

Anyone who refutes this point either does not understand the precise nature of competitive pvp, or has witnessed a beast-of-a cast-sequence (which was likely broken, by *That one company who made that one popular game*, in the next hot-fix).

I played arena very competitively for a longer time than I'd care to admit, and in ToR the lack of macros to tie in with focus is disappointing to say the least. Not to mention the utility that mouse-over brings to this clunky game. (In its current, early form....)

Yes, some people abuse them (macros), no, that doesn't mean they (macros) should be excluded from our arsenal...

Pressing that off-GCD ability along with that cool down can define a win, and that is what sets the bar for competition. Everyone who has performed well knows that every GCD counts, as well as every keybind slot.

Port it straight-away from WoW, if possible, that macro system works (almost) flawlessly.

EDIT: http://www.skill-capped.com/watch/69...rt-of-binding/
It's not easy to explain, but for a majority of us, (no scientific data to prove this) setting up a fluid set of keybinds/macros is nearly essential to squeeze every ounce of performance out of our character, most likely after we have already reached a high level of skill on said character.

Ok, that's all from me.

Please, oh mighty Bioware, grant us this privilege.

Macro's have no place in this game. All they do is make it more easy mode so you can compete with better players. If you want macros, go back to World of Pandas.

Blizzard - and other developers - have stated numerous times that macros and modifications were a mistake to implement.


Bioware are unlikely to follow in their footsteps

Good riddance, I say. Pitch a player against a player, not a player and his macros against a player.

All I know is if I try to put every ability on my bars, (with consumables) I run out of space.

While not having macros isn't the end of the world, it would be nice to have some viable way to not become a mouth breathing clicker.

Also, why does the pet bar have to cover up an action bar?

made 2300+ 2v2, 3v3 in wow playing a balance druid and shadow priest pretty much every pvp season. Tried macros a few times and prefer to play hardcore without them, a good player with a good gaming mouse can get by fine without them however I am not opposed to making them a feature

Keep macros out of this game. They are for lazy peeps.. Keep macros out.

With the current community feedback regarding macros I am going to guess they will allow macros in the future or if not, someone else will.
Just a matter of time.
