Why are their no macro's again?

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.

Sorry... I don't understand... Macro's don't give you an advantage, their fair, they fix problems the game developers put in combat. Oh, and the most important part of all... THEY ARE OPTIONAL!!!

Me having macro's has nothing to do with another player who doesn't use them. So why should I not have them?

With a macro.. I have all these 3 items/skills on 1 button. I press that 1 button and then continue to fight. My proper use of macro's has saved me from pushing 4 buttons in 1 global rotation, into pushing 2. Moments like those are what separates an average PvPer from a high ranking PvPer. And I like to be the best... Yay, power, yay Sith.

Look, the whole debate cab stop.

*IF* macros could work, they'd be in the game already. Macros would invite more players to sub, or f2p-preferred and make money because if you make it easier... more people play.

we all know and agree BW and EA are about making money.

so why are they not in the game? Same reason as i said 4-6 pages back. the engine cannot support it.

if it could be done, then there would be money to be made and EA would do it.

except, no

that would be one of the definitions of a macro. you can have macros with no logic, no timing, no checkups. they are still macros, tho

check my post in page 6 of this thread, where the DEVELOPERS admitted that a macro that lets you press 1 4 times, and each time it would do, in a cycle, skill 1, skill 2, skill 3, skill 4 with each keypress is completly within limits of acceptable.

it complies with the "one click one skill", has no logic added to it, and still it would be useful.


the currentproblem of the game is that this is ALLOWED by the developers, and some people can take advantage of it (and are doing it) thanks to expensive programmable mouses/keyboards, while others cant because they lack the bucks and the game doesnt have a free ingame option to do the same.


some people ARE using macros, and they risk nothing because it is ALLOWED. but other people CANT do the same because its an entirely "paid" feature...paid outside of the game, that is

if you cant see how wrong this is, I dont even know how to continue debating with you


I said it once, and I will say it again.
if they dont want ANY kind of macros, fine by me, but then BAN EVERYONE using a naga/programmable keyboard.
if they are fine with certain kind of low-level macros, as they seem to be, then add an ingame option that allows people to do ingame the same without spending 100 bucks on a mouse/keyboard.

Because, increased subs from macro-lovers would not compensate for sub loss from those of us who dislike automated gameplay.

NOT just the people in this thread who can afford to buy the hardware and then troll every macro thread that comes about so that they keep their pathetic advantage.
You are the bad players, not us.

I get that you weren't advocating them, it was just that your post was the best one to use to add my view, as it was leaning in the direction I wanted to go.
