Why Macros belong in TOR.

I already have my Masters degree in Computer Systems Engineering / Software Engineering and have already accomplished my goals of a PHD. that is code.

I like this guy. More if he put me on ignore because of my views.

I love how he waits for his cooldowns, to click with his mouse. Yes, gotta have macros! Ummm no /sarcasm.

And how many people is this majority I keep hearing about??

Confirmation of a troll. Welcome to my ignore list dear.

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.

And people think I dont understand macros?

Let me break it down more...
Macro button F
Execute quickslot 10;
Execute ability jack you up;
Pause 1.1;
Execute ability jack up up more;
Execute emote /laugh;
Pause 1.1;
Execute ability heal me I am hurt;
End

Automated. Any questions?

Anyone playing above 2000 MMR in WoW, either Arena or RBG would absolutely dominate the majority of the SWTOR PvPing population that I've seen. 2000 MMR, by the way, is mid-range.

I'm not sure where you associated Macros with keyboard turning, but the opposite is the truth.

If you're talking about MMO PvP, WoW is the ONLY place you'll find it played at the highest level currently. The game is hugely popular, established over many years, has a huge population and PvPing community - and the most extensively developed competitive PvP scene in the MMO market, by far. The game also supports Macros, which are considered absolutely vital to compete at higher levels. WoW arena was a part of the MLG circuit a couple of years ago. I'd like to see SWTOR PvP be similarly popular/competitive or even more so, which is why I'm advocating for macros.

WOW is terrible, there is no defending it. Is it currently the biggest MMO? Yes it is. Wanna know why? Because it can be played on a toaster oven.

Every 8-year-old punk and his friend is playing wow because it literally has no graphical requirements at all. That, combined with the fact that it caters to every care-bear on Earth, is why it is so popular, not because it is a great game, not because it has IMMENSE pvp, or because it has a great player base. The ONLY reason it is popular is because it supports one-handed, lazy, completely robotic, unimmersive gameplay that lure in all the keyboard turning pveers from across the globe.

WOW has macros because it's player base whined and moaned (like you're doing right now) for easier gameplay. Every competant person I've ever met from WOW said that they hated Macros and that they destroyed the game.
