Why Macros belong in TOR.

I completely agree. Macros and hopefully UI customization in the form of addons would be a great addition to the game and would not require much work on the developers side. The current UI and lack of macros hurts everyone who would like to play at a high level, but in my opinion the current UI setup is nearly crippling for pvp healers.

Ajjw actually the code he posted is a WOW working macro.

A slash command with a conditional and an action.

If you open a WOW macro editor and post his code it actually works.

This is easily the whiniest, most untrue thing I have seen on the forums today.

But today is still young.

Macros are crutches for baddie bads and the lazy.

I don't think anyone can rightfully disagree with this.

If you are either:

a) A baddie bad
or
b) Lazy

then I, personally, believe that you deserve to get smoked by non-bads, non-lazy PvPers, computer generated characters, 6 year-olds, and cats dancing on keyboards.

Again, for the cheap seats:

Needing Macros = Bads

Did you even read my post? The guy said he had to stare at his hotbar to fight... I don't know about you, but I certainly never do that, especially in pvp. He is clicking his abilities, I can guarantee you.

And the reason I associate macro-users with clickers is because 70% of the time, that is the case. They macros abilities into one spammable hotkey. Anyone with skill in movement/keybindings would not need macros to suceed in a game. Everyone here is saying that they're good players and that they don't NEED macros, they just want them. I guarantee you, any player who doesn't use macros in games, such as myself, would outscore players who do use macros in a game that doesn't support them.

The OP made this thread wanting to spark a discussion about macros, and yet anyone who posts opposing it just gets called a troll. I'm sorry, but that's not a discussion, that's a "support my cause or else" thread.

So skill is pushing the button when it lights up?


And of course I agree that you should not HAVE to look at your bars. Unfortunate that the class I play requires you to combine certain moves and clipping them can make a big difference.

Regardless of how the key is pressed (even tho 1-6 shift 1-6 , 2 side mouse buttons, and the letter "g" are all keybound) it is still a far to tedious.

Macro's would let me focus more on the game rather than the buttons is all Im saying.


p.s. Dont be so angry. And I believe the game would be better with macros, not destroyed.


pss play a op range class? Might have something to do with your attitude.

Highly vague, highly generalized, broad, bigoted, jaded, unsubstantiated, ignorant and for the most part, utterly irrelevant. Graphics =/= gameplay. You are stating opinion as fact and making statements you cannot possibly support.

You've made a fool of yourself here, with no encouragement from anyone else.

You clearly have not spoken with any competent WoW PvPers.

And finally, the only person I accused of trolling said, essentially "Lrn2play, GG". That is the very definition of trolling. That is not constructive in any way, that is not a rational argument, that is not conducive to constructive discourse, that is trolling and I identified it as such. Next.

/sign lol

WoW is full of whining little kids such as yourself, please go back to WoW where you can have everything you want if you cry enough.
