Why Macros belong in TOR.

The **** is mouse-over? Honest question.

I never played WoW, but by the look of this thread, it seems like you didn't have to CLICK on stuff to target it?
Really?
I'm asking because somehow the OP seems to think this garbage is OMGREQUIRED to be a skilled player.


Also, we (you, actually) are playing a game with a global cooldown wich lasts half an hour and abilities with casting time of two hours, so good reflexes aren't required to be "skilled".
On top of this, you want a macro doing all the keyboard work for you.

SO what's left to filter bad players from good players?
O right, NOTHING. That''s what you WoW kids are used to.


I also like how the OP labels as troll everyone who dares to disagree with his WoW garbage.

focus macros are the mmo equivalent of an aim bot.

why not get good at how THIS game is.... it certainly isn't wow. So try to get used to it

I dont understand why so many people are making a big deal over putting a benign element in this game.....

Tell me one good reason why this game shouldnt have macros. And saying something like 'cuz it makes players lazy' is not a reason thats an opinion. If it affects you in some way please elaborate. If you say it gives other players the edge.... then your the one whos lazy and doesnt want to learn how to use them....

How can i thumbs up this post?

Please don't turn this game into Rift. Where 2-4 buttons are all you need to be effective.

Clickers want to feel special by saying they use "binds."

i often tab interrupt, go back to dps'ing first target to kill them, about 75% of the time it comes off, the other 25% i end up interrupting some guy off in the distance.

but the issue there is tab targeting is fubar, it's what needs fixing.

the focus macro replaces changing target, using skill, changing target back, that's not complexity, it adds simplicity, and with a 1.5s gcd, it simplifies the gameplay (which isn;t exactly challenging as is) and mechanizes it (which is exactly what it felt like in wow).

most of my friends play with programmable mouse/gaming keyboards
so they have the macros they want
the game not allowing me to make those same macros myself set an unfair playingfield

i used macros today to flourish and heal my bh and ent. oh wait that was swgemu, what forum was this again?

totally read this as Macross
