    To me, I think the blinking needs to go. I play on the 360 and that in itself presents a problem since I'm on a controller more then on the keyboard, and a short wired keyboard at that. So to use the tab button causes me to drop my controller grab the keyboard to use the macro with stal in it, tab through the party until I get the one to cure, and then cure them. Thats a second or more time wasted, and the possible death of someone in the party. Plus the limitations of the 360 when someone blinks is annoying. Even before 14 came out and the servers quieted down, I can be say in Dragon's Aery with 30+ people and a ton of lag....And while using STAL the tank blinked for gear changes, and I could not even tab to target them....And I was standing right next to them when they gear changed. It took several seconds for them to reappear to the point that I could target them, and my pointer was pointing to the ground and no body was there for up to a minute later. Same thing in Besieged, Dyna, and any place else that had a lot of lag. So STAL is not the total answer because I still use it today....It just does not work for 360 users when there is a lot of lag. So I personally gave up and my macros now say "/ma "Cure V" "Person's name" because that was the only way I could cut through the blink/Lag problem and keep the party alive...But life would be easier if I didnt have to constantly swap between the controller and the keyboard just to cure someone because they blinked to change gear.

    When you use <stal>, you do not need to tab. You can scroll up and down the party list with the Arrow keys. I believe this also works with the controller's D-Pad, but as I play on PC I could not confirm that for you.
