If you don't want to repeat yourself and obvious you said it yourself and still repeating yourself, See bold. having nothing to add besides what you have said in other threads, Which in fact you are repeating yourself. that is the question that I have asked you.

I wasn't repeating myself at all, I was repeating what you said. And the question was still pointless, which is why I didn't answer it then, but I did answer it in my previous post, so you should be happy now.

Seeing that swapping gear, gear in general is a big part of Final Fantasy XI. Why do you feel it's ridiculous and it should be stopped?

Gotta get your facts straight... It's call asking a question.

You are extremely selective when you're reading. Apparently you skipped over the first part, the part where you told him that gear swapping is a "big part of FFXI", which is again your opinion and not at all a question. It is also precisely what his problem is, so you just took the fact that he's dissatisfied with (gear swaps) and evaluated it according to your opinion. That is very far from a question. Just because you turned it back to him and asked his opinion again it doesn't change the fact that you assumed something completely contrary to his judgment and posed it as a fact, when it really isn't.

Bold: Everyone posts a bit with themselves in mind, but knowing it's on the forums other people opinions will come to surface.

I don't get what you mean by that. Of course what I said is my opinion, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm not using more than two macro lines at most, so this wouldn't very much affect me. I just want SE to make a better game, because it deserves to be better.

Bold:You really have a habit speaking for others, But I know you're really speaking for yourself and using the words people, us, everyone, players as a handicap.

I am speaking for the people in this thread who disagreed with your judgment, and if you think there is no one, then why do you think there's 6 pages of everyone arguing against you? I never claimed to speak for everyone. I also never claimed that you're alone in your opinion. I'm just telling you there's another. If no one agreed with me they wouldn't have liked my posts. So yes, I am, as a matter of fact, representing more opinions than just my own. I'm not saying it to make myself sound superior, because, again, these are opinions. All of it. All of what you said and all of what I said. We can define who's reasonable or not, but we can't define who's right, because there is no right. But I not alone in thinking that 12 lines are not enough (apparently).

Bold:Wrong I picked it because it will convert my Macro set 2-A into macro set 1-A giving me more space to the macro bar and not having 2 or more Macro sets for a gear swap.

Added the bolded words, to make you understand my point. It would work for you, not for everyone. Hence, you picked it based on your playstyle, which is exactly what I said.

This is what you're calling a valid argument, everyone knows that all members playing the game plays it differently. so you're pointing out the obvious. But it's called "Gear swap" Sword,Shield,Bow,Ammo are considered weapons. but yeah I can see and understand how one can look at weapons being gear... and wanting to swap them out.

So you're arguing syntax now? Why is gear swap okay, but weapon swap isn't? And yes, weapons are, as a matter of fact, gear (and no, a shield is not considered a weapon, even though you can hit people in the face with it).

Bold: You did? you just said awhile back in your post you only just use one macro line and seeing we have 6 atm how would 12 effect you? "Remember this is just a question"

Just because it doesn't affect me personally, it doesn't mean it can't be unreasonable. I don't steal apples, that doesn't mean I think shooting every apple thief is reasonable just because it doesn't affect me. I gave you one very valid reason for why it's unreasonable, one you're still yet to refute: it doesn't work for everyone.

Bold:Show me where I did this, I know that I asked Thanotos a question, which they never answered...

I drew Thanotos' post as a parallel to show you how other people disagree with your judgment in the exact same way that you're disagreeing with mine. He thinks gear changing is unreasonable, you think changing more than 12 pieces is unreasonable. The latter part of that sentence was not directed at your response to him.

Bold:I personally would like to see this happen see figs.

Macro having 6 Lines:

Macro having 12 Lines:

And that still doesn't at all say why 32 slots are unreasaonable. I know what you want, you said it in your first post. But that doesn't help everyone. Other people would still be stuck on the same problem you're having now afterwards.

Bold:If you can come up with a need to have so many lines within a macro for said use. I might understand your question Edit: 20~30+.

Again, completely ignoring the question. I ask you, why is 32 lines bad? What speaks against it? I explicitely stated that I have no use for it and that I don't know what people can use it for. That's not the point. The point is, why not?

Here's a fictional scenario:
- Change 15 pieces of gear
- Cast a spell
- Change 15 pieces back

Happy? Now tell me why I shouldn't be able to do that if I wanted to.
