[Suggestion] Consolidating Equip Macros

[FrankReynolds]

uhh what are you talking about?





This clearly states its not gonna happen both of them.

1 action = swap into weapon skill gear.

1 action = swap into weapon skill gear.

That's how it should be.

Hey guys,

I just wanted to let you know that we understand everyone's viewpoints as to why swapping additional gear via macros would be favorable, and to some, it may not.

The following policies were established from the beginning after thoroughly exploring the macro feature:

1. The fundamental rule is that macros execute one action per line. (Excluding “/wait”)
2. It is not possible to automate things nor call other macros within a macro.

Due to the aforementioned reasons, we do not plan to expand macros and we appreciate your understanding.

This clearly states its not gonna happen both of them.

Like I said early, this doesn't state they can't increase the line's in each macro. Which would help the problem tremendously.

i can't believe that in 27 pages nobody has thought to mention that MMOs are a service. and the customers either:

A) want an expanded macro system.
or
B) are onionknight


that's really all that matters. every day i care a little less about SEs vision for the game and a little more about MY vision for the game, and in MY vision i don't need to hit 6 buttons to cast a spell.

you could call this selfish but at the end of the day i'm PAYING for this. don't i have a right to ask for things? better macros are a simple playability upgrade. it's not game breaking in any aspect...

Um...... I was actually in agreement with the topic >.>;; I never said I GS was cheating. And i don't Brag. All I asked is to not be insulted for how I play. Also, if no oned cares.. then inuslting me was pointless. As for the MUD comment, MUD are text based mmo. And heavily make use of macro scipts. Like making an attack macro, then making a chain macro of said macro. What you guys are asking for is a streamlined comand that can't work as the sever will not be able to read and excute it. aka /equip hand "item" ONLY works as a singular line.
Thats why suggested my suggestion. Having a equipment book would fix the issue. All you would need to do is set up the gear you need, then use the command in the macro. that is a full set of gear under a single command. And here is the thing, FFXIV is getting something similar as my suggestion. So technically SE alread has basic code work for it, just need to tweek it for ffxi and has a text comand for it.
