[Suggestion] Consolidating Equip Macros

[Jackstin]

Spellcast and windower macros are cheating, as the DEVs say they are cheating, there is no arguing this. I am simply pointing out that you're a hypocrite and should not be taken seriously. And unless you never lot anything, you are knowingly benefiting from a bunch of 'cheaters' as you call them, while not putting your own account at risk and then badmouthing them here. I find this act appalling and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Ask yourself this. Why are you attacking me? If you have no issue with what I am saying then making things personal is outrageous. Even if you question the manner in which I have put forward my argument, which I could understand, resorting to a personal attack is a horrible thing to do.

I also don't think it is outrageous to be part of an LS with friends who use spellcast when I am against it. As it happens I have accomplished nearly everything I want in game, and as a result I really do very rarely lot anything. Not to say that has never happened, but what you are saying I should do, to avoid hypocrisy is either leave the LS with my friends, or stay in the LS but refuse to earn anything whilst playing the game. That would be like asking someone who is against torture, to never use roads, hospitals, or get a job in the US, simply because the Us government (and many others) routinely tortures people. Are you against torture?

EDIT: Sorry for not responding to your post Cid, I wad focusing more on the person who was personally attacking me. Give me a minute and I'll respond tomyour point.

Crack dealers are scumbags. I don't sell crack, but all my friends sell crack. No banks were around, so I got the money to buy a house from my crack dealer friends. It was unavoidable, because I had to have a house. I'm totally not a hypocrite.

See how silly this sounds? Now lets get back to talking about how we can fix the problem through the legit client and stop focusing on what we think about third party tools. If we get things changed, everybody wins.

Okay so at the moment with vanilla, you can either equip midcast equipment, but are limited in the number of pieces you can swap out, or you can create a dedicated gearswap macro or two and time them well. Spellcast converts this all in to just one macro. This to me, is automation.

I don't think its perfect. Maybe it would be better if you could create a full gear swap macro but still have to select abilities separately. Or even simpler than that, just increase the number of macro slots. But I'd prefer to play a game where there is some element of skill in gear swaps. You may say that's good for me, and let you play your way. But as I've said, your way affects me, and it is against the rules. Why should I be at a disadvantage for adhering to the rules?

I think that is vastly exaggerating how much I benefit from my crack dealer friends. A better analogy would be, all my friends are crack dealers, I tell them crack is wrong but I still hang our with them because they are my friends. If I drive them somewhere they give me petrol money.

EDIT: and I am still appauled that people have the resorted to personal attacks instead of attacking the argument they disagree with.

A better question would be: Why should the rules put you at a disadvantage to begin with?

Rules only put people at a disadvantage to people who flaunt them. No cheating? no disadvantage.

Why? Their last reply in this thread says that they do not support that level of automation.

You confuse multiple gear swaps with automation and botting. SE never said they support it, nor do people want it. They just want more of the same: macro lines. It's the same level of automation as it is now.

Now I know there are some serious UI issues, but breaking the core rules of the game is not UI. It is thinking you are above the the creators vision.

I do firmly believe that. I believe that the creators of this game are completely inept at designing an efficient MMORPG.

Rules only put people at a disadvantage to people who flaunt them. No cheating? no disadvantage.

Better rules? Disable cheating. But that doesn't seem to occur to SE (or you), further supporting my statement above.

So your still benefiting from crack sales, when you should be making new friends and putting in more time at the office.

This is what your argument looks like to me. Sure, selling crack is bad, and people who do it are scum, but when you hang out with them, and help them do it, and benefit from their selling of crack, you're just as guilty as they are. Thats why people who drive the getaway car and dont help commit the crime are still charged with the crime. Now get off your high horse, you're nothing special and have no right to lecture anyone about morals or call them bad for cheating like you have been.

This sums it up nicely.

And again! You are saying you agreenwith my sentiments, but insist on attacking me personally? Why? Reported.

And now I know how ignored. By ALL means disagree with me. But just because you are anonymous on the internet does not give you license to come after me personally. I am not a hypocrite, but if I was the biggest hypocrite in the world it would be nothing to do with you, or to do with my argument. At first I thought you were just trying to use a fallacy to distract from the argument, but as it turns out you agreed and just wanted to be spiteful.
