[Suggestion] Consolidating Equip Macros

[cidbahamut]

A troll is not someone who disagrees with you, and your thread didn't seem to serve a point, only to chicken little over something that has been the case for years.

It's a serious flaw in the game's design that has been in desperate need of attention for years. Just because something is the status quo does not mean that it is in any way an acceptable state of affairs.

The continued point is that if it's not fixed by now, then it's most likely never going to see a change, however as I mentioned above, they said the same thing week in, week out about the 75 cap, and now here we are using Convert on Summoner, and casting Refresh on Black Mage.

The problem is that players seem to think that harping on about the same issue again and again will change something, when all it needs is one thread and one post, and it's noted. Droning on and on about it just winds yourselves up.

So you're advocating complacency in the face of the developers blatantly ignoring critical issues that the playerbase brings to their attention?

I wouldn't be surprised if that was their reasoning, seeing as how their reasoning is almost always wrong. They don't seem to realize that it still happens, only it forces people press three macros instead of one.

You know, SE can be so ostrich-like at times, it's not funny.

You can't seriously tell us you don't know that a large number , possibly the majority by now, of PC players use the universally-known third-party add-on that makes swapping entire gear for every attack possible using a single key; many use it just for a decent macro capability, not the pseudo-botting it also allows.

Yet you stubbornly refuse to accept this fact and provide an official means of doing this for the minority (I expect) of PC players who don't want to cheat and those playing on consoles where such cheating isn't allowed.

Personally I don't need that capability but it would be nice to have for occasional use, but I also recognise that many people think is absolutely required for tackling the high-end end-game content. The fact vast numbers have that because they're willing to cheat isn't fair to the rest who aren't; even FFXIV has a more usable macro system, how about even implementing THAT???

No, how are you continually not getting this. They get the point, stop rattling on about it, as it's not going to help you.

The devs and community reps are not going to come out of the wood works to wet your panties and say, "Oh dearest OnionKnight! You doth well in the dearth of compliments for mine ruling. I thank you, oh fair and noble knight!"

They also aren't going to come out of the woodwork and yield to your incessant trolling by going OK OK STOP PLEASE HERE HAVE 200 LINES PER MACRO JUST PLEASE STOP TYPING INSULTS TO PEOPLE IN A TEXT BASED CHAT ON AN ONLINE FORUM! PLEAAAASE!

To this day I will never understand why unless people are raging up against the bit for whatever issue is mentioned in the OP, they are considered White Knights. Me not agreeing, or not going along with your droning is all part of the process of forum debate. This is a fan forum, why do you people seem to want to hate so much? Surely we should just be happy that enough of us exist to keep this game running based on our want to play it, but no, im sure im going to get that quoted and taken out of context too, because it's so much more fun to try to antagonise each other than it is to find common ground and discuss what we all want to do, see, and have done to the game to improve it, without it diverting into moron rugby.

Right, now that us 2 total strangers have had that out over this medium, anyone want to get back on track and continue pointlessly complaining about an issue we already have a CS response on pages back? No? More sarcastic attempts to wind me up then?

So to answer my question: yes.
