More macro books!

[Mathieu]

Aside from the fact that (in part) it doesnt matter what you feel, it matters what your player base feels, How about this?

Most of the player base doesn't care. At best, they aren't actively opposed to it, but they aren't going to lose sleep about it either way.

System currently has 20 books, with 10 pages in each book. So take one page off each book. Well find a way to survive with only 9 pages.
That gives you 20 extra pages. Make 2 more books with 9-10 pages each.
Now we have 22 book, and the total macro number stays the same. That gives players what they are asking for. And it fits completely in with you counter argument.

This suggestion on the other hand would upset some people. Anyone that uses all 10 pages on a macro gets screwed because other people need an even number of macro books solely for its own sake.

When it comes down to it, that's worse because you would be removing functionality to fix an issue that can legitimately be fixed by the handful of players that have this issue. The macro books are stored client side outside what you back up on the server. You can have as many as you want just by cut and pasting in sets of 20.
