Down with Gear Swapping!

[Rambus]

Yes but there is a big difference in not using macros at all and then having to use them for everything - even the most simplest action only so you can stick a <stal> or w/e command at the end of it just to avoid having your target canceled every few seconds.

Point is the system is clunky and not very user-friendly. It needs a lot of work. IMHO, it's probably the game's worst design feature, and if i could name one thing to fix, it would be this.

it is really an easy fix, make gear that replaces more gear.

like how SE made SCH emp+2 pants, all that did was make more macro and inv -1

No i wasn't endorsing any particular solution.

I was just pointing out i don't think the presense of this <stal> command fixes the problems, as expecting everyone to have to make a seperate macro for every command they do just to avoid having their target suddenly canceled in the middle of the fight is unreasonable to put it mildly.

Square needs to pay this design flaw some attention, and either make it more user-friendly or scrap it all together. That's kind of what i'm saying.

I was making a statement how to fix the need of needing macros.

say in my SCh exmaple if you had sch +2 pants give Enhances "Light Arts" effect, INT+11, MND +11 MAB +3, dark magic +10

you would not need to macro out pants.

though getting macro gear is what FFXI is based on and be a lot less to do if that takes place.

This should have ended this thread.

Oh don't worry about your problems using that silly [quote] thing. I have the same issues, which is why I hate it when people divide up my quotes and reply them in sections lol

Anyway, I understand what you are saying. An interesting idea, though it might cause certain gear pieces to become too powerful. In any case, it's better than having my target constantly flashing on and off, or me having to add a thousand new macros just so i can add some silly <stal> thing.
