Down with Gear Swapping!

[Neika]

I use <stal> because then I can easily cure my alliance without having to tab around. I will admit i was kinda iffy about it at first cause I was used to my <t> macs, but I played my boyfriends rdm which had <stal> macs, and right after I went though my macs and changed them all lol. It not only works for gear-swappers, but also for easy curing

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.

QUOTE= Gnoir;51298 ] I am not sure where you are going with this either.. This post is a waste of my time and I am not going to bother with it.

This should have ended this thread.

Edit: You can all see how much I post lol first time trying to use a quote, gotta love epic fails[ /QUOTE]


thats what a quote looks like[/QUOTE]

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.

as a WHM when I leveled it I had a diffrent macro for each of my PT members for cure, so I have 6 macros just for cure.

and really? you dont have to make macros for everything, just the important stuff that needs to be cast ASAP, like cure, and provke

Ah why if it's Kailea, i should have known you would find me sooner or later.

You make my point for me. Having to make 6 different macros just for just a cure so you can avoid an annoying deisign flaw says it all. And that's not even taking into the account the constant stream of annoying useless yellow spam that will flood your combat log as a result.

The system needs work, and the fact you are willing to write a million pointless macros doesn't change this fact.

And no, you would have to write one for everything you do if you want to avoid the target cancellation effect, not just things you need to cast ASAP.

[Dale]

O.o; whats so hard with adding <stal>? you dont need to make seperate macros at all. if you're gonna complain about gear swappers then whine about "making macros with <stpt/al> " why the hell are you complaining in the first place?

It's a flawed annoying system. Not only does it supposedly force you into creating macros you would not otherwise need to create - but it floods your battle log with useless annoying spam.

It needs to change. Stop trying to to turn this into a "we aren't lazy and make macros" vs "you are lazy and don't make macros" discussion. It's silly how you are trying to frame this debate.

Just admit the system is flawed and needs some work.

I had a big multi paragraph response ready for something like that then i realized i genuinely didnt give a flying crap.

As you were.

As a career dnc and pld every cure macro i have already has <stpt> in it for ease of targeting. I use the macro then use the F# 1-6 keys to target my pt without tabbing around and I only need CW 1-5 and HW as <st> macros, this way I don't have to macro for every person while trying to remember which one hits who. It's pretty easy, I just don't see any harm in having the option to turn off .dat swaps during gear changes. If that option were there from the start this thread wouldn't exist at all.

First off, I found you? I dont even know who you are -.- and second, this was my macro setup before <stpt>, and what is wrong with 6 cure macros, I can tell you that as a healer I could get cures out as fast as possible with that setup.

what junk are you talking about, having a cure macro places nothing into the chat window, unless your adding some stupid /p message or emote line

They're one of those people who don't know how to use chat filter and always wonder why they miss in a stun order because they didn't see the monster ready a JA. And everyone says wtf yo how you miss that your stun timer was up.

I really don't have anything to contribute to this thread because it's most likely a troll thread. I just wanted to say some of your sigs are freaking crazy lol
