    So can simple DOS commands, but that's just grasping for straws.

    It's an actual programming language (C++ was probably mentioned just because it's generic). What the OP essentially wants is for macros to have conditional control and he, probably unknowingly, is basically trying to write a computer program.

    I'm a junior in computer science right now (by no means an expert), and looking back to some 7 years ago I can see that FFXI macros were sort of my first introduction to programming. It's hardly the same thing, but macros do at least open up the concept in your mind. It's one example where FFXI has actually seemed to have a positive impact on my life.

    tl;dr If you're good at/enjoy making macros, start playing with some actual programming languages.
