New "Macro Strings", Macro's Reborn!

[Keyln]

While we can see the plus sides of the suggestion, there are some pitfalls involved as well. Being able to string together multiple macros would put too much of an emphasis on automation and that is a direction that the development team does not want to move toward.

Though I can’t promise a specific date, the development team is looking into UI and macro revamps for the future.

I would like to point out that it isn't automatic macros necessarily that most people want, but the ability to swap gear in and out with a single button press. The way it is now is a big problem.

For example, when I play Summoner, when I use a Blood Pact, I have to press three buttons. The first button is to activate my Blood Pact, as well as swap in my Blood Pact Delay - gear, then I press a second button to swap in my avatar magic optimization/physical optimization/summoning magic optimization gear, and then I need to press a third button to swap in my avatar perpetuation optimization set (No perpetuation cost kupo!).

In short, I need to press three buttons to do one job. If I can limit to one button, that'd be great.

/Agreed, This is in essence the basis of my proposed concept in a nutshell. Granted, I opted for even more power with group strings which would pull in up to 3 macros at once per macro line ^^; but the request is the same overall. Pressing "One" macro to handle a complete gear swap would be ideal.

I pray that whatever the revamped Macro UI comes out to be, it answers, at the very least, this request.

Thanks for the feedback /
