Add icons to macro buttons?

If it were optional, and user definiable I wouldn't have a problem with it. But we all know that's not how they would implement it.

The mouse is a wonderful tool and provides precision accuracy that simply isn't possible with a controller or keyboard.

Precision and accuracy are two different concepts. Not that i'm disagreeing or anything.

Also peeps: Just because anyone can learn any kind of control scheme if given enough time, it doesn't mean it's an intuitive control scheme.

Thank you! I've been trying to tell people that for ages, but no one ever seems to understand.

Why not? Have you played FFXIV? The icons for user-created macros are optional and user-definable there, so I see no reason why it wouldn't work in a similar manner if implemented into FFXI. Seriously, have a little more faith in SE. I know a lot of their decisions make them seem incompetent sometimes, but they're really not as bad as you think.

Er.... it kind of depends on the context. I suppose they could mean different things in certain contexts, but I was kinda using them to mean the same thing. Though on the other hand, I'm having difficulty imagining a scenario where the two words wouldn't be synonymous. Perhaps you could provide a little more insight into what you mean?

Well considering they can only go up in my opinion of them, perhaps you are right.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_and_precision

Accuracy refers to correctness, whereas precision refers to repeatability. For example if you repeat an experiment and get pretty close to the same number every time, you'd say that your numbers are precise. If you do an experiment and your numbers match the predicted value to lots of decimal places then your numbers would be considered accurate.

(at least I'm pretty sure that's what they mean)
