Were you asked to stop using the macro at least once before being told to stop using it?

Macros at the start of a dungeon or between pulls? Sure, I've seen a lot of funny ones that can add a bit of humor to a run.

Silly/RP macros for abilities that need to be broadcasted to the party (Raise, Provoke, Virus, Hallowed Ground, etc.)? No problem there either; those are things that the healers/tanks need to know about.

Macros attached to random abilities that the rest of the party doesn't need to know you're doing? Keep those to when you're running with friends, please. I'd be annoyed too if I got stuck in an instance with someone who did that.

Here why: If a GM contacts him or takes any action against his account, he will know that he was reported and that this was the consequence. If that DOESN'T happen though, then he'll know he was reported and there was no consequence to that action.

I'm sure you can see the implication here. If the guy knows he can be a jerk to random people without fear of consequences, he's only going to get worse. If someone needs to be reported, report them. But don't tell them you did that.

As for my personal opinion, I find non-informative macros to be kind of annoying. It drowns out what might be actual relevant party chat. I wouldn't kick you for it, but you'd probably lose my commendation. If it got really disruptive, I'd ask you to stop.

No offence, but it wasn't smart to report him because he can retaliate now and harrass u further if he discovers he won't get punished badly.

That's exactly what I said.

Op, teach these tanks and "elite" players they have no right to control you. ;) keep doing your macros please :)

Unless it's being spammed with every attack, I don't really care about people adding flavor to their attacks. I could understand if you're learning a dungeon or something and they want the chat open for communication, but for the most part I don't really see a problem with it. I've been in a few groups where everyone chats and talks, but for the most part, it's silence. I keep FC and party chat in separate windows myself, so it doesn't get too crowded. But humans tend to get annoyed over the most asinine things, so it doesn't surprise me that someone gets angry over this. Sounded like he was less bothered by the actual text than he was by the fact that it Naruto-like. To me, that just makes him a jerk because it's not really a valid reason to kick someone.
lo

He was doing gods work

Justified kick, imo.
Whenever I see those goddamn ***** with their weeabo anime macros, they're getting kicked, no exceptions.

Gawd they're annoying.

>_> I left a party (I was healer that time) because one DPS keeped using stupid macros WITH Annoying sounds every 5-10seconds!
I said multiple time "please stop" that guy didnt I left dungeon and did something else <.<
