I play solely with keyboard and I have no trouble at all? Use the number pad for all motion and use j,k,l,i; to move the camera around. Use the number keys for action bar and use w,a,s,d; for when you need to move while performing an action. Use the up and down arrows for menus. Why do people have problems with the keyboard? The controls are really fluid imo.

Of course, saving per spell setting would be the best. If not, I rather have AoE mode to default to off for every cast.

Thank you, I wasn't aware of this

/aoe on
/wait 1
/ac "Cure" <me>
/wait 1
/aoe off // after you cast spell even if you press aoe off it still will be aoe on //
____________________________________
/aoe of
/wait 1
/ac "stone" <t>
/wait 1
/aoe on
______________________-
or just use the aoe macro
/aoe (( // on > off or off > on // ))

Seems to me that macros were only put in in this game to make up for poor and sloppy UI design. Not enough action slots? MACROS! No good way to control AoE for each spell? MACROS! Actions not saved per job? MACROS!

A dumb justification only makes the issue even dumber.

macros.... it's not a good way to solve this problem and still annoying

Allow us to put in our bars the two versions of the spells, aoe and non-aoe, and give decent actions bars?

I kind of prefer the AOE on/off to be a one-hit button. O_O

I would just prefer if each spell was either aoe or not aoe, like in FFXI. Like Fire vs. Firaga.
It's tiring and time consuming to be hitting macros or typing /aoe on/off all the time, while I could be using that time casting.
As things are I have to have 2 macros, one to turn aoe off and one to turn it on. I can't just put it into the spell macro because sometimes I may want an aoe elemental spell and sometimes I want single target.
Sometimes it just becomes more trouble than it's worth and I just stick to /aoe off, but because of that I feel I can't reach my full potential.
