New macro icons, these are nice but they're still not what I need!

Would be even better if the system could simply predict the kind of icon you'd want to use based on the commands. e.g. if it has a command for thundara in it, then it would automatically use the icon for that.

uhhh what about more macros to put the icons on

In WoW, dragging an icon from the skill book onto the macro text field automatically inputs the text command to use that skill and puts that skill's icon as the macro icon. Similarly, dragging a piece of gear into the macro text field automatically inputs the text command for equipping that item. The same goes for using consumable items as well.

Hoping FFXIV has similar functionality.

I'm Hoping FFXIV comes up with something better.

On a side note, should not Manequins be able to handle the wardrobe issues?

You may be saying, “but Rukkirii, this will make macros hard to find if you add too many… *sadface*”.
Have no fear, my friends! We are also working on developing an icon search function along with the increase of more icons. Hooray!

We will be trying our hardest to have these completed for the launch of 2.0. :)

That would be interesting though it would be nice if we could manual override it as well.

I hope "icon search" is some kind of mistranslation. Surely it'd be easier to break things up into different item categories that you can browse by or the like? I'm not even sure how a "search" would work.
