I would like to see no delay in macro speed within the global cooldown. I want to save space on my ps4 x-hotbars, but at the same time be able to have macros for my brd still output max dps for such things as coils. Thank you.

Macros have built in delay for a variety of reasons (netcoding). If you are serious about your play, do not macro any GCD skills at all when playing as DPS. Your numbers will tank when using a macro, you can ALWAYS manually perform the skills faster than any macro ever.
The only reason macros times are slower than manual is because you cannot lined up GCD (2.x seconds) with macros <wait.x> command. The wait command only honours seconds and all decimal seconds are rounded. Thus, your actions takes 3 seconds, instead of 2.4 seconds manually.
This was done intentionally because the devs want people manually to play the game, not provide a fully functional programming system within the game to make it easier for the bots.
Of course, this decision only hurts real players because anyone building a bot would just use more lines of code in their external program which interfaces with computer controls (keyboard and mouse pointers) with all the timings, etc... Just look at all the gathering and RMT bots everywhere.
I wish mining/harvesting was an action, and not a selection, which I could macro. Push one button and swing x times. Like I said, these decisions revolving around macros only hurt real players and do nothing to imped the bots.
