macros: bad for DPS?

[saeedaisspecial]

That being said, the myth that macro'ing destroys your DPS makes me chuckle. When my PC was being shipped to Hong Kong while I emigrated, I spent three months stuck on a PS3 controller, and given my main is a Dragoon, had little choice but to macro. Often, I am the only Dragoon alive throughout the entire fight, almost certainly because the others are too busy looking at their toolbars and worrying about which button to press next.

Dead DPS don't DPS. Particularly prudent when you're stuck with 300 mdef in a game of spell-spewing bosses.

"Bad players die therefore I'm right because I'm playing bad too."
Macros ruin your DPS, it's a fact. Saying "Well they help me not die!" is silly, because you're pretty much admitting your inability to play properly.

Also the fact that you think playing on a controller means macros are necessary is just wrong.
