so I got kicked today for...

Unless you are on an official RP server.

How does that work with DF though?

I think its extremely annoying when people tie macros to things that aren't important. I know you want to RP your character, but I don't RP and I don't want my chat box flooded with it. I need to look out for important things, healer and tank macros, party chat etc.

I wouldn't ever kick someone over it, I think that's taking it too far, but those types of macros drive me nuts too.

No clue, I do not RP and I only communicate when I have something important to contribute (Example: "I am out of mp, but feel free to pull the entire room.")

I don't really have an issue with macros so long as they are few and far in between. it's only when people put them in commonly used abilites/spells that they tend to get annoying. such as putting them into a cure macro, obviously as a healer you're going to be spamming that, so you'll get annoying very quickly. I don't know about kicking someone over it. DF sessions do not last long enough to hit my nerves nor have i met any massive RP macro users, granted their have been some hardcore ones, but i tolerated them for the duration.

Hell i'v even RPed in certain times, but they are in quiet, theme looking ways, never macros. You can RP silently. unless you are desperate to catch attention.

moot point as there's no official RP server.

Macros are the best, and people spam parses all the time, if they get kicked for "macros" they should also get kicked (and I think banned.) for using parses.

Its not even role-play, its flavor.. I wish we had text boxes.

and people spam parses all the time

Y'know, I've never seen someone do that. Which is weird when you consider how blatantly it breaks the ToS to admit to using a parser in-game. I'd think people would want to shout it from the rooftops as opposed to quietly keeping it to themselves and to their voice chat.

All the time you say?

I've never seen it either. The only time i've seen parse spam is when it's specifically asked for, and even then most people will post it in TS rather than in-game

i think unless you know the group your playing with don't use macros.
the only macros i use in parties with those i don't know are
Raise macro
Virus.
Hallowed ground
a LARGE macro that displays all of my recast times for tank (only used in long farm parties where i need to use a bunch of abilities)
annnd ... a limit brake macro (which is a quote from gabranth from Dissidia when he did a EX BURST) and since LB's are once a fight (two in very long fights) then its just a small thing that is rearly seen.
abilities like Mudra shouldn't use a macro, that dose annoy me when there is spam every 4 seconds or ALION EDGE (someone had that and i got to know when he did every single combo=3=) complete with <se.noise>

so like i said flavour text is fine if it is on skills that are important aka rasiing or skills that can warn others not to waste theres, eye for an eye and virus. (to that guy i saw eariler who said 'you can see the effect' no you can't not when your busy dealing with mechanics.)

but if it is a party you don't know, avoid the 'spammy' flavour text.

I get annoyed by those macros tbh and could do w/o them being spammed by ppl for every single freaking skill they use.
