Is it possible to offend someone...with a macro?

[Archaell]

The healer is not responsible for idiots staying in AOEs or people not using their CDs. They are also not responsible for your supposed lag or saving your ass from whatever trash you do. Healers are not responsible for people not knowing their skills and not following game mechanics. Or in short: healers are not your personal servants..

Sorry to burst your bubble. Yes, we all derp and I am not saying it is never the healer's fault. After all, the challenge of keeping the party in shape in all situations is (at least for me) part of why I love being a healer.

Read my post again. I am talking about silly macros when it's the healer fault. Talking about healers who have some psychological issues with keeping people alive based on their mood is entirely different topic.

As for the macros, unlike a 5 sec Pacification macro, raise macros are actually useful:
- making people aware they are being raised
- saving mp for the other healer/a summoner by avoiding double raises on the same person
- making the party aware that for a few seconds, they might to watch themselves

That starts and ends with /p raising <t>. Anything else after it is not serving the points above.

I think you should read my post again as well. I am not talking about psychological issues at all. All I meant to say is: you are liability to the group with the way your play? It's not the healers responsibility to pull you through.

I am not saying it has to be an elaborate macro and yes, for the purposes a simple raising would be sufficient. But hey, all to make the healers servants that can't have fun in the game, eh?

I am absolutely fine with witty and funny macros. I don't like many of the ones I see around but if I have a healer that actually is at faultfor letting the party die (yes, there are plenty of those), the last thing I am bothered with is their raise macro. I'll be too voting to kick them.
