    If it works just like the GW2 setup (which I am very familiar with) then yes, you can macro them. Just... through other means.

    It would be nice if somehow these can be worked into macros, preferably with in-game means. I know Anet made an official statement confirming they were OK with the use of out-side macro programs for the sole purpose of music playing, but I can't imagine SE would do the same. Time will tell

    I'd imagine SE would be fine with it since, like in GW2, it wouldn't impact gameplay or offer anything advantageous. Which is the reason why Anet was okay with it. Things like AutoHotKey are harmless when used in that fashion and do nothing that would negatively impact the game. If they turn their heads away from parsers they'd likely do the same here. Long as people don't bring it up ingame and harass people about it.

    Either way, I'm looking forward to this feature. Official stance or not. I agree with having an ingame way to macro would be nicer though.

    True. Perhaps this could go the way of Windower and parsers....don't ask/don't tell and all will be well

    I must say, SE's approach for these things seems to be "Don't be a dick with them and you'll be fine." - like for example if you use any of the tools to harass someone, then you'll be in trouble, but just for example using the parser for your own personal development, yeah you're not being a dick about it, you're fine.

    As I'm sure you are well aware, it takes more than one person to be able to kick a player from a duty, so in all those instances there were at least two people agreeing they'd be better off without you tanking.
