Square Enix, please think about both Casual AND Hardcore crafters..

Sounds to me that if they eliminate the macros from the game, that would make crafting hard for people?

Nah, that would make people look for third-party apps. Macros are fine.

I absolutely disagree with that. That is not true, whatsoever. As someone who has crafted during those patches, using macros for end game crafts will almost guarantee that you NQ it. You had to manual craft it, and think carefully about the choices you make.

HW was 100% macroable, you just needed high CP melds.

@OP: Wait until 5.1, the Ishgarde rebuilding patch is going to have a 'leaderboard'.
