Can we take action against Bard Macro Player yet?

I think your problem is you think that there is some competition, there is nothing to gain from it other than what you make of it.

I guess I don't see why its all of a sudden "not fun" to you because of these player people. You seem like your mad because you cant strut your musical talent.

To be honest, performance is my content. I've stopped raiding, I've stopped trying to gear up and play alts, I don't care to explore or anything, I'm very very much invested into performance. I basically login to ffxiv, to play with the performance system. That is 90% of what I spend my time doing in-game. Probably even at unhealthy amounts for how much time I do dedicate to learning new songs. I even have friends that have stopped asking me to do roulettes, level up characters, raid, and such because I was too busy learning to play with the performance system.

I do strive to keep improving because it is important to me. It's what makes me happy at the end of the day. It's not so much as if I'm mad that third party users "exist" when it comes to performance. I get mad when someone out of random walks up to me while I perform, and they want to join in and is basically:


>Presses the play button
"You hear that? Yeah I did that mate, I'm so good!"


That is what drives me mental.


I know a lot of people in this thread is like "You can't prove they are using macros unless...", Come on... Let's be real, it's PAINFULLY obvious. And when I do mention something, I do not accuse them of using macros, even though I know they are. I just simply state "I don't use macros". and 99% of the time it's the same response of them admitting that they are using macros, and there was this 1% where someone told me they don't either, but hooked up a midi keyboard (piano), instead, which like I said, I would be more okay with.


To some, your "content" or "progression", is raiding, or getting your crafters on, and etc.


To me it's performance. I'm very much invested in it. That's my drive to play the game, so yes, It does kill my fun when someone can "cheat" to do it better.
