Ah, the compliments for "doing a good job" by the great community in DF leveling dungeons? I'm sure our wonderful playerbase wouldn't just be saying that to encourage you to stick with tanking, rather than you actually doing a good job.

It's not like I've heard these empty compliments before. Like, say, to that SAM in Sirensong Sea who had level 50 gear and would be 1 shotted by any unavoidable mechanic, who was told they were doing fine, it was okay, through the entire dungeon. Surely that made it okay. Or the quite a number of cure 1 white mage's I kept getting, specially around Bardam's, who just couldn't keep up, who were told they were doing fine and great, even when we'd die, because they're doing healing, it's clearly not something they're doing wrong.

Heck a friend I got into the game this year told me about some confusion he had while leveling monk and samurai. He'd get frustrated and just do something else, but still be in the dungeon (so, leeching, something I scolded him on), but despite that, would receive compliments and commendations anyways. Literally. Doing. Nothing. Get. Compliment. Course, he could just be talking out of his bum, but given what I've seen (I've had plenty of leech defenders in my time), I wouldn't be too shocked.

So, no, the compliments don't make the macro's perfectly fine. You're still gimping yourself by using them on 99% of skills (The only skills they really do well on are tether buffs like dragon sight, and ground placers like salted earth, due to multiple clicks to use).
