    Right, it's not a huge game-breaking problem but it is an inconvenience that could be (fairly) easily fixed. I like having my macros organized and I have no idea how many classes we're going to be getting. Because of that it's hard to keep them organized without thinking that someday down the line I'll have to probably move a bunch down a line or over and that involves rewriting each and every macro that needs to be moved.

    So far I've gotten by on 1 gear macro and 1 skill macro for each class but those only cover the basic needs. Especially for skills, my macros only cover 1-5 on bars 1 and 2. I have a separate macro for bar 3 but I tend to keep universal skills there. These problems are mostly the result of only allowing 10 lines per macro slot.

    Not only that but as you move through the ranks you have to go back and manually edit each macro to reflect any new skills you've received. Also if you want to change your bars around you have to go and edit the entire thing.

    The current system is tolerable but it honestly has the potential to be much better. Sure it's a luxury feature but the little things you deal with constantly make a big difference in the long run.

    This in a nutshell describes not only this minor annoyance but many others. Having the little things conveniently organized into sensible and efficient systems makes a great many other things tolerable even if they're not quite perfect. You have a lot less patience to spread around when most of it is consumed by a myriad of little things that aren't necessary in the first place.
