New Unreal is a an all around miserable experience.

that's why a macro is useful. It shows you positions

Useful for what? So the person complains that they can't be M1 because they only know how to do M2 when the only difference between those two is if you go to the southeast or southwest.

There are cases where people aren't familiar enough with fights to be switching spots much which happens, in which case people can adapt around it where possible which is kinda the point of being able to designate these positions before fighting. Having stuff like 4 people deliberately running into "M1"'s position is impossible when you have a macro because everyone else will have a designated spot too, and if they wanna all just ignore eachother and say "Nah I'm going west idc" It's just creating pointless conflict and the boss doesn't even have to lift a finger to make your party disband.

The fights should be against the boss, not amongst yourselves in party chat.

because a macro shows position and they can use it to check.
then again, NA don't use macros do they.
so how would you know how useful they are.

Not all. We refer to some like Barb's cleaves as telegraphing with their animations. Not all refer to the aoe indicators on the ground.

well, Her P1 are mostly telegraphs xD
if you act to the marker, you're probably dead

Whoever complains about not getting their favorite position can leave. They either reserve the M2 role first or they suck it up and do the other role. The party strat doesn't revolve around these princesses.

Never seen anybody do that. People use take whatever role. If they have super strong preferences, they nicely ask the favour to be a certain one, which is no problem to fix, but in general everybody just takes whatever and adjusts without further comments. People are way more flexible than you make them out to be,
