I really appreciate how there's all this talk about Japanese players being so amazing at frontline because they follow macros, meanwhile the real problem on NA is that our frontliner 'Commanders' come in two flavors. Those would be Information shared for the support of intelligent play, and 'Look at me I'm important listen to me <se.11>!!!'. The post is really about the second person here. The ego monster is a big issue in our side of the community. There was a CC post a while back about the desire for txt chat, but the reasoning was "So I can command my teammates." and that is why we can't have nice things. Not only is it unhelpful to spam the exact same text macro 20 times as quick as you can but it causes large amounts of people to ignore or blacklist you which then divides the group even more. Imagine trying to talk over people IRL and punctuating this with an air horn. enough said.
