Do folks actually believe spamming macros is useful in Frontlines?

[Edelgarde]

There's a reason this rarely if ever happens on JP when someone is commanding and it's because EVERYONE actually follows macro play.

Mhm. This is a good example what happens when you don't have a commander because they actually get you into proper position. With a commander, it will be
'Gather together on way mark' They'll be almost right behind Maelstorm while Maelstorm has their attention on Adders still.
'Burst shot, get ready!'
'Focus Maelstorm'
'Countdown 3,2,1'
'Full assault!'

Half of Maelstorm would be dead since they cannot retreat, and then that's when they immediately retreat after stealing points and ramping up more battle high.
