    That does not make the macro report-worthy or toxic. It's just not optimal for YOU. Have you ever heard of auditory learners? Some people want to use their eyes and look at enemies and prepare their LB or burst instead of looking at the chat log for 5 4 3 2 1.

    Reporting things that don't work for you but work for others, and calling it toxic and moronic is the epitome of toxic casualism.

    The universe doesn't adjust to you. Frontline veterans use these macros because they work more often than not.

    spam is spam and it is not just me: it’s annoying to a lot of people. Usually the matches where it has been problematic, many complained. Why not try to find a solution that achieves the intended goal just the same without the spam. Maybe more people would follow directives too.

    This is not about casualism so stop with this bs.

    its not spam if its being used as the chat box is intended, to help coordinate and inform the instance party of the current goal, mechanics, and strat, its directly being used as intended..
    when you join a party the chat is there for that content..

    when it comes to frontline, the team that uses the markers, the players that coordinate and mark, the players taht go the extra mile to play as a TEAM, thats the grp that wins..
    time and time again i see people unwilling to do anything but spam "KILL MAEL" in /a, then no one pays attention, they all spread and end up free points for the enemy..

    you should be thanking the people willing to help, not reporting them.

    The game already gives the the ability to hide the chat and mute the sounds, YOU refuse to do it , why? is it because you are just feigning offended for attention? are you just playing victim so you can win some pity points? because lord knows your definitely not nearly as annoyed as your pretending to be if you are willing to just stubbornly suffer it all for some childish demand of a "better solution"
    heres an ideal, stay out of grp content, then the chat can be exclusively for your casual fc chat or weird RP fantasys..

    this isnt about a fix, that already exists, this is about not understating the need for something and playing victim because of it. as noum said, its a case of toxic casualism, its a childish fit because you didnt get your way.

    I don't think I've ever seen anyone complain when someone leads that well in a FL (using sfx macros). More of the opposite, most people praise them for doing it.
    I'm not denying that it can be annoying for some people but to say "it’s annoying to a lot of people. Usually the matches where it has been problematic, many complained" has most definitely not been my experience. I don't think I've ever seen someone complain about it actually now that I think of it.....

    To be fair, the sounds option should be updated. Pretty sure you can't only turn off the sfx macros but have to turn off all other player audio to achieve that. Unless they updated it at some point and I wasn't aware.

    Which made me question the OP: what sort of 'macros' were being spammed?

    It's not a thing and it's not sticking, no matter how many of your 2023 alts try to make it happen.

    Uhhhh. Completely independent of the subject matter in this thread and however many alts a person does or does not have, toxic casualism is actually a thing. And it has been killing games off for a while now, my dude.
