Evidence that Macros Do NOT Cause GCD Delay or Lost Casts

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

I'd be curious to see someone attempting some regular level 90 content with macros just to see how bad it really is, or isn't. I always hear "oh, it's awful, you'll have terrible DPS, you'll make the dungeon take forever" but I have to wonder, if you're a terrible player anyways, is programming a good rotation with macros going to be worse than your normal bad play?

Anecdotal, but tried before.

Obviously it won't be as good as not relying on macros. But using macros while dealing with the finnicky limitation they have built into the system still let me do more than your average DF folks in daily roulettes. Runs are still noticeable slower, but it's nothing like "you'll make dungeon take forever."

In the end, being present to actually press buttons still matters more in these cases. Macros won't help if people are running from point X to Y to dodge Z without pressing anything, which is one of the most common reason why some players performs underwhelmingly.
