No idea what you're trying to imply here. Trying to have fun? Yes. Trying to enjoy the game and keep it light hearted? Yes. Trying to see a more positive atmosphere and make things easier for people? Yes. Got a Problem with that?

You're willfully ignoring everyone telling you this will make people mad at you. Do with the information as you will, but don't come crying to the forums in the future if you're determined to macro all your shit.

Bro we are in the middle of another sproutpocalypse right now. Most low level people know jack. Guess who I get to party with while I'm leveling up all these jobs and classes? SPROUTS! YAAAY. Might as well make this fun, otherwise I'll just be negative and jaded like a lot of people. "Don't have fun or be happy, you must sweatlord hard in low level content" vibes here, way uncool.

I have no idea where you are getting any of that in anything I have said. I have also been getting into parties with a lot of sprouts recently. It's fine. They're fine. I'll help them if they need it, otherwise I'll let them go at their own pace. Sometimes they take longer to clear a dungeon and make some mistakes. So did I when I was a sprout. Getting put in a low level dungeon with a sprout tank and having them single pull isn't that big of a deal to me, or being paired with sprout healer asking me as the tank to go a bit slower, or a dps that doesn't understand the boss' mechanics yet and dies -- everyone has to start somewhere. But somehow you seem to have taken me saying "don't use ability macros please, they get really annoying, try to talk things out with a sprout if they don't understand something," as "you're not allowed to be happy and have any fun in dungeons ever." Can't help you there. Many people have explained why ability macros are a bad idea. The core of your issue, however, seems to be that you just don't like running content with new players and harbor some disdain for them, and that's something funny macro buttons aren't going to help with, I'm afraid.

Well 1313, account created in April 2024, and 19 posts, I would be cautious about trying to make macros to have fun in group content with strangers. Everyone has a different idea of what is fun and enjoyable. Some, for reasons that elude me, enjoy talking using Twitch.tv memes and sayings. Some, like myself, enjoy old memes and absurdist humour.

If you want to be funny and make the dungeon run more enjoyable, then let that come out in your chat/character/glamour. Be fun

The assertion that a line of text in chat will anger people is unfounded. These macros are commonly used for a variety of reasons. Commands like /ac living dead /p let my hp hit 0 (once) <se.10> or /ac raise <t> /p raising <t> do not bother anyone or clutter their chat. The irritation expressed here seems unwarranted. Modifying these widely used macros does not exacerbate the situation or create any issues. Those who argue otherwise may be doing so just to oppose, or they might be echoing others' sentiments. If I were to use unnecessary macros, such as a mudra macro for Raiton with /p CHIDORI!!!!! and multiple <se>, then complaints about chat congestion and irritating macros would be justified. Currently, there's an influx of new players unfamiliar with the game, and as I begin Stormblood, I encounter these newcomers frequently. Without these informative macros, much time would be spent on explanations and repetitions. It's better to use these tools to facilitate a smooth experience and maintain a cheerful atmosphere. Regardless of how others feel, I will continue to use these macros to streamline the process until I reach a level where my peers are more knowledgeable.

*Adjusts glasses* Well, you see, I believe a survey of your peers all saying "please don't do this, we find this annoying" is actually quite the foundation upon which to build the assertion that this will anger people. We can continuing gathering data to ensure this isn't noise in the data, and then we can start graphing the levels of discontent with macros.

Nobody has been annoyed by my macros yet, but have had lots of laughs and made jokes with a lot of players during duties. These jokes and laughs we've shared stem from said macros. *shrug*
