If you're talking about gear swap macro's in 2.0 the gear data will be linked automatically with the class/job so you wont need to make macro's anymore for gear swap I think. At same time I remember people asking to have 2-3 different sets for that class/job since you have different gear setup for different occasions/party structure. But yeah I would like at least 5 more lines myself and/or macro linking once macro finished automatically starts the macro you assign.

Yeah I was talking more so about the abilitys, I'm sure there are people who prefer to use macros for everything like me, as I come from XI it feels more natural and faster for me.

It really bugs me that I have to do this, I know 2.0 will be different with us having 2 or 3 lines always visible on the screen so I doubt they will change it now but yeah they should have given us way more lines and I don't think they understand it is frustrating?

Here is my WHM/BLM/WAR set, as you can see I use the first line on the UI for all the weapon skills on DoW and for DoM I have the most important cool downs, the other 2 lines I have to use macros because I just find scrolling through the UI is cumbersome and slow.

Wow why would you go to that much trouble when you have action bars.. confused.

Scrolling through macro bars is just as slow and cumbersome as scrolling through action bars..

People who actually played this game were accustomed to macroing everything because it was quicker and easier. In XIV macros make your life easier because no it's not slow and cumbersome, it's actually a hell of a lot quicker, especially job/class change macros.

I see you have BLM leveled, are you really telling me you have zero BLM macros? Ouch. Easier to make and manage macros will be a good thing for those of us who use macros in this game.

Aye, though I only use macros to gear swap.

But I use a gamepad. It's real quick to switch between action bars using that. So your mileage may vary if you're a m+k user.

I have macros to change gear and jobs yes of course I do.

No I don't use any macros for spells as a BLM, WHM or any other class, as I said there is no need to do so.

I played FF11 for 5-6 years also and used many Macros so can appreciate the reasoning to some extent but still can't see how its any faster.

Anyways don't turn this thread into one of your 10 pages of arguments for the sake of it.
