    Macros aren't a viable excuse for bad programming. With a keyboard and mouse, which I stopped using ages ago, though, it's almost unplayable. And I also refuse to macro my whole equip. This is not how it is supposed to be.

    I play solely with keyboard and I have no trouble at all? Use the number pad for all motion and use j,k,l,i; to move the camera around. Use the number keys for action bar and use w,a,s,d; for when you need to move while performing an action. Use the up and down arrows for menus. Why do people have problems with the keyboard? The controls are really fluid imo.

    Seems to me that macros were only put in in this game to make up for poor and sloppy UI design. Not enough action slots? MACROS! No good way to control AoE for each spell? MACROS! Actions not saved per job? MACROS!

    A dumb justification only makes the issue even dumber.
