Why you should have at least one macro with a /p line.

[Elim]

No. Please no. Next people will be saying more people should have sound effects in their macros. The worst though are the macros with someone's idea of a witty joke in them (e.g. Hey <t> why are you coughing, you must have a {Virus} - and yes, I actually saw this). Macros are annoying. As for buffs/debuffs, there are handy icons for those displayed under the mob name and in the party menu. Granted, some players can't even manage to notice large red circles on the ground, but those players are so oblivious I don't think they will notice a macro either.

Okay I laughed at the virus macro. George Takei ruined my sense of humor! xD
