    If I can play 7+ jobs/classes on one character, then I should have 7+ equipment set screens to easily toggle through.

    As for targeting, if there is a macro that works great then that macro should be hard-coded into the game by the developers...not by me.

    It's the principle of lazy programming that bothers me. "Allow the players to choose their playstyle" often seems like an excuse rather than a feature.

    They aren't computer codes, they are simple chat commandos.
    /action "Cure III" <p1>
    Cast Cure III on Partymember 1
    You can use them with the macro slots or write it in the chat

    But for only targeting, you don't need a macro.
    Just look a little in the keyboard configuration menu. There are some useful target options waiting for a key bind
