My easy controller setup for WAR

You sound salty. I wasn't attacking you or the people using macros. It's just a well-known fact in this game that macros are generally bad (only SCH gets a high benefit from having some macros). Playing in an optimal way doesn't prevent you from having fun at all. It's even the contrary for me. But hey, if you get your fun by smashing macros, fine for you. I don't, and I don't recommend people to do that either.

I play maybe 3-4 days a week and generally get into a raid on the latter half of it's life. I probably won't be starting savage Alexander for another couple weeks because of kids, wife, job, school ( thats right kids... it never ends), gym, etc.

I wanted to answer to this too, in this game you can easily get into raiding while only playing 3-4 days a week and having a real life with kids, wife, job etc... There is a lot of statics that are only raiding 3-4 days a weak in the evening and only 2-3 hours per day. Just gotta find the right people. I personally got lucky to have a GF who's into gaming and while she's not playing FFXIV, she enjoys watching me playing and raiding and she even sometimes plays a bit with my char (not in raids tho). But if your wife isn't like that, you should find a static with schedules that will fit your real life ^^

Yeah I run in a small group of about 5-6 of us that do raids. I played alot when 2.0 first came out and raided T5 pretty early, but life has changed now. We are gearing up for savage now and hope to be in there soon. Yeah but it's a scheduling conflict for alot of static groups that want someone there for a good 6 hour stretch. I'm pretty excited to get on there.
