Is it possible to offend someone...with a macro?

[Rhyku]

With the way some of these raise macros are written, you can't fault people for thinking healers aren't being condescending. Just go read the " share your raise macro" or something thread.

Macros that have any sound attached to it - please don't! We do not want to hear a sound every time you do something. In fact, just don't use any macros - they are annoying and nobody really wants to see it.

I main healer, and I've never used a swift raise macro - if my cohealer uses one, I will hope he dies and you can guarantee I can solo heal the run.

Running weeping as whm and I'm fighting ozma. One of the adds killed my cohealer so I raised him.
My macro: "<t> pls....dying is lame. Casting (raise)!"
And he said "your macro makes me want to stay died"
I thought it was a joke so I replied with "that's the point"
Only to get a snippy "you died more than us" (which wasn't really true because I only died twice. I was doing more of the rezzing anyway lol)
Like...did I hit a soft spot? Lol. I'm so confused xD

People get offended when I go "Pinkamena Pie licks you" so yes, people get offended in this game by the smallest thing.

OR maybe cause I'm a lala *shrugs*

Nah it's because you are being weird and kind of gross to strangers.

Eh, there is a Lalafell that runs around on Hyperion biting everyone. I think he's just a tad hungry and trying to grow a few inches.

Your honor, case in point what I just said before.


Very well, we shall move on to the next evidence in this thread

I think licking ppl is quite tame, compared to some of the crazy things ppl do on Tonberry >__<

[Seryne]

Someone got offended by my "Wake up sleepy dead!" raise macro so yes it's very much possible.

You did that to me in Void Ark the one time I ended up in there with you. I thought it was hilarious personally.

Now that I think about it, the type of macros that the thread is referring to...they kinda sound like the healer is trying to pass the blame from themselves and onto the person who died.

I suppose the solution to this problem would be to have your own macro handy, just in case you run into that type of healer. Something like...

"Healer, drink a Redbull and stay focused."
"I'm not saying it's your fault that I died, but you fail at keeping me alive."
"If you have enough time to read this macro, you have enough time to hit me with some Cure"
"A Priest & Rabbi walk into a bar.... - Don't let me die again, and I will tell you the punchline to that joke"

Pfft. If we're doing a Redbull marco, we need to do it properly. "My Raise gives you wings!"
