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

[Chessala]

Seriously, I don't find the OPs macro offending but I rather keep my mouth shut about what I think about it as it won't be pretty. But to each their own.

When the healer is slacking and let's you die there is no room for silly macro, because it looks like trolling when the person who is responsible for your death is after that mocking you as bonus.
That is the main issue with raise macros. The healers keep using them not considering the situation in which they are using them.

The healer is not responsible for idiots staying in AOEs or people not using their CDs. They are also not responsible for your supposed lag or saving your ass from whatever trash you do. Healers are not responsible for people not knowing their skills and not following game mechanics. Or in short: healers are not your personal servants..

Sorry to burst your bubble. Yes, we all derp and I am not saying it is never the healer's fault. After all, the challenge of keeping the party in shape in all situations is (at least for me) part of why I love being a healer.

As for the macros, unlike a 5 sec Pacification macro, raise macros are actually useful:
- making people aware they are being raised
- saving mp for the other healer/a summoner by avoiding double raises on the same person
- making the party aware that for a few seconds, they might to watch themselves

That's only the ones I can think of from the top of my head.

now that would offend me and alot.. that is not a macro to have in a game where you have minors involved....eh? people make macro because they find them funny but do they really think a bit further then the tip of their nose ? I doubt, seen some of the stuff that goes around out there

Why would I have to write my macro considering that? If parents see it fit to have their kids playing, it is their responsibility to "protect" them from the evil talk of naughty people. Letting a child play any MMO apart from maybe Hello Kitty Online will expose them to this kind of content. Don't want that, do the following:
- Enable the chat filter
- CLOSE the whole chat
- Play with them in a static group
- Set up their chat channels to what they can see and what not

Personally, my raise macro is safe for minors but not because I wrote it to be that way:

"<t> has encountered a fatal error. Rebooting...."

Read my post again. I am talking about silly macros when it's the healer fault. Talking about healers who have some psychological issues with keeping people alive based on their mood is entirely different topic.

That starts and ends with /p raising <t>. Anything else after it is not serving the points above.

I think you should read my post again as well. I am not talking about psychological issues at all. All I meant to say is: you are liability to the group with the way your play? It's not the healers responsibility to pull you through.

I am not saying it has to be an elaborate macro and yes, for the purposes a simple raising would be sufficient. But hey, all to make the healers servants that can't have fun in the game, eh?

I am absolutely fine with witty and funny macros. I don't like many of the ones I see around but if I have a healer that actually is at faultfor letting the party die (yes, there are plenty of those), the last thing I am bothered with is their raise macro. I'll be too voting to kick them.
