    I don't think it's a matter of what Square Enix's design philosophy is. Its what we want as consumers of one of the most expensive games on the market. Not having effective combat macros in one of the most expensive combat based games out there is just hipster. Just hipster.

    Should people want to spam their non-game breaking macros I think they are entitled to do just that. This change wont break the game. I'm not asking for a 0.5 second wait timer I'm asking for a macrolock timer which is different.

    Don't get me wrong I love this game it's the macro implementation that makes this game irritating to play.

    I want to spam macros and assume others do too.

    If you macro so many things that macros make the game "irritating to play", you're macroing too many things and playing the game wrong.

    There is nothing to fix here--gamewise, anyway.

    What are you talking about? Saying there is nothing to fix. Having macros locked for recast periods comes standard in any modern MMO it just makes rational sense to do. I honestly don't understand how you can say I'm playing the game wrong if I'm macroing my abilities to a great extent. It is a game, games are for enjoyment and having advanced macros is my play style. This is how I have fun. If you meant that I'm not playing the game as intended then I'd have to say the intentions of the game designer are horrible.

    If you prefer to hit every single ability in the game manually that's fine. You may like bashing rocks together too. Who am I to criticize?

    If there's one thing anyone in any service industry will tell you, it's that the customer is never right.
