HQ macros shouldn't be necessary unless you're doing non-spec craft. At which point if you're using more than 2 requisite crafts of HQ mats then it's probably better to skip out on doing that and just going straight into maker's mark to guarantee it from all NQ. It will even out, if not be more efficient using maker's mark if you aren't doing requisite HQs.

All I can say is if you're on a shady connection, try using WTFast VPN in hopes of alleviating it. But aside from that all you can do is manually craft, or increase the wait times in the macros
