Anyone else ever gotten complained at for using a simple Raise macro in PUGs?

[Dzian]

I have 2. 1 just says I'll raise whoever in a moment. Usually after the next mechanic..

The other is a swiftcast cool down.. which I occasionally pop if if any raise so people know why...

Usually when the co healer or anyone in party is demanding I get them up because they've been on the ground 30 seconds without a raise...

I've always had a simple, soundless raise macro. I don't care if it bothers someone or if it's annoying when I have to hit it a few times before I realize someone is out of range or things are so bad I'm actually dry.

In the case of hard raising, it immediately lets my cohealer or other raisers know who that long cast time is going on if multiple are dead. It's unfortunate if I have to move during said raise or interrupt myself to catch a tank (often happens when the other healer is face down), cause it means more chat spam, but too bad. The information is too valuable at times to simply leave out.

I've never run into any complaints, but I certainly believe they're out there.

I may shout at someone just for a bit of a joke if the player accidentally targets an enemy and their rez macro activates. I'd be like, "TRAITOR! don't rez enemy!!!". But other than that the macros don't really bother me, use them if you need to. It always beats those ridiculous macros of scantily clad fem moogles anyway...

At least there's no /raidwarning command. Wouldn't that be fun, if it blared onto the middle of your screen.

I've never had issues with people complaining about my swift-raise macro.

I hate text macro, that's super childish.

Once a bard used macro for every song he used...

I would like to "block" macro from other players without the need to blacklist them someday...

I think people hate the Raise-macro if it has the <t> funktion in it, because everybody sees that this person died (and maybe it's the only person who died 10+ times before in one fight).

It's helpful for other jobs who can raise dead people to see: ah yes, this person is in good care now, then i'll raise another one.

For players who dies in content more often it is a pillory (?). They only see: Look at him/her this looser died again, lol.

I've seen Raise macros and I generally don't mind (and rarely see people saying anything about it), but really I wish people would use two buttons... I hate seeing

"RAISING BLAH BLAH (callx)"
"RAISING BLAH BLAH (callx)"
"RAISING BLAH BLAH (callx)"

Because they hit the button 2-3 times to try to time it precisely when their GCD or what-not was ready.

Maybe.... use the /p macro once, and then if it doesn't work because of a GCD or you had to move or what-not, use the silent one after.

a simple raise macro without sound is fine.

however, it still gets reeeaaaally annoying when your healer is using it every few seconds in a 24 man raid >.>

[Elamys]

I had a raise macro with a sound effect - a small ping - and a simple "Raising <t>" but I removed the sound effect after Eureka. I never got complaints about it, even with the sound, it just made me anxious that I was annoying people with the sound. I probably was, but nobody ever said anything to me.
