There was a time when the spectacle of adding flavour-text to one's spells was actually encouraged, though i get how it can easily turn into something obnoxious when the flavour-text for a spell macro is in all caps and it's just the name of a spell or something silly.

But even back in 2.0 days people had a lot of fun with that sort of thing, and as far as i could tell; people generally didn't seem to mind as long as they were having fun with the content.

Things change i guess, as well as people's attitudes.

EDIT: I do want to add that there was and i think still a way to add flavour-text without it showing up in the chat bar itself so it doesn't disrupt or flood the battle chat, i believe you can set it so it only shows up in a text bubble above a character; i feel like that is at least the more non-disruptive way to do that for spell macros.

It was rather annoying back then tbh. The bards who had silence macrod with flavor text and sounds that they pressed repeatedly every 30 seconds cuz macros didn't queue. What fun that was!

The whole party sound macros was and still is a completely different set of annoyances, but yes i can imagine that sort of behavior is what made a lot of it intolerable. I think i remember some or most of that type of thing happening a lot in Castrum Meridianum; the Dungeon i wager most players lived in for quite awhile- i know i did. XD

I'm always looking through the lens of rose-tinted-glasses with this game, so there is a group of people out there still doing that kind of stuff and annoying the heck out of the people (the over-usage of macro sounds i mean; and probably lots of text) - i am simply just not aware of it anymore.

I fish a lot these days. These long quiet days. *sighs*

By all means, I know a lot of RPers don't do that kinda of stuff, but as the OP stated, he was getting hate for tying skills to yells.
Even when in a place like Limsa, if someone spams the chat, it's usually followed by a blacklist. My chat is gunked up with bots, FC chat, and other stuff - really don't need to be seeing it. That being said, I know that the majority of RPers are RPing in the public chats.

filter your chat boxs lol

1 tap for fc 1 tap for ls 1 for say/emote and 1 for party lol

Oh, I do filter my chats, and have multiple set up. I even do additional filtering when I blacklist people who spam it.
