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!
