in game optional tools

And those are a horrible idea as well. This would be worse though because in addition to not being able to queue spells, you run the risk of throwing your entire rotation off hitting the button too quickly or too slowly.

lol no you dont removing auto cast on the macro would help dps do there rotation because the second you move during a autocast macro your rotation is screwed go create a trail acc on wow for long enough for 3 abilitys through /castsequence .. until then you got no idea what your talking about

You are just... wrong. Macroing spellcasts is a bad idea because macros can not queue spells. Adding multiple spells into one macro would only exacerbate this issue.

edit: This has nothing to do with WoW as ability queueing is a FFXIV thing. That aside, castsequence macros in WoW are a bad idea as well because of what I mentioned. If you hit it before the GCD is up nothing will cast until you press it again... which, as I said, throws your rotation off. I mean if you are super super casual and don't care... go for it. If you are trying to be even a decent player though....

Some tools for using with the in-game map might be useful. E.g. adding multiple "flags"/map markers, annotate them, connect them, choose more detailed what type of other markers to show etc... at least if they're going to add more stuff like this years Hatching Tide event. Maybe you could purchase those (stickers?) in-game from Khloe or other NPCs to use on ones map. Kudos if you could solve the riddles without getting many hints from the NPC - I did not have the patience nor the tools to trace that off the screen.

Personal flags would definitely be a nice addition.

1. basic in game calender to add markers and self panned out/fc plan out stuff

This would be great for FCs to post events, especially if it automatically adjusted to each members local time. I used to run a website for an FC, and at most only about half of the members would regularly check it.

5. in game notepad <optional turn off or on>

This would really handy. I'd use it to keep notes on players I've met and to do lists. (Yeah I know I could do this on my phone or computer but I don't always have access to them while I play)

you do know optional things like macros are never bad right since its optional if you dislike it you don't have to use it right

I never said you couldn't use it. I said it was a bad idea, and likely not something they would likely add because of it getting potentially close to bot scripting.

Make something ideal for the meta, and the pressure is on to use it more and more. Did you ever consider such a thing? Not like this idea would make the meta outside crafting considering how macros work...

if pressure gets to you .. you have a serious proplem and that isn't the game or tools fault for your lack of will power lol

Well let's be real there: bots don't need that functionality to operate and it doesn't really help them.

About the only game I've played where a castsequence-type macro was useful was Rift, but only because it allowed spell cascading AND you could legitimately have a rotation with 50 abilities in it because of how their class system worked.

In WoW... eh, I tried it for a while when I was first learning the game, but it didn't take long to realize it was a bad idea if I ever wanted to like... do well. I feel the same thing would happen in FFXIV. It's just not that useful when compared against just learning your rotation properly.
