    I hate making FFXI references, but that had something similar with the macro book system.
    Well... calling a macro with a macro can induce into botting, because you can call a macro with a macro that calls the macro you called, creating a loop and doing actions repeatedly infinitely, but yeah, just... 10 rows are kind of a limitation =)

    May be I'm overlooking something, but I cant think of an instance how we could bot with a macro in macro command.
    SE keeps a tight handle of what commands make it into the text command hall of fame, partly for this reason I'd guess.

    Perhaps I chose my wording poorly, but you have to cater for the lowest common denominator in these forums :P

    Simple, you just have to do 2 macros that call each other. Something like:

    Macro 1
    - do act 1
    - do act n
    ....
    - Call macro 2

    Macro 2
    - do act 1
    - do act n
    ....
    - Call macro 1


    This way you have and infinite loop. By using some command to target and attack you can make your character kill monster for the loot.

    It was more about the future, maybe they are gonna give us commands we can use to ease our targeting and such.
    Let's see... You know that with normal attacks you kill a specific monster within 35 seconds.

    Macro1:

    /targetnpc //Target the nearest NPC or Enemy
    /ac "Provoke" <t> // Casts the Marauder skill Provoke to the target
    /wait 35 // Wait 35 seconds for the next action
    /mcall Macro2

    Macro2:
    /targetnpc
    /ac "Flash" <t> // Casts the Gladiator skill Flash to the target
    /wait 35
    /mcall Macro1

    Like this (of course in a perfect case) in a zone full of monsters you wanna farm you can activate one of these macros and leave the computer alone while you do something else.

    But it also depends on how they're gonna let the player decide with the commands and such, what to permit and whatnot. Depending on that they'll make it possible or not.

    That's one example =)
