And anyway, you are the one that suggested it would be nice to follow 1 macro with another, so why are you even poo pooing it?

/derail topic off

I uh... didn't? ^^;
What I said is that it would be nice to give more instructions to macros, so you don't have to make Part1 and Part2 of macros, giving more macro management. Maybe you confused that =)

We dont need to activate macros within macros, just give us more lines, this was a common complaint in FFXI and is why people used scrips and spellcast.

While its not as big a problem here as in FFXI because you can't gear swap in battle, there are people that have eaction macros for different circumstances and gear swap macros, where 10 lines is not enough.

Classes have 14 actions native, and 10 cross class actions at level 50 and throw/refill, therefore we could have 25 lines which would be enough for eactions and a second one for gear swaps, many more and people could exploit it, so keep the eactions and gear swaps seperate.

Take a MRD for example, they could use 1 gear set for tanking and one for dps, they would also have different actions set, thereofore we would go from the 5/7 macros for eaction and gear swaps (might beable to fit gear swaps into one, cant think off the top of my head) to 4, tanking gear and actions and dps tanking and actions, 35 lines would consolidate them even more, but people could take advantage of it.

You got me, fair and square... I misread, looks like were both guilty of that though.

You cant craft or gather with macros alone. The only potential for abuse is xp, but then u cant move your character with a macro.

Walk > Press R (to autorun) > Then macro. Auto bot that move and kill.

More lines in the marco would be helpful.

SE need to change the way macros are sent to the server, ie send the whole macro in one go and not line by line, this would allow for almost instant changes instead of a blinking character for 10 seconds and lines being missed out due to latency.

I imagine that addons will address some of these issues if they aren't addressed by SE specifically.

Won't we have class specific macros bars in 2.0 (or earlier)? That will solve some macro space issue for sure.

My real purpose for posting though... what do you guys do with all those macros? o_O;
I can barely fill 2 bars of them.

Personally , I use a naga epic mouse and g510 keyboard I macro all abilities i ahve and map the keys on my mouse/keyboard to cast them with 1 touch rather having to hold down alt+7 i just hit g15 on keyboard to cast cura

I have a ctrl/alt macro bar for THM , Con, archer, glad, and MRD

Only other option is to allow mapping of keys to action bars which wotn be an option til 2.0 i believe easy fix would be to just let us make more macro bars since they are saved on our side
