    Longer Macro's

    I was wondering as to why macros are limited to 15 commands? Or why one macro cannot call another?

    As a crafter having to use 2 macros for lvl 80 3 star recipes can be a bit of a pain. Did the devs ever go into detail as to why macros are restricted in such a way?

    It's to prevent automatization aka one button macros that does almost everything for you.

    Because they don't want you recursing infinitely.

    I'd say because they don't want people botting, but they don't actually do anything about legit players botting it seems so *shrug*

    My crafting macros always end like 3 or 4 lines over the limit. What would I give for 5 more lines per macro.

    What i hate on that is, it would be so sweet for explaining stuff and position macros... and i just hate when my crafting macro needs those 3-4 more lines. I wished we could get just 5 more at least...

    I dunno man. Almost every Savage raid can be condensed into a single positioning macro.
