"Swift completion" is relative to the game, not the community

I don't care that deep dungeons are an option (that is in fact how I leveled my healers)

You were repeatedly given a very easy way to level in the 61~71 range, one where no expectations exist beyond "pop the portal open quickly", where you barely have to communicate with your party much less meet a bare minimum standard of gameplay that you should know by that level... and yet you instead wanted to inflict yourself on DF, despite your proclaimed problems with it, because.. why, exactly?

Moral grandstanding? Intentionally wanting to grief people because god forbid you're expected to know some bare basics and meet basic gameplay standards at that level range?

You're honestly sad. You would rather grief people than take an option that 100% seemed more suited to your personal form of selfish playstyle, and then you come in here insulting people telling you how backwards that thinking is just because we don't fit into some weird idea you types get in your heads about how "nice" and "welcoming" this community is.

Stick to single player games if that's the attitude you're going to carry in MMOs.

Self projection is one hell of a drug.

a lot of this thread has more than convinced me to never, ever tank for live players (in a trinity compliant 4-person group or "non-MSQ-roulette" situation) ever again

And we are all thankful for that

With my priority macro rotation that I have for almost every job.

Macros are for crafters, not dps. If nothing else the rest of that post was an entertaining read I won't forget anytime soon.

To clarify:

The macros that crafters use, the ones where you hit one button and skills and pauses craft an item, are not what I use in combat. Someone recommended to me similar macros for ninja abilities and they were way too slow.

A piled up priority button as a spammed fall-through serving as a “1” in a 1-2-3 standard rotation is absolutely viable if you know your limit and play within it, which I do. This doesn’t work for every class, but you might be surprised how many conditional attacks can be classified as “one more line.” I currently have about 80 macros having tackled every job in the game now, and you can’t tell me that some of these conditional attacks gated by cooldowns, gauge resources or flat out “grey until comboed” aren’t designed with the macro potential in mind, even if only as an accessibility feature.

Good enough is good enough, and the minuscule advantage of “ability queueing” isn’t big enough to discount this “spammed priority macro” from “good enough” play, especially in normal/leveling content.

Just wanted to get that clarification in, because I agree that “one press, multiple abilities” is far too slow. I’ve seen it, and it doesn’t pass my personal smell test for combative application.

Thank you for this opportunity to provide clarity.

I'll be DPSing. With my priority macro rotation that I have for almost every job.

Oh I see what this is now, it's Dunning and Kruger doing another experiment isn't it? You sneaky sausages, you got me there, lads.

Wait you use macros for combat abilities? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA everything about this thread suddenly makes so much more sense.

Good that we don't share the same data center.

Imagine starting a dialogue with an assertion of absolute certainty based off an assumption that when boiled down is "Don't be worse than bots" and then pretending like you actually weren't close minded from the start.

See you in neverland.
