Can we just make macros officially added into the game?

"Going to a 3rd party site is annoying, I have to tab to it and interact with a website to play the game."- By third party, I'm assuming Teamcraft? Just buy another monitor?

" Sure you can "craft it yourself" but people would rather just add extra wait delays or have multiple crafting macro pages for a single craft. Why even have this disconnect at all, it's basically all in the game now anyway."- What are you even talking about here?

Lastly, are you asking for premade macros that you can click from the Actions & Traits menu? If so there would be no fun or enjoyment in crafting. Making your own macros is also fun. Plus you have +100 slots for custom macros. Usually one unique macro is enough for +50 crafts.

In my opinion, a game requiring a second monitor to play in order access info is not great gameplay. Having to buy a second monitor is a bad solution, but surely this was more of a sarcastic suggestion? I'm sure SE is aware of this since they have tried to reduce the amount of time the player has to tab out with things like gathering (search gathering location) and crafting (search by crafting method, trial synth, etc).

I'm talking about the <wait.3> etc that you need to specifically set per action.

The point is crafting is already just a macro game. SE should just embrace it by improving the UI.

I think there are two separate issues here:

1. Creating a macro: Some sort of drag-and-drop system would be preferable to typing out skill names by hand.

2. <wait>s and lag: Some sort of execution system that waited for a step to complete before moving on to the next one would be preferable to whatever it is the game does currently.

As a "casual" crafter, I don't need or want much more than that. I'm not sure that I'd trust a macro that I didn't create myself to be appropriate for my gear and unlocked skills.

Yes this is what I would like. I'm not asking for all of Teamcraft to be put in ffxiv. Just update the UI.
