What do you think of crafting with remote desktop apps?

Yeah I don't see what's with the macro hate. Some of us write our own. May not be exactly the way the ones that others just copy do it but I can get the same result through my own work so I'm happy. Plus it isn't like macros weren't a thing back in HW.

Talera, how long did yours take to perfect? I TRIED making a single step macro, finally had to split it into a two parter. Did you also notice that the cp usage between a 3 and 4 star was actually pretty small?

Once I pentamelded, it was more what food to use for that extra control to HQ.

A decent amount. Don't remember how much but thank the Twelve we have Trial Synthesis. I don't have a single step macro. It's a two parter and I'm fine with that. I didn't notice the exact CP usage but I did notice I didn't have to tweak my 3 star that much for most of it work for 4 star. I was also completely pentamelded already and had even melded more than I needed so I didn't have to change any melds.

I like to copypasta my macros and reuse where I can and then see what specific pieces I need to adjust. But I'm a coder and 99% of our lives is that, lol.

And what benefit will this serve? An increased skill gap that rewards others who "make it their own way"? Nah, people would just read sequenced abilities off their other monitor and manually input them.

Macros boil down to being purely QoL, and that's not the kind of thing you strip from a game you want to be successful.

This. Macros in themselves aren't the issue. They're a QoL and you can easily just walk through the craft making one step by step. It's the fact the recipes can be macro'd at all instead of requiring more consistent interactivity. Maybe not for basic stuff but I would have liked to have seen that sort of system for Expert more than just waiting on RNG.
