    Request for Dawntrail: more macro slots

    As a player with arthritis, FF14's macro system has been a vital asset in my being able to play the game comfortably.

    However, in Endwalker, I've reached the limit: my character's 200 macro slots are almost entirely filled. Because of the limit, I unfortunately don't have enough macro slots to make macros for every class that already exists, and with two new combat classes coming in Dawntrail — both of which I am eager to try my arthritic hands at — I've realized I'm about to hit a wall.

    So with Dawntrail, I would like to request that the FF14 team please increase the number of available macro slots. This will help me to continue leveraging the macro system to play the game comfortably.

    I ask this hoping that it won't be costly to fulfill. It seems like macros are stored locally, rather than on the servers, so I'm guessing this could be done without requisitioning a ton of new space server side. (I know that some temporary storage space is used whenever someone manually transfers their local settings)

    Regardless, thank you for taking the time to consider my request!

    Just curious, but is this actually an issue? Asking outside of the OP. I imagine it could be slightly for roleplayers I guess, but I thought I was running low on macro slots until I realized I just needed to clean up the older crafting macros that I used when levelling.

    When someone with a disability tells us a UI/UX isn't accessible, we should listen.

    They should add the ability for macros to be processed server-side instead of client-side. That would also allow players with disabilities to perform at levels similar to other players.

    I don't use macros really at all, but I'm always for better accessibility features for people. +1
