    The assertion that a line of text in chat will anger people is unfounded. These macros are commonly used for a variety of reasons. Commands like /ac living dead /p let my hp hit 0 (once) <se.10> or /ac raise <t> /p raising <t> do not bother anyone or clutter their chat. The irritation expressed here seems unwarranted. Modifying these widely used macros does not exacerbate the situation or create any issues. Those who argue otherwise may be doing so just to oppose, or they might be echoing others' sentiments. If I were to use unnecessary macros, such as a mudra macro for Raiton with /p CHIDORI!!!!! and multiple <se>, then complaints about chat congestion and irritating macros would be justified. Currently, there's an influx of new players unfamiliar with the game, and as I begin Stormblood, I encounter these newcomers frequently. Without these informative macros, much time would be spent on explanations and repetitions. It's better to use these tools to facilitate a smooth experience and maintain a cheerful atmosphere. Regardless of how others feel, I will continue to use these macros to streamline the process until I reach a level where my peers are more knowledgeable.

    *Adjusts glasses* Well, you see, I believe a survey of your peers all saying "please don't do this, we find this annoying" is actually quite the foundation upon which to build the assertion that this will anger people. We can continuing gathering data to ensure this isn't noise in the data, and then we can start graphing the levels of discontent with macros.

    Nobody has been annoyed by my macros yet, but have had lots of laughs and made jokes with a lot of players during duties. These jokes and laughs we've shared stem from said macros. *shrug*
