    I'll throw out a direction and a sound macro if the party needs to move to that area. I try not to spam my buttons. Even so, I recognize that some people don't like macros, either from sensory overload or that they feel they're being pushed. I just dislike the infighting.

    Oh in CC it's less of a problem unless you get some goofball who is spamming chat buttons just to be disruptive. The issue in FL is there is a subset of commanders who will literally send 100+ messages with sfx via macro in a 12-minute game. The worst excess I witnessed involved a message and thus noise on an average cadence of once every 3.8 seconds. No idea why they think this is helpful. Some sort of performance art maybe.
