Macros and cheating

I dont understand why macros is isent just removed from the game, i mean with ai and skilled coders, some ppls macros is like a 4 papper exam.

Just remove macros, they are not needed, and while your add it , ban all addons execpt for maybe sarena and gladius.

Okay, remove macros guys, Ryber doesn’t like those. You heard the man.

Yea remove binds too so i can backpedal while i press kill command

No. Block advanced scripting in macros.
I use a ton of macros that are simple - when target is enemy use DMG spell, when target is frinedly Healing spell. That doesn’t do anything for me i just cuts down the amount of binds I actually gotta have as a class that can both DMG and Heal my friends.

I use also focus macros, also it just makes me not have to click the nameplate or a bind that I can setup for targeting.

I use arena1, 2, 3 again it just makes me not have to click a nameplate or a bind I setup for targeting.

I use mouseover macros again so I dont have to actually click on the enemy or friend I just keep my mouse on them or their nameplate.

I have a macro that pops my 2 CDs that are off CD + my trinket. Just again allows me to reduce the amount of binds I need.

Why would we ban all / remove all these simple quality of life improvements? You might not need them if your class has a 1-4 rotation, but for classes that got a ton of buttons and can DMG, Heal, give utility macros are a huge improvement and reduction in needed binds.

It was possible to abuse macros for a while, but there was a bug with their API - namely that you could create conditions based on the presence/absence of a buff/debuff. This was, of course, a huge exploit, and got hotfixed as soon as Bicmex and other people made it public and raised attention.

Ever since macros cannot be abused and can only be used for the trivial things:

  • to bundle together a GCD and non-GCD ability
  • to create a combat/out of combat condition
  • to target focus/arena/party members

and pretty much stuff like that.

So macros no longer give an unfair advantage, unless you consider completely new players, who haven’t watched a guide and don’t know macros exist.

Bots work without macros too

so if u remove macros for normal players, bot“s become even stronger.

they are needed.

git gud

I personally don’t like macros as well. If you put in the time and actually DO make macros, their effect on the game is quite significant.

For example, its quite difficult to select the healer and kick their cast while being trained and having 50 different nameplates in the screen (pets, totems etc.) but if you have arena 1,2,3 and a kick macro for that, it becomes stupidly easy to kick the healer. The difference is obviously very significant.

So IMO either remove macros from the game OR, perhaps finally, just implement majority of these addons to the game’s default UI and, I don’ know, prepare 3-4 page guide on how to utilize such UI together with macros.

Its really sad to watch a guy hover its mouse over healer, select and press the kick spell. Majority of the players are not even aware of these macros or their full potential.

:joy:
You can’t pick and choose
Disable everything or nothing

Agree and remove pillars ffs, so tired of people lining >.<

No just bind target arena1/2/3 to ur keybinds

Also rogues, disc, mage, lock, warrior charge, slows, stuns, racials, gladiators ban those so i can get it, demonology pets cuz they are annoying

Ur class alone is cheating by existing

There’s a reason why everybody use macros, they are way to useful. If you want to perform better - use macros.

But on the other hand castsequence macros should definitely not exist. Like rogues bind everything to one macro and do full rotation just spamming one button, should not be possible

Well you can still write one shot macros for rogues where you link 10 spells with a castsequence that resets every 10secs, all you need is to bait out a trinket first and later when you know he has no trinket spam the oneshot macro :smiley:

These macros put you at a disadvantage more than anything else :joy:

It’s better to press manually so you adapt to the situation better. These macros don’t really work in practice and high rated players don’t use such. They are mostly for beginners and youtube content
