Which gamer isn't under the influence of macros today..?
Even the freaking Theme Park MMO's are subjugated to macros.
The constant murdering of brand new helpless players are what have pushed his attack skills over the 90's It could be total BS everything else the guy says is complete lies, but I have witnessed them macroing and watched it go on for several rest cycles.
It is true he may have the advantage now but with a softcap instated hopefully catching up won't be a problem.
I still suggest that you report people who are macroing. They aren't helping the lag any.
Macro's are bad for the game, because they spam the server with endless commands. That will inevitably contribute to lag for everyone who is actually trying to actively play.
The so-called "attended" macro's are just as bad. Running a macro while watching TV or browsing the 'net is just as bad as leaving the keyboard, because if you weren't running the macro, you'd most probably not be playing anyway.
The argument that Xsyon "cannot afford to ban players for macroing" because the playerbase is so small, is shortsighted. If those running the macro's go around with wtfpwn skills killing all the "honest" players, people will leave the game of their own accord.
There is no real defense against macroing other than vigorous enforcement by the GM's and guides. The dev's can pull character stats on all players, and those that seem far ahead of the XP-curve can be monitored ingame.
