xsyon has a soft cap, meaning you have to upkeep your skills. the more time you spent online training the skills you want the more skills you can keep up to max level.
macro's allow people to ignore any macro able skill in game during thier normal play time and keep those skills up by using macro's as they sleep.
Hiding,running,jumping,teraforming are the most easy to macro. but skills like foraging and scavenging can be used in a macro aswell.
A smart player would focus on two skills to macro , once they got max skill and all level points out of it , they switch to two other skills, letting the first two decay , getting max skill and level points again, repeat this and you have a never ending supply of level points you can use to upkeep more skills whit. all in all resulting in a heavy adv over player that do not use them.
