So why no text macros in this game....
Coming from a fairly diverse background in MMO's I simply cannot understand why we cannot have text macros in this game. It seems the burden is on the player community to ask for a simple implementation that we are all accustomed to using or reading .. (some wills say OMG it will start fleet spamming of items to sell), but what it really will accomplish is an easier way to PVP, do fp's, datacron runs etc.
With all this in mind here is a proposal I want to try to get started into the weekly Q&A submissions hoping it will be addressed. Feel free to copy, paraphrase etc. I searched but have not seen this issue answered if it has been please add a link to this post so I don't feel so silly.
Thanks
Proposed Q&A question
One of the most annoying things in pvp or flashpoints or other ops type situations is the inability to have macros in a text form to allow the ease of communication between players. I have read the game devs have no intention of implementing this but I ask you to reconsider; it is critical in a mmo so we dont have to constantly repeat things, or can have situational macros when in pvp groups with newer players. Its almost essential for many RP events for those types of servers as well.
Now on a wishlist would be to be like RIFT where I can chain together some instant actions, or like the old MUD days where I could write a script to cast, pause etc but I know that is shooting for the moon.
The reality is we need at least text based macros in this game for group, ops, fp and guild.
