Ok, I have 2 macros. 1 for getting me to the item I want to craft and the other for creating the item. They were working fine until just now. When I use my 1st macro it says "Hopper is out of range" and takes my resources. I have changed nothing since the last time I was using my macro. Do you guys have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

re-log to get your xp

There appears to be 2 new, very annoying bugs. I had the first one pop up for the first time while grinding chef. I used a macro to advance me through the crafting stages while I put in the resources and it burned 10k units of resources but I got zero exp. I'd heard about re-logging to fix it and low and behold...nothing. My exp didn't change. So I tried the macro method again and still no exp, then I tried doing it manually and bam, I got exp for it. Maybe it was just bad luck but I gave up wasting resources for that and didn't go any further so I came to the conclusion that they somehow disabled one of the crafting stage commands so that it ends the session as if you canceled it after combine effectively giving zero exp. Somewhat like what they did with ID by disabling the accept command so you couldn't target yourself and hit the in game macro and go to sleep and macro yourself to master without even touching the game other than to train and type /dump.

I've also experienced the bug where the exp doesn't show up until you relog, this is only really annoying because I don't want to wait until I see the 'You have reached your current limit...yadda yadda' since I'm not sure it will even give the message since the client isn't updating exp properly.

Overall, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't disable the macro-crafting commands, or at least some of them, since grinding prof's is about to go the way of the do do (the bird, not doo doo) soon and I wouldn't be surprised if they make professions a little more difficult/less macro-grindable since people won't need to shift professions every 3-4 days (or more if you got unlucky and had to do something like Bounty Hunter).

Either way it's really annoying to find out that while you were macroing watching TV, you turn around and see that 40k credits was just wasted because of a 'stealth nerf' or a really irritating bug. If it's nerfed, it would be nice if they filled us in on it, they don't need to explain WHY but letting us know it's happened would definately be a nice thing since the FAQ clearly states that using the in game macro system to assist in professions is perfectly acceptable even if you can go 100% afk to do it (before anyone argues, check the FAQ in the game, it's very definate and doesn't hedge on the answer at all).
