Admit it that you at least chuckled at it a little.

Oh, yeah, I definitely wasn't laughless.
i used to have a long spynet op macro but that was for rp reasons, i had /follow in it as well which saved even more time and looked slick. and as far as clicks go i've got an MSD of the wrist/arm so less clicks = longer gametime!

You know what, you're right!
That's it, I'm starting a new petition! Getting a bio sig should now require 50 clicks, then remounting your speeder is another 30. Hopefully, this will root out any of those lazy respec BH n00bs!

Well I cant speak for others, but my frame-rate isnt the best, and even worstin kaadara.
So when my BARC slides pass the informant, and it almost always does, I have to pan my camera to face the ops to click. With bad frame-rate the camera stutters and takes up some time.
After jumping off my BARC, it rubberbands to god knows where so now I have to search for it. Is this alot of time? No! But is it annoying to me? Yes!
With the macro I am riding top speed with the mouse movement, while my left hand is changing the toolbar. I press "1" once, which sets off the macro, and then I leave.If I cared to, I could bind it to a key. So if I get close, I just press say the "j" key.
All these things help me improve my game experience. I am less frustrated with the lag and the frame-rate. Now obviously some of you dont have these problems, buttrying to force others to play the same way you play is a backwards way of thinking.
If you want to type everything out by hand, do everything by memory that's fine. I applaud you.
But me? I like the option of running a macro to target my mark in a big city while I'm launching the seeker. I like the ability to run a macro for my food and spice so I can worry about other aspects. I dont want to be trying to mouse-target my droid and then switch to my mark while 50 pikets are around.
So I like macros. But I dont say, "Wow, people who dont use macro's are stupid".
So this bit with "Wow, people who use macro's are lazy" is simply ridiculous.
You're like those old people that complain about computers because they dont know how something works. Not to mention not giving them a chance. You should really try it out before you make such a fuss over it.
Dont like it? Dont use it. Simple, eh?
Actually i have tried various macro's I am not flaming you, infact, you are the guy helping out the original poster.
However, just seems pointless to me. If someone wants to bypass pressing 6 clicks on a mouse then cool. I actually love racing other BH's in kaddara manually getting the BIO (sad as it sounds) to see if I can get me probe up before theres lol.
All in good fun. Didnt mean to offend.
