Yea, its something like /ui action toolbarPane00


I know its pane, I'm not not sure about the toolbar part. It just feels wrong. It would go from 00 to 05 for the 6 panes.

Simply download a 3rd party program and violate the EULA, I could find you one in about 30 seconds quite easily.. If you find a workaround in game after these changes come into effect that allows you to AFK play then that is essentially what you are doing anyway.


I'm master or high level in 13 professions at the moment and I say you don't need recursive macros unless your lazy..


I have never understood why they would make a game which could play itself, stupid idea if you ask me.. Where is the fun in that ?!

Because being a non master sux whatever the profession is (i'm exempting the cross breed profs, PvP templates 2 trees here 1 there) and grinding to be a master a profession is not what i call "fun". Without looping macros we shall see less and less entertainers, Crafters where grinding to mastering taking weeks.

They do NOT need loop macros in the game. I am going to love driving through coronet and not have to add 30 people to my ignore list because they wont have there loop macros running.


No more ents begging for credits as they dance.


No more nubs sitting at starports afk with a macro.. Pls tip me.. I need new armor and such and such.


A nice change to the game for the best... Thank you SOE... You just might impress me yet

Hit a nail on the head there.. It's not what you call fun.


Teras Kasi Master x2, Master Doctor x2, Master Medic x2 , Master Ranger , Master Scout , Scout 0/0/1/0 , Master Merchant , Master Entertainer , Entertainer 0/0/1/1 , Master Dancer , Artisan 0/4/4/4 , Chef 1/0/3/4 , Tailor 0/0/1/0 , Politician 3/2/2/3.


Those are the professions I hold across all my characters currently.. I can safely say I had, and still have, fun playing them. I enjoyed leveling them as I did the ones I dropped and havent listed like Architect, Marksman and Bounty Hunter..


It's not what YOU call fun.. I tried to enjoy the experience and not AFK level my way to the top, and it's given me some very memorable times in SWG. Can you say the same ?


As for people taking weeks to grind to master level, that IS how it should be.. Just because people don't want to investtimeinto playing their character doesn't mean you should give everyone a method to grind out to master in days while they are asleep or only partly involved. It does nothing but cheapens the experience if you actually play the game the way it is meant to be played.


If you don't like the game, don't play it .. When I say that of course I mean don't log on , not set the pc up to play itself.

OK here is the solution - to be fair if I was a Dev I would say that it was still as good as a loop and ban it, but as it's not in the strictest sense of the wording I guess it will still be usable.


Write an alias, name it a one letter name, make the alias the macro crafting process, and then write another macro to execture the alias again and agin - without looping - if your alias nameis only one letter just imagine how many times you can execute it in one macro without ever having to loop once - think we worked it out to be about 1k times without looping at all.


By the way this wasn't my idea, I'm just throwing it up as an experimental idea - I can't write alias's for pie myself.


Hope that helps you evil AFK macro users. Like this wasn't going to become comon knowledge anyway.
