Hey, don't feel bad. It shouldn't bother you that people are... how should I put this... ? "Lazy".

By the way, that wan't meant to be sarcastic. It was ment to reflect how I truly feel when I think that it's absolutly and utterly adsurd that people have to macro their way to becoming master at something without doing any real work. It's a cowards way out.

I am quite sure that real people who put their heart and sweat into something are the ones who find the real reward in the end. At least I hope that is the case with SWG.

There is a fine line between a different way of doing something as someone else mentioned. I belive that the intended purposes of macros as in any program was to make repeative task more simpler so that you wouldn't have to type them over and over again. I really don't think that they were intended as a cure all solution to making your life easier.

With that said, just wanted to let you know that I am on your side as far as macros and people who like to try to achive results without doing any of the real work. (Like cheating in class).

However, remember that scarcasm should be used on people that you know, and perferably in person when you have a feel for the conversation and not on a newcommer who ask a honest question. k,

Ixtli,

was meant to convey sarcasm... i see it as it bothers me that people want ways to let the game play itself basicly... I'm glad there isn't a 100% reliable way to macro the class... then we would all turn into entertainers

Considering the maturity level of the previous poster...

Here you are:

Hit Control+Shift+S to spin the camera and pan all the way out:

(This would be in toolbarslot 23 of course)

/ui action targetSelf;

/ui action cycleTargetOutward;

/tellpet (attack command); (this keeps the attack command quiet)

/pause (amount of time for pet to kill it);

/loot all;

/tellpet (follow command); (this keeps the command silent)

/ui action toolbarSlot23;

if you get the patrol commands and want CH xp, get a pet thats lvl 20-25, get him buffed, especially regen stats, go to newbie area, set patrol points, tell pet to patroll in circle, go a bit into the town, rigth inside the border while your pet patrols just outside, go AFK.

no exploits, no macros, just simple usage of ingame provided abilities.

A pet patroling gives you ch exp?? i made mch and never used patrol so i'm not aware of it's function other that roleplay or novelty. How does it get exp? (my guess is maybe if mob enters patrolled area pet attacks)

I never used formations either, and never seen specials work:-( I didnt grind, but worked on ch for several months, but it sounds like i missed quite a bit still.

Mat, I am sorry, but you have no idea what you are talking about.

It has been explicitly stated by several SOE employees that the part of theEULA you are refering to is meant to apply only to 3rd party macro tools (such as macromaker), NOT the in-game tools. The history of this situation is simple; They 'borrowed' the EULA language from Everquest, which had no build-in macro tool. They forgot to add in the '3rd-party' part into the language, but that is the intent of it.

If you think about it for a second, you will realize how stupid it sounds to not be allowed to use the in-game controls for the only purpose that they serve.

They want you to busy up their servers while you don't play the game? That doesn't sound like any sysadmin I know.

And they are free to change their EULA any time they see fit and they haven't made the "3rd party" language change that you cite. It's a simple language change which hasn't been made.

The in-game controls are good for any number of things. I for one have a crafting macro which enables me to click through the crafting XP as quickly as possible. I also have a pet healing macro which allows me to hit the button once and just heal them until they're full, provided of course that I keep stims in all the appropriate slots. These are *not* AFK functions nor were they intended to be. However they are exceptions to the blanket rule you set down and are evidence of your folly.

It has *not* been explicitly stated as the position of SOE that this is the case. This would have to be posted somewhere publicly by someone such as TH whose job it is to communicate with the playerbase. This has not happened. Cite specific evidence to the contrary and this is easily resolved.

Give me a shadowed forest into which I might disappear.
Give me a terrible foe and stack the odds against me.
Give me friends and creatures with whom I can share my adventures, my losses and my gains.
Let the gales blow and the world be torn asunder but don't make me stand alone against the tempest.

FYI, the ingame holocron help says and i quote

- Is AFK-macroing okay?

Yes it is.

Not that im terribly keen on them myself. IMO you are missing out on the main aspect of an MMOG if you use afk-macros all the time : interaction with other players.

I have lots of macros. Did a few classes mostly AFK. Not creature hanlder but it's not realy a great class for macroing.

I'm a computer programer. I get paid to make code that does things for me and others. Macroing is in and of its self a fun activity. It takes some creativity and skill to make a good macro that works well and does what is intended. Personaly I like to add emotes and some random utterances to mine, especialy if I'm doing it in public. There are games out there that are entirely devoted to programing characters and such ahead of time and watching them go in an interactive environment. The tools are in the game, its rude to fault someone clever enough to use them well.

Pletnty of people in this game have so little personality Its hard to tell if they are macroing or not. I have more respect for someone who macros some tedious process than someone who does something tedious themselves and dosn't enjoy it. Of cource a macroer is no substitute for someone who plays the game with relish. Killing yard trash for grind exp isnt much different AFK or sitting right there clicking the mouse.

I have never understood why people buy a MMO game to do AFK macroing.
