That and you'll come to realize that the characters and their players are really pretty nice beings - some might be a bit daft, but nice never-the-less!

I think we should all agree to disagree and just stop debating this topic back and forth. I'm sure we can all get along despite differing opinions about a change that may or may not occur.
Not to mention the fact that some of us from both sides of this /macro fence have been trolling in one form or another.
I've been reading about this Cantina Crawl(sorry I don't read the forums often...) and it sounds really interesting, plus the videos were great. So I guess I'm starting to see that there is some good in these forums after all.
I don't know about everyone else but I'm done with these macro topics after this post, there are plenty of better things we could be coming up with besides flames and 1 star ratings.
Now, THIS I agree with!
Phoenix, you should make a character on Bria and join us for the Cantina Crawls. They're an absolute blast, and usually contain enough drama to satisfy even me. *grin*

Who you calling daft? Ditzy I may be, but daft . . .what was the question again? 
All seriousness aside, the Crawls are a blast and EVERYONE is welcome.

Well said. Is there more than one person posting under your account, Sif?

I expect (hope) that they think through it and clearly state that only AFK play that advances one's character or performs some task that would otherwise be performed while ATK are against the rules, but that they leave the more harmless stuff (keep alive macros that only keep alive, shuttle ticket clickers) untouched.

Yep.
Really, I must confess, I was just bragging at my knowledge of the quote.
Avid Simpsons fan I am.

No, but the same person posting under more than one account.
AFAIK, my stance hasn't changed. I'm no fan of buff bots, but I'm also against reducing functionality of the game in order to "improve" it. Especially when that nerf will not produce the desired improvements.

Well, as the author of quite a few of these flame starting threads, I agree. No more flame starters from me and no support of flame threads from me either.
Peace

People saying they can make rules and stop people being AFK is nonsence, beleive me if you start that then your opening up a can of worms..If people want to leave the game running while being away you cannot stop that and their is a devise that already removes your character if not doing anything. That I don't mind, but if I setup a macro to keep my character busy while I do house work then thats my choice not anyone elses. This removal of the recuring macro is inconveinant for allot of people and does not harm other players in any way.
Those saying it does are talking out of their black hole, and as yet haven't provided any strong evidence that it effects their play in anyway. You like everyone else need to get off your backsides and sell your buffs away from those using botts instead of crying on the forum about not being able to make money, this is a sad and stupid excuse..
Not one entertainer can say that a bott halms them in anyway and if they say they do, then put a valid reason here: and in great detail please tell use AFK supporters why buffbotts halm your profession, Please leave out being social/taking your trade as these are not falid resons to have afk removed..

Been done many many times in this forum if you bothered to read them. But you don't, and instead rather try to continue antagonistic posts. Please stop.
