As for an all day macro, I wouldn't know I played my character to Master Dancer, sorry.
Folks, I think Geloran typifies what I've been trying to tell the rest of you: Most dancers in-game have NO idea how the rest of us (and most of the player community) feel about AFK macroing. This doesn't make Geloran a bad person. It just means we need to educate him.
Geloran I think is clearly in a minority, in that he is an AFK dancer who is reading this board :-)
Therefore, education as you put it is possible in this case.
However, the problem in educating most AFKers is they don't read this board, and ingame education isdifficult as they arent there at the keyboard. /tells will be lost in amongst all the other spatials, and some of them even have /join put in their afk macros so even a group invite doesnt give an indication if they are at their keyboard or not! The only way is an ingame mail I suppose; out of curiousity has anyone ever mailed an AFKer to explain some facts?
I do know how to put a macro together that an AFK dancer could use but I'm not going to post it here.
It's something Iused a lot in the past, as I was so busy chatting ingame and in /tells I was forever forgetting to flourish! I still do. So I guess Ican be accused of beingan "At Keyboard Macroer" :-) But now I've gained a good few levels and candance with other people rather than be just in individual in a group (band flourishes with dance partners are so much fun), I dont need it much, and I take more attention to looking artistic rather than metronomic.
I don't care if he's uneducated or if he didn't know it was frowned upon. He's by definition a bad entertainer for even asking the question.

Im also curious about the title of the thread, which ends "master dancers plz reply here"
Why would a Master dancer know how to make all day AFK dance macros?
You don't get apprentice points by leaving your PC on and going out the house...
I tried emailing a while ago. All I said was 'if you're going to go afk for a long time in the cantina could you please not stand in the middle of the dance floor so there's space for people who are actually playing'.
No response, next time I saw the person they were still a lump in the middle of the floor. They've been on my perma-ignore list since then but I've not seen her since she made master...surprise surprise.
I guess I could have left off the bit about 'so there's space for people who are actually playing' but her lack of response indicated that she simply didn't care about the other people.
On a personal note peripheral to the main discussion here, I confess: I AFK macro. I guess that makes me a bad person. I can live with it.
I found two places on Tattooine (Chilastra) where there is never anyone else in the building. I don't mean almost never, I mean never. I am sure that there are more than this, but these are my two places. This is where I afk macro dance.

Sweety, how do you educate someone who asks for a AFK macro in a forum with 5 AFK discussions on the main page ?
