People claim that AFK spammers degrade the Merchant profession, making Barker droids less usefull.
Now with the proposed macro changes, afk spamming will not be as easy, suppossedly giving advertising back into the Merchant class where it belongs. Using Barker droids especially.
The problem is that Barker droids are so dang inefficient. Auto storing bugs aside, having to recharge them every hour makes them pretty useless. Even if you are ATK, having to travel to where he is barking to recahrge him so often is lame.
Currently some clever people use a second account and a power droid to keep their barkers going. Yet with recursive macros gonig away, that soon wont work either.
I'm all for putting advertising back into the merchant class, but in order to do so, the Barker droid needs an improvement.

Totally agree, problem here is that SOE will say, 'hey we just made droid batteries last longer, what the heck do you want?'
To that I'd say - 2hrs minimum for low intensity uses like barking.

I couldn't agree more... 1 hour battery is far too low. It's a pain and hassle to keep recharging them.
And when I say 'them' I mean all droids, not just the merchant barkers.
And maybe it makes it even more valid to see that the only ones so far that has answered this post and agrees are both Master Droid engineers.
