Basically if you use the looping CoB macro it's about to get nerfed. Post your opinions on the thread

Need a dancer buff? Good luck finding one.
Need a musician buff? Good luck finding one.
Need battle fatigue healed at 2am? Good luck getting that done.
Need an entertainer at all outside of Theed and Coronet? GOOD LUCK FINDING ONE!
Oh, and for the few people who have figured out how to get a doctor buff on a macro, they'll be gone too!
Don't forget the combat macros that you use! Without a /ui command or a /macro command, you'll be putting on your armor one piece at a time. Not that it matters much with the delay now.
Anyway, this post is for people who think eliminating repeating macros will only affect entertainer professions.
YOU will be affected by this.

Agreed. Why they are implementing this fix before more important fixes is beyond me, but then again we are talking about the devs...

Are they saying that you cannot put the macro up into the toolbar so that you can loop it? cause there is /macro -Name- Command, if you put that the end it will still repeat, guess they'd have to get rid of that command or else this looping will never end, should i even be saying this? If i'm not please tell me and i'll say this post is a lie and that it's not possible

they're getting rid of the ability to call a macro from a macro.
It's a joke, motivated only by people who want to preserve their standing as a master dancer/musician and other powergamers. This macro nerf might end up being one of the most brutal blows that the devs will make to their subscriber base.

Yeh their afk subscriber base. For those of you worried about your CoB macro you will just have to change it a bit.

Just type in over and over. The macro should last you though a fight.

Meh, I never used it. Honestly I think, though I never thought it unfair to use the CoB macro, I think it is just a tad more challenging not to use the macro.

Never had a problem with afk entertainers. If they are afk I still get my MIND wounds healed and thats all that counts. Getting a buff means finding someone with entertainer skill who is actively playing and that is by far alot tougher than finding a doctor since being an entertainer has no perks other than MIND buffing.
I've done both Dancer and Musician. Both were boring as hell and took 3-5x as long as any combat or medical professions I've ever done. Macros helped my get Master status while I slept or was at work. Master status let me buff people effectively thanks to my active play schedule.
People who have something against afk'ers are socialites who need intervention in their drama filled lives.

They can't take away /ui actiontoolbarSlot part of a macro, or they'll be useless. That could be the answer
Dont we also have to have a /clear combatqueue or something in the CoB macro?

And stick a /tell to yourself at the end (or put in an alarm) to tell you when it ends so you can hit the key again. There is not real threat to CoB macros here.

Perhaps not a real threat, it will be a bit more frustrating. I think that if they really wanted to cut down on AFK players, they should make it so macros stop looping once you get marked AFK or mark yourself AFK. That way, CoB macros work, and certain crafting macros work, leaving the real possible annoyances out, with the important macros alone.
