The "List of Commands" like doesn't work. It brings up the following message:

People still use the toolbar to do loopin macros? The list of commands, and the guide itself, doesn't mention the command /macro - this is superior for looping macros and also works if you want to divide a macro into sub-macros, and such. Much better than using /ui toolbar..

A dev-sponsered guide to creating recursive macros? What next? A Friday Feature on how to dupe credits?

While this was a nice guide and all, both it and the list of commands are rather dated.
Commonly-used commands such as /mount and /guildsay are absent, while the broken /group autoloot and its ilk remain.

OK I may get flamed for this but...
If your taking recursive macro out of the game, why are you showing people how to make them?
Some of the macros you included encourage AFK macroing. I really don't think this was a good thing to feature them since it is looked down upon by a majority of the community and you have been talking about removing them.
It looks like now your encouraging AFK macroing.
Just my 2 creds worth anyway.

FYI, I read last night in a stratics chat that came out before P10 (after the notice they were taking them out and the subsequential uproar), TH specifically states that recursive macros are NOT being taken out of the game....I'll do some digging and see if I can find it again.

That's ok, RankorCity... no need to search for it...I've got it stickied in my forum. 
[edit: well not the stratics HoC chat script but something more recent]

For what it's worth, I think the guide is great... everyone already knows how to make Buff Bots macros, so it really cannot cause any harm there.

The link to the command list is broken
It is updated now but will take up to 10 minutes to show. Sorry about that!

Ya know..I just can't help wincing that you guys put in the guide on how to be an AFK dancer in there. Or am I wrong?

The most helpful two macros I have ever made are:
Finding Sample Location:
- **Keep your vehicle targeted at all times**
- Open your Survey tool and choose a resource
- Hit the ALT key
- Manually mount your vehicle/mount
- Begin the macro by hitting the F# key on the tool bar
- Ride to the nearest location then hit the F# key again
/dismount; /pause 3; /survey; /pause 2; /mount;
Redoing Mask Scent
- **Keep your vehicle targeted at all times**
- Begin the macro by hitting the F# key on the tool bar
- Rideon until your MaskScent breaksthen hit the F# key again
/dismount; /pause 3; /maskscent; /pause 2; /mount;

I really can't believe it... this is not only validating afk playing, but actually promoting it... This is a growing problem in the game, and needs to be taken care of soon.

Who has that kind of time? LOL. I use:
/dismout; /pause 1; /survey; /mount;
Two other points: One, make sure your vehicle is at a complete, or nearly complete stop before using the macro or you will fly off your vehicle and be too far away to re-mount. I prefer a speeder bike as it stops faster than a swoop. Two, if you press ALT again while driving, you can actually open the survey tool while mounted.
Definitely one of the most useful macros out there.
