I'm willing to agree with you in regards to the FIRST person to do it. Once the Macros were publicly available, however, it became ridiculous.

Many computer viruses are examples of incredibly clever programming too. Being clever doesn't make them beneficial however.

Like Roho said the first person to do the math knew what she/he was doing after that its all "cut and paste".

Now, let me first give you some background. I am currently a non-hologrinder grinding musician. And, I know that these buff bots are stealing some of our healing exp.
But, that said, these buff bot macros are pretty cool. Someone put a lot of thought into those. Someone really had to think about the right stats, the right amount of pause between flourishes to get the most out of each, as well as buff timing. This is not like the final assembly crafting macros where someone learned the commands, tried it once, and there it was. This one took A LOT of work and a lot of effort. The fully AFK interaction with other players is also quite impressive.
I mean, to be able to fully communicate with your group before during and after the buff and being able to buff all three stats (on master musicians/master dancers) in less than 10 minutes while managing Action all the time. Plus being able to know the time in between each "show" to sit and regen. That's just impressive. It really is. Even with all its ill benefits to grinding entertainers, I have to give credit to the first one that came up with this idea.
