Kill the bots now...

I have no problem with that. Puts the player back in "player character". I used to AFK-macro back when I sold resources, but with harvester nowadays, why bother? At any rate, I'm all for it.

Well atleast they are doing something. The only ones that will well take a hit form that change will be the Merchant's who will have to retype everything hundred's of times over. I prodict a rise in Merchant droidsale's.

I can hear the cantina noise in the background right now. My toon is just chilling in the Mos Eisley cantinia getting rid of the BF collected from a long day of learning Squad leader. Now as I sit back and relax, I begin to browse through the forums in search of that last Squad Leader in the Kaurigalaxy to teach me I discover that macro's may be removed from the game. And the only thing I can say is that I'm overjoyed by that. Just want to tell you guys that when I fight I don't have a macro. I press F1 through F12, and Shift F1-Shift F12, and not one of those is a macro! Yea believe it! For just a little practice you too can battle without using bots. I know it's hard to hit that CoB button every 2 minutes or whatever it is. Everytime I start stacking the commands to attack I see how small I can get that little scrollbar in the command que list. Hopefully soon as I chill in the cantina I won't have to go cruise the forums for entertainment. I can sit, flirt with the dancers, talk to the patrons and dance to the music and be entertained. I hope you guys enjoy this change as much as I. I do have a macro I use to gather up a squad. I'm not at all phased by the idea of having to press a button once every minute or so. Hopefully macroing will still be allowed. Just not recursive. Cookie for the Dev's, here you go.

I have to stand by my statement (on page.. 16? geez, that's a long thread and growing fast). I simply don't think it's possible to prevent non-recursive macros..

With /alias, /macro, and /ui action, there's simply too many ways to do it. The only way to successfully remove recursive macros, would essentially be to remove Macros from the game entirely.
