From what I understand it will eliminate any that will call on a tool bar slot. But then I could be wrong.
that would make macros virtually useless then

In THEORY this would be good but it would completly kill the game as a whole.
First of all, am I the only one disgusted by the fact that people used to be able to solo a NS Elder without even being at the keyboard?
Second of all, I never use a CoB macro, and I constantly have it active when I'm fighting most everything. It's really not all that tedious to keep it going - in fact, I think it adds an element of excitement/skill to combat.
Third of all, anybody that thinks the loss of the looping macro will discourage beginning crafters is just plain wrong. Okay, so your crafting macro doesn't loop... is it really that hard to push 1 button every minute or so, that will start the macro back up again? Guess what, people used to master crafting professions without ANY MACRO AT ALL. It's not impossible. People have become too lazy in this game, that's all.
Don't even get me started on entertainers...
Here is TH's post requarding this Scroll down and you will see his response that goes like this:

If you do as you say and are elimiting recursive macros and check for an infite loop in a macro and don't allow that, then I think this is fine. I can live with it, for sure. But, if you are just getting rid of the /macro and /ui action toolbarSlotxx and the like then we are going to have MAJOR problems. I think a lot of the community is up in arms about this right now because you haven't been specific enough. Is /macro and /ui aciton toolbarSlotxx going away with this change? Because a great deal of my non-recursive macros use these commands!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We'll have more info for sure later this week, but for now, I wouldnt worry (this change won't be happening until well after Publish 10). Something along the lines of a time limit or a check for an infinite loop is what we will most likely see.
CLICKY
TH is hard to quote so I highlighted his response in yellow, see the aboe clicky to read the original post!

joinkey.. if it doesnt open your crafting tools you gotta press more buttons
Where did you hear that it wouldn't? From what I've read, the only changes are that macros won't be able to instigate macros... nothing about not being able to initialize a crafting tool.
