Macro farming is not going to work.

shush, why are u guys saying things like that? it might have the effect of making them actually wonder a bit and even use their brains before trolling about things they dont have a clue about :P

[Slayra]

Yay! Macros!

[[PhiberOpticks]]

Uhhh, does anyone know if you have to buy macros or what?

[vasil]

I think you pay for Macro SLOTS and then you write them yourself.

[Stormcrow]

And does that mean real $$$ or in game $$$. Or maybe spend some kind of earned points?

Kinah, in game money.

Hm, that's very unusual to have to buy macro slots, I've never quite seen any game like that before. I'm not sure if I understand the reason to either unless just for money dump. I wonder how powerful macros really are if you need to pay for the slots.

[justamemory]

money dump probably. how much in-game currency do they cost, does anyone know? Like how proportional is it: is it for rich b1tch3s of the pwn, or is it like paying gil for a chocobo in FFXI or auction house tax?

Looks like a pretty sophisticated macro system, better than CoX. The Buy thing is odd, however. I doubt it's simply a misinterpretation. I wonder how many strings you can put together, and what other antibotting measures they have in place, if any. We shall see. The only time I used macros was in CoH for changing forms on my Khelds, and chat text code.

I dont think that the warrior classes will use macros a lot , the healers need them more and the buffers too (it gets annoying when you start to buff the whole party the same buffs several times)

[Celebrity]

The variable concept seems pretty fun, i'm already thinking some ways to use it).

Correction: the word "buy" is a mistranslation, according to NCsoft Austin.
