And, it is not a shame that I value things differently than you do. C'est la vie.

So, its alot of fun to organize your macro (and possibly other macroers characters)? Would you say its more fun to organize and maintain an effective UCMing allegiance, group, fellowship, or etc than it is to play the game?


You aren't Que` from MT are ya? I always wondered how that monarchy could literally never talk to anyone while they were in the dungeons that they were in and obviously never were there..well at least 1 person in the irc chat room was to monitor them...correct?.....


I guess its kind of like the mob? Crooked and dirty way to do things, but the results and maybe even the infamy of it all makes up for how everyone else views you?

Peoples' misconceptions with UCMing are vast, and it would be a great task for me to attempt to explain.


No I am not Que', but I am good friends with him.

A pity this degenerated into a pro-anti macro bashing session. All I'd like to know is where do you macro? Because I don't care anymore about macroes, but I do care that whomever is hunting in the same areas as me has the wherewithall to decide not to kill the mobs I am killing and not loot the mobs I have killed. It's a simple concept, but macroes don't understand concepts, that is why I prefer to play my toons, and not let a machine do it. Then again some people that do actually play still steal and loot my kills.

It mainly seems to be the UCM'ers that come up with multiple definitions to fit their needs. Everyone else tends to stick with Turbine's definition:


Allowing your character to gain experience points by engaging in combat without being at the keyboard, ready to respond to an Administrator on demand (this activity is commonly called a "Combat Macro".

It is not that the game is tedious it is impossible for melees to hunt without buffs - try and run your lvl 20 without buffs throgh matron hive or lvl 40 through ravs.


Edit

(opps should have been in the other tank post LOL)

In any case it is appropriate becuase it is round about way of saying if you don't have plugins to AIDE your play then this AC! might as well just mule and organize your stuff or craft becuase not much else you can do in the game) Except you lvl 150+ melee that can buff self. Try and do that again. Maybe you just need to be ucm by GW at the eater pit yard on the boulders. ,,,Why the hell does turbine let that continue?,,,

In case you were unaware, that scenario you so accurately portrayed is a DIRECT result of XP Chains and Combat Macroing. It USED to be possible to hunt melee without buffs.. same with Archers. Melee's were very selective over which buffs they used, and I have always been self-buffing since forever.. My first character was self-buffing, as are all my characters since. It's still possible to play a Melee self-buff, but it is currently pretty difficult to play a melee without ANY buffs in a dungeon that is supposed to be accurate for your level. This is a direct result of all the massive leveling due to XP chains and Combat Macros. This insane flow of XP caused Turbine to have to "up" their content levels and therefore rebalance all items and creatures in the process.


Thank you for helping to prove my point that Combat Macroing has been significantly harmful to the game (in combination with other exploits have even further damaged the game).

Drakier, in case you don't remeber the spawns and monster stats have changed since 5 years agao, the monsters you fight would have to be adjusted so you could fight melee without buff bots - but the game as EVOLVED as today - It is Impossible - I would love to play without buff bots but it is almost impossible today - tweak the game and i will come.....

<< I would love to play without buff bots but it is almost impossible today >>


Impossible you say? Hmm,, guess I can add "Does the almost impossible with ease" to my resume.
