Therefore my point that it is not Decal which is bad, but the use some people make of it.

Decal is associated with combat macroing since easy mode plugins allowing even the computer illiterates to macro appeared.

Remove that association, and only the shiny part of Decal, which the majority of Decal users enjoy, would be left.


And I don't expect those who use Decal to A/UCM to agree with me anyway

So Korrigan, explain how you would remove U/ACM from Decal without breaking buffing plugins....?

Errr ... I'm sure you know that war spells and offensive life/critter spells are different from buffing spells ? I never buffed with Cassius ring of Fire personnally, but I'm interested in your experiences in this matter

<< It like if someone get drunk and runs someone down with a car then we should remove all alcohol and cars >>


nope, but we do forbid drunk driving, don't we?


anyway these real life comparisons become pretty silly pretty fast, korrigan just posted a simple request, you can agree or not, but no need to start flames over it.

good god I hate all the whiners, if you dont like decal dont friggin use it, end of story, case closed.


AC will never be like it once was where you had no buffbots, no macros, etc I played in the beta and I played since '99 and all you AC Hippies who wish for the grand old game to return must have forgot how hard it was and boring to actually play back in the pre-decal era. Why do you guys have to bring this crap up every single friggin time? Don't beat a dead horse, let sleeping dogs lie, shuddup already and dont use the damn thing or its plugins , but most importantly.. stop the whining , pissing, bitching and moaning about it, AC of old is DEAD, the newer AC is and always will contain exploits, cheats, decal or 3rd party apps, just shut up about it for god's sake. Play the game as YOU want to play the game, if someone uses decal and say eltank or a combater they will eventually get busted and banned, I turn in every single UCM'er I can find because I hate the idea of someone cheating, BUT I still load up 30+ plugins including eltank for the OTHER features it has, I would not play the game without it. Oh big friggin deal I am a gimp and cant play the game without decal, I never said I couldnt, I said I wont. And all you guys who are statistic dweebs saying that only 25% of the population would quit if decal was broken forever are fooling yourselves (and no you stats police I have not conducted a scientific poll to back up my claim, but hey neither have YOU) I would lose about 60% of my guild based on what they said they would do if decal was not fixed, and we do not have macroers and hard core ACMers either just casual players.


DECAL = GOOD, whining about decal = just plain stupid


keep up the good work decal and plugin Devs!!!!!

I believe that decal should not support both combat macroes AND buff bots AND trade bots. They have all ruined the game in equal measure.

I am no fan of combat macros, but buff bots and trade bots have helped the game IMHO. I remember the constant spamming in any public spot - "r u a mage? can u buff meh plz?" and of course the lovely subway seller spam - "SELLING TRADE HEALTH ELIXIRS" "FOR SALE TONS OF SWORDS COME SEE ME IN NW CORNER" etc etc ad nauseam every 2 seconds...


It is so much nicer and simpler for people to find buffs, portals, and items to buy now - I really don't understand why people have a problem with those bots.

Oh, I'm remembering the spam very very quickly! "/a NE1 @ mansion with critter who can help me with a few buffs?" I'm looking forward to the bots returning and reducing the begging spam.


Hey Devs, I'll take a version of decal without transparency to get BS/2 and the buffbots back in business more quickly . I'll deal with things being on the screen.
