whats worse is the gear macros that get spammed to cause lag during contested fights.

They could fix that too. Just put a limit on the # of them you can use in a certain time period. Say you can use a maximum of 1 equip-item call per slot per minute. It's kind of stupid how folks do it. Heck, they should just keep logs of it and start banning the people that abuse it.

But yeah, to the actual change: good. QQ to all the folks that whine that they actually have to push buttons to play the game now.

I can't wait to see how the persistant instance change affects the lag on AB. I'm hoping it's going to cut the lag down a bit; raiding as a healer sucks when you're getting 1-2s spell lag =/

does this mean that all the click to cure buttons will no longer work? and what about use item abilitys?

will my fishbone earring macro still work?

EDIT: is this really gonna help lag issues or is this a way to help prevent botters who lag the system with useability harvest macros?

Normal everything will still be the same.

This stops people from putting like 20 abilities in one macro.

but if useability no longer works at all then a simple

/say I'm off to see the wizzy

/useability <call to city>

will not work after this goes live is that right or am I reading this thread wrong?

edit: grammer

and besides I thought that you could not cast more than two spells in a macro anyways? I am so lost...

You cannot queue more than one action, but you can macro as many (within limitations) as you want. Think of macros like harvesting macros, trying to harvest each possible node type and failing on all but the correct node (but creating server lag for all each failed try).

Also noone said useability would not work "at all" anymore.
