ok, I'm sure someone else said this, but no one should use /p macros EVER, unless its a RDM's Convert, or WHM's Pro-ra/Shell-ra.
Most annoying /p macros I've seen so far came from a SMN in my LS. She had about 3 /p lines for every summon.
/p "Come Forth Ramuh {Thunder} {Flash} {Bang}"
my god...

Most annoying /p macros I've seen so far came from a SMN in my LS. She had about 3 /p lines for every summon. /p "Come Forth Ramuh {Thunder} {Flash} {Bang}" my god... Seems like the general consensus here is... SMNs and their Macros suck. like 9 outta 10 people so far after mentioned this... I don't put anything in party chat unless it's something that's worthy of everyone knowing. And if you want to be cute or witty with bizarre monologues of dialog pertaining to your actions, use echo please. Nobody else needs or wants to see it.
If I was to level RDM, you can bet your *** I would put somthing like "OMG AGGRO!" in my convert macro.
I remember a RDM having
/p "Don't mind me, I'm converting." First time I saw that, I /shout back "To what... Catholicism?" Yeah, took me a second to realize what was going on lol But yeah, in the end, Convert, Prora/Shellra should be the ONLY /p macros used in parties, everything else is meh. I used to know a SMN that had /em, /say, /p, and /emo setup in his macros. It was something like this.
/welcome {Avatar name here} /s Now, kick some ***!! /p Oh, well I think I help out too. /s Time for you to rest your soul. /goodbye {Avatar name here} I think I saw almost the same setup for a bst soloing also. A BLM joined my Dynamis LS that has /p stuff in his macros. I /blist him for the runs sometimes.
MNKs who have /p macros for Boost, should be /blisted and /spamslapped.
The short stint my brother leveled MNK he had a /em boost macro.
After about 5 minutes I took the keyboard and removed it for him. Excesspain said: The short stint my brother leveled MNK he had a /em boost macro.

Yes i think some people's macros are anoying but some are funny and make me laugh like my friend PLD who has something like this
/p FLASH!!! ( o)(o ) Boobs!! n_n that made me laugh and i myself used to have a macro for every song of my bard until my husband told me "babe, that might be anoying for some ppl, more if we are fighting kirin and you dont let us read the chat" >_> i felt bad and erased all my macros xD that was long time ago... now i only have macro for Finale so the RDMs know i used it and 1 macroi in my BST that i will never take off. /p My milkshake brings all the pets to the yard... CHARM<t>!!!

To the OP, the rule I use for /p /l macros is pretty simple.
Does the party/alliance/linkshell need to know about it? Yes? Put it in the macro. Otherwise, don't bother. If you want to keep track of stuff, you can always use /echo instead. Kungfuhustle said: MNKs who have /p macros for Boost, should be /blisted and /spamslapped. Agreed. Nobody gives a ***that they're boosting. Why would anyone give a ***that they're boosting? And ditto on SMN macros. Why, oh why, do you need 3 lines of spam to bring out Garuda? Is it necessary? Is it in the SMN handbook that you have to drop 3 lines before the avatars will come out or something? TBH, I hate all role playing in parties. We all know you're not really a *** taru, ok? You don't need to put "aru waru" at the end of your ***. It's not cool, or cute. It's creepy and *** sad. Be yourself, it's ok... My brd in my merit last night literally had every song on /p and it drove me nuts! The only "talking" macros I have are Pro/Shell5, Stun order for rdm/drk or maybe even Chainspell stun, and my new one is Tomahawk order for Einherjar..but that is it for me and most others are crazy annoying.
Side Note: /Assist is ok People actually talk like Tarus?

I like for DDs to put what ws they're using in /p chat that way i kno if i can have a possible magic burst coming up. Yeah, I have a few party macros that have a purpose, things like :
{Gather Together} {Protectra} + {Shellra} in 2 {Party} {Sleep} <t> {Attack} {No Thanks} and things of that nature, that matter. That's pretty much it. oh yea i def have the
/p [casting spell] [sleepga] [run away!] and /p [casting spell] [escape] [gather together] I get really annoyed cause I prepare for convert the few times I actually need it with like composure regen2... and still like random people heal me even blms. Seriously rdms go to low hp it happens its normal. People who aren't paying enough attention to realize who is getting hit just grinds my ge... erm well ya know. Like when I have to convert 5 times in a row on blm to keep sorc ring active cause same person keeps healing me no matter how many times I say don't before they realize somethings weird about a blm losing 200+ hp ever couple of seconds with no mobs around.

Seriously, our LS RDM didn't have a macro for the longest time, everytime he'd convert I'd have a *** heart attack. My life span is shorter because of him...

I immediately check to see if what ate him is coming after me next. Might need to get that sleep/warp macro in action. Call me selfish lol Suni said: Personally, only macros i use that have /p text is Protectra/Shellra, Convert, stun and Elegy. I just don't enjoy filling up the /p chat with loads of <calls> and random quotes for abilities. Ditto. Guess they maybe helpful to newbs even if they are annoying /p macros. The majority of them are unessisary and I find very irritating :\ I keep my opinions to myself within the party though up until the point where someone feels they need to spam <calls> in all their macros as well . . . /slap Nieko said: Dasva said: [quote=XxnumbertwoxxPay attention and you wont have a heart attack...

But those macros only last thru qufim. Any RDM who uses convert macro should be smart is all. No one should have to worry. Sure you may look back at the RDM just to see if they got aggro or something but 99.9% of the time there is never any need to panic. I'd never put a warning convert macro on my RDM convert.

You don't need to watch the rdm you should already being watching tank and realize he still has the mob... or that rdms don't go to the red instantly.
