Love that song that Robotnik has, did you know that the guy who sings it is Paul Shortino? The lead singer of Quiet Riot
I know this is abusing the system, but i just report spam people like that so i can enjoy a temp ignore, i can’t stand that crap clogging up my chat log.
Most of the people who tie macros to abilities do it for fun. At least everyone I knew who tied /s and /y stuff to abilities did anyway. Nobody really thought it was anything other than cheese to go with the ham for amusement though and everyone who does it knows they aren’t that special.
IMHO Stuff like this only gets annoying when it is on something that has a short CD and/or it’s spammed like someone putting a speech macro on like fireball… Need to make a hale human fire mage in a blue pointy hat+robes and a stick/cane with a red top for some lvl 10 fun
I use to think it was so cool to spam “GET OVER HERE!” when dk’s first came out.
LOL
I wanted to put “get over here” on one of my death knight’s skills but never bother…
My personal favorite was a DH who bound “Its Morphin’ Time!” to his metamorphosis ability…quickly followed by his rotation with “Mastadon!” “Pteradactyl!” “Triceratops!” “Sabre Tooth Tiger!” “Tyrannosaurus!”
I was barely able to play i was cracking up so hard. It was just so unexpected.
I saw an evoker player who bound “/yell DRACARYS!” to every use of flame breath. Every single time.
I hope they know most people /ignore them. So if they make any calls or talk to anyone, they wont get anything back.
I think it’s cool on long CDs, but short ones it gets old.
Yeah it’s pretty annoying. Not nearly as bad as the cringe lords who say “uwu snacky time nom nom” whenever they eat.
I got one with my rez macro
“I summon the fuzzy creatures that bringith the light. I summon the fancy spells that fizzle all night. Let nature come forth and heal thy wounds, and resurrect this one that is an utter noob.”
The hunters that have emote macro’s for their pets snuggling up on them and purring or whatever make me cringe so hard.
I don’t macro text to abilities but I do macro toys sometimes.
That’s not a macro, it’s an addon primarily used on RP realms which automatically does it.
I have one of these: When I lust, I /roar
It’s not very often so I don’t think it bothers people but I’m not changing it
back during icc, i think, i had “PADDING THER METERS!!” macroed to the big healing totem cd because it became an inside joke with my guildies- i’d pop it early and just b4 the fight ended to do just that, heh.
macro all my Rogues combo point generators to “/yell Kachow” and all the finishers to “/yell Kachigger”
Lol, I, too, played MK.
I got sick of those myself, but I eventually decided to start having fun with it by typing something completely immersion-breaking for my pet in response.
Like “Greenguy’s swog, Dodogama, dons a tiny pair of glasses and begins doing his taxes.” or “Greenguy’s dreadroc, Flockamole, decides to grab some Taco Bell. Anyone want anything?”
