Before I say anything about this, automation = 1 keypress resulting in many more actions without further input from the player.
Now with that out of the way, regular WoW macros do not support conditionals, yet GSE does. It can be used to rotate your CDs for you without any extra thoughts. Seems rather automated to me.

I don’t even know what that is.

Gnome Sequence Enhancer. It can be used as a macro with “if” statements, which is not in the game on purpose because you can automate rotations with it.
Why do you care?

Do you think someone should be allowed to literally press 1 button over and over again and have an addon do the rotation for you?
That’s why I care.

Because they care about the game’s integrity and economy?

Feels a lot like Vanilla Decursive did, and that got nerfed. Interesting that it’s been able to fly under the radar.

Does it decide what spell to use for you by looking at the curses on a target, and pressing a button would automatically choose the correct decurse/cleanse?
That’s interesting. It does seem to go agaisn’t what Blizzard would want.

It’s been a loooong time lol (patch 1.7 I think?) since I used the original form of Decursive, but IIRC it automatically targeted raid members that your class could dispel debuffs on and then used the appropriate dispel ability. The way to use it was by creating a /decursive macro that you put on your hotbar and hammered all fight if you were on curse duty.

Isn’t that the same function as a script
I dont think gse has IF conditionals, it just goes to the next step whatever the skill is ready or not.
I see. It is similar in the sense that you only have to use 1 button and have the addon do your job, in a sense. Decursing should be done manually, as it obviously was changed as it is now. So yes, they are similar on that front.
What do you mean? WoW does not support scripts, only macros, and macros by design do not include if statements.
For example, spamming X key would go through ability 1, 2, 3, 4.
Under a normal macro, if 3 was on CD, the macro would stop working until that ability is ready again.
GSE bypasses that and goes to the next.
It effectively works just like a if, however.
ugh…here we go again 
YOU dont get to define what automation is in BLIZZARDS game, guy…BLIZZARD does.
Do I need to start posting links to blue responses about this joke again?
Heres one…READ IT.

No it doesnt it, actually having a if conditional would change EVERYTHING.
With a if conditional you could set up a macro that would use shield block on warriors only when expires.
Right now, if you try to macro that in on gse, you will throw away shield block charges or not using it enough. Its much better to do rotations by yourself rather than macro them in.

you mean like the in game /castsequence macro already does?
I do just this with druid…ONE key pressed over and over and over again to run my rotation with /castsequence.
thread muted…lol

This is nothing what this thread is about.
not quite there yet.
While that is fair, I still think it shouldn’t bypass an unready ability, nor should you be able to put an entire rotation just on 1 button.
Put a long CD on that macro, see what happens when the unready ability comes up.
so you were LYING when you said…
Because thats EXACTLY what /castsequence does.
it still works guy…I do it. I put the long CD LAST in the rotation and have a reset.
Keep trying.
Combustion sounds like a great idea to just put on a macro like that, right?
