Sorry but this is really the kind of thing that i hate.

Why the fuck would i want macros to make things ? What s the next one ? A macro that play the game for myself ?

And in the case of the exit to menu macro...it s really borderline imo. There s already no wait time when we quit the game so people are abuing it especially on races/hardcore. It s even worth with a macro.

The only one i could consider is the /oos one but i prefer to wait GGG to fix things rather.

Nothing agaisnt you but i pretty much say the same things each time the macro subject came out.

I hate when video game players talk about laziness. We play the game to have fun, not to work in it. I am against extensive macros too, but these simple text command macros are really OK. The exit and portal thing is GGG's fault anyway, they could easily put the countdowns we know from cutthroat leagues to other leagues, but they chose not to (I have no idea why).

Players will always find ways to play more effectively, hating them for it is silly.

...not neccessary to keep your viability up. Sadly, the actual situation is, that there are so MASSIVE and FREQUENT desync "loopbacks" that I see no excuse not to use the command - and clearly its also not practicable to type it manually while fighting in difficult situations that demand /oos - not even as you can recall your last command instead of typing it new each time. Additionally: I can understand and (to some degree) accept that monsters may move out of sync - but its kind of hilarious how far MY OWN char can move while I stand still, sometimes my own position differs a half screen and more from where I should be...

take /itemlevel: what does it do worth considering a ban, beside saving some time with a non-gamebreaking feature? It doesnt 'automate' any (really) game-related aspect of your char (like controlling your movement or using flasks would do)

To me, automation starts with programmed behaviour, interaction with informations taken out from the game (example: checking the health level and start actions based on that). This also includes interaction with any positioning information, so also stash/trade handlings etc. These (may) do not (directly) influence the gameplay, but since there's no possibility to differ what such an intrusion really (all) did, let open no room for tolerance.
