does everyone always macro

[thegrizbot]

i was wondering if there's anyone else in this game who actually plays it instead of having their character sit at the bank and macro for 3 weeks and then be a GM and pvp.


if there is, please let me know

[thegrizbot]

and yes, i played this game a few years back in the public shards and there were people that became GM's by lvling and playing and farming all while sitting at their keyboard

I would be playing but currently it is taking 1k of each FS regs to gain me .8 in resist Still got 4 points to go!

I play when I am on. When I am doing other stuff I am macroing I tihnk that goes for alot of other people here to. You need to play to make $$ to macro.

When I'm there, I play. When I'm not, I macro.

Do the tedious tasks, like resist gaining, when you're not there. It makes your play time that much more enjoyable.

when i play i macro other accounts at same time, other wise i dont macro.

but i hear you, primarilly because i live in australia in such a diff time zone.

Dear lord there are some fucking retards that play this game. Apparently if everyone is macro'ing that means they arent done with their character and will be out on the feild or w/e when they're done.... its common sense just wait for evryone to finish. Idk ifyou've noticed but about 6 of us just started this shard about 4 days ago and the skill gain is slow? No eff'ing brainer people are macro'ing.....

UO's skill gains are also incredibly unbalanced from one skill to the next. Some skills just cannot be feasibly raised by "going out and adventuring". I think we all love skill based MMOs when compared to class based MMOs, but macroing is one of their key downfalls.

u dont need a 7xgm b4 you can do anything in this game.
and skills gain is proportional...

Silex is probably talking about magic resist haha

i know ive been playing not macroing, or playing with a bit of macroing tossed in.

[ironfistmax]

I hunt at night for 45 mins about, get some gold to macro, then macro. Once my character is finished I will probably be pvping only for 1-2 hours a night.

I entered some tournaments but get annoyed when I can't win because my character isn't finished. So I won't be entering anymore 1v1 tournaments until he is done. I will enter the other tournament types though.

I know you dont need a 7x char to go out but when all you have is gm wrestle and meditation its still pretty useless...

[Dante]

how can you gm meditation without having any mana based skills decently high, magical wizard hat?

Ill admit im just macroing my char to become 7x as fast as possible. I really hate pvping on a char thats not finished. That's just me though.
