I am surely not the only one who thinks using macros to gain mechanical advantages in the game (don't try to BS, that is exactly what macro'ing unjamming did, made unjamming a "tap one button" affair for macro'ers and a distracting tap-dance for everyone else) is not even gray, it's downright black and cheating.
I won't BS you if you'll quit shoveling it my way.
At most, the macro saved you 2 seconds of hitting left, ctrl, ctrl 6 times (go ahead, time yourself; with just a little practice, my 8-year-old daughter could do it in 3 seconds).
As for "macro'ers," are we going to get our own movie, like Hackers?
GOOGLE IT! IT TAKES ALL OF 5 MINUTES TO FIGURE OUT! You make it sound like we have some kind of mystical ability to manipulate computers that others can never hope to attain. Unfortunately for you, my only superpower is the patience of a god; Thor, perhaps, or maybe Zeus...
Frankly, I am all in favor of the game rewarding intelligence, resourcefulness, creativity, and I don't even care if someone wants to buy a $50 mouse to simplify their life, but I have had it with whingers coming in here and harassing the Devs into fixing something that wasn't even broken to begin with instead of, oh, I don't know, the hideous lag problems, or the game optimization, or any of the hundreds of things that are far more important than your fanciful notions about the game balance and target audience, but then, that's the kind of person I am: OPINIONATED!
