Macro programs allow players to take full advantage of AC recycle times, letting a macro using player to spit a stream of projectiles effortlessly. For those who don't use macros, it is possible to achieve nearly the same rate of fire (can't beat a computer program's reflexes), but they can't put out a fast firing rate while maneuvering their mech. Many say "Macros don't give you a higher DPS, though". While this is true, those same people forget about the cockpit shake caused by being hit with AC fire. While being pelted by a macro ac/2 jager, aiming becomes exceptionally difficult. Macro programs are also used to cheat the Ultra AC/5 jam system, rapidly switching weapon groups to automatically unjam them.
Macros should be banned in order to give all players a level playing field.
Just like better computers should be banned to give people who can't afford them a chance.
Maybe ban good audio hardware and headsets / speaker setups to give people without positional audio a chance, too.
Or ban people with good internet speeds to give those without it a chance. Same with anyone who's cheating by living closer to the servers than you do.
Or, in short:
Those of us who have BRAINS should be banned to give YOU a chance.
