All this whining about macros and addons, why? Game mechanics are still the same, you do not get super human powers, lol.
All its changed is : the amount of information available to the player, and a better game-human interface.
In WoW, on tournaments , we didn't have addons and guess what, the players involved didn't suddenly stop being good, they didn't instantly become scrubs, their performance was unchanged.
I couldn't care less, about the implementation of macros and addons... because i can do "all that" in my head and don't need the help, tho making it less of a strain would help when gaming for long periods of time.
Macros and addons are so much help for people who can't play, (scrubs) or are average... because their brain can't process high amounts of information at the speed and in the way a pro gamer does.
So you see, my dear baddie... you argue not vs pro players, but vs your "own kind".
The only beef i have with Bioware , is that they do not treat all their customers equally.
They restrict macros to players with razer products.
