Party invite macro

I'm sure I've seen it somewhere, but I can't find it.

Is there a way to set the group loot to free-for-all inside a macro?

ie

/invite 2b
/loot free-for-all

For serious. Save a macro space and have some flexibility to boot.

Thanks. I'll check Jamba out, but I'm trying to avoid add-ons that are specific to mboxing. I still raid a bit, just dual boxing to mess around when i'm waiting for a raid to start or while I'm killing time.

Avoiding addons specific to boxing? Are you a masochist? Just disable stuff when you are raiding.

Anyway, as said before Jamba is your friend. It does a lot of other stuff too, but I especially like it, as I can have one ingame macro that invites any team I have configured, so I can swap out a toon, make a quick edit and jamba, and my macros work.

I use jamba even for solo just for the auto-sell, auto-repair and auto-buy features

Yeah, just hit the "Enter Solo Mode" button and you're good to go. Although happily the auto-sell, auto-buy, and auto-repair functions still work in Solo mode! Yay!

Eh, I hate relying on add-ons. I have the uncanny luck to get attached to add-ons where the authors suddenly go missing or on some sort of soul searching mission and they quit wow. I absolutely hate that feeling of not being able to play properly without "Add-on X". I especially am wary of add-ons that are too bloated with features. If I can do someting in a macro, thats good enough.

Also, I'm just dual-boxing--nothing overly complex. Mostly I want to be able to turn the box on and go.

I'll check Jamba out at some point. It sounds interesting.

relying on macros and placing its icon in an actionbar key is kinda like relying on addons that has the macros already made for you, in a simple button. erm... wow. same thing.

i use jamba solo as well. its awesome.

/script acceptgroup()

You can give a man a fish and he'll be fed for a day. Teach a man to fish and pretty soon he'll be bitching about the weather, bragging about the ones that got away and full of stories chock-full of derring-do....

I'm of the opinion that if you know how to do something manually, then fixing it is easy enough should something change. Relying on a macro that you've written yourself is nothing like relying on an add-on(that someone else created) that performs a bunch of different tasks for you. There is a much much greater chance that Blizzard will change something that will break an add-on on any given patch that comes out than Blizzard will change the ability to invite people into a group via macros and changing the loot priority.

I've been playing wow since dec 04--just like millions of other people. In that time, I've seen the default interface change from a clunky, featureless craptastic interface to one that is not so bad. Years ago, wow was not a lot of fun unless you had a lot of addons that changed the interface around. Every single patch that came out would break the addons, rendering 3 or 4 days of scrambling about to make changes, waiting on people to fix addons queing up to download them... bleh. After years of putting up with this, I feel that I am best served by using add-ons that serve a very specific purpose, have a large number of people supporting/developing them, and are used commonly by huge numbers of people. Everything else that I do, I use macros that I've either created myself, or I've seen on various forums and they work well for me.

I'm not knocking Jamba. I'm sure that it's an awesome addon. I just haven't had the time to read up on it and make up my mind if I want to use it.

fair enough. its there when you do decide to use it, but yea, hope those macros work out for you. as for me, i pull up a macro and go wtf is this? omg i wrote that?? imma dumbass. yea stuff like that. besides, i need room for more important macro stuffs, like attacks. for me if an addon can do something one of my macros is doing, then i use the addon and drop the macro for sake of macro space. yea we all have our own priorities. anyway... see you around!
