Party invite macro

[Spin]

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.

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!
