In the beginning, there was the command line...

Seriously... I prefer typing rarely used spells rather than managing more than one page of macros (for a given job/sub/situation combo) or going through menus every time I want to do the 21st most common thing.

I wish they'd give us Ctrl-Shift-number and Alt-Shift-number for 40 macros per page or something, but until then, I think typing is often the best available option for things that didn't fit in your macro set.

If you're a good typist, menu interface isn't necesarily faster.

Exactly. And don't get me wrong, I use my menu too. But I can type fast enough most of the time that I don't need to.

And ever since, noobs have been bitching that there isn't a GUI version. STFU and learn how to type ls -a.


..Ahem. Yeah, most of the time it's quicker to type, especially when it's laggy. In Beiseiged, it could very well take you fourty seconds to pick a spell out of your menu, when you could type it in 10-15.

I hope it doesn't take me 10-15 seconds to type in any spell, regardless of where I am. ><;

I've always used <t>, <stpc> and <stnpc> in all my macros and have little diffculty tabbing through my macro menus with a Dual Shock controller. I just use the keyboard for conversation.

It's mostly an issue for people who type commands; macros just have to be fixed once, but having to type a command target every time kinda sucks, if you're not a very accurate typist like me.

For some reason, my typing goes to shit when my computer is running slow.
