The issue is the removal of the looping macros. Players like the OP and myself are in this boat where I've leveled characters multiple times in this game (coming back from time to time) and right now, I no longer have those characters due to server wipes. I really just dont have the time to level characters like I used to.
As weird as it may sound, the looping macro allowed me to get really excited about playing this game. I could advanced my characters enough to feel like i'm actually making progress and excited to have the characters I once had before at the level they where at. Due to life I cant sit in front of my PC grinding away, so my play time will go way down.
Bring it back please. it wasn't hurting anyone honestly.
