    Using macro keys is actually a disadvantage in most cases, because it locks you into actions you may want/need to cancel on the fly due to changing conditions of a fight.
    I think automation tools are probably more sophisticated than you might realize.

    I'd rather just do it myself honestly. I tried a macro in the past and it didn't help. I ended up wasting resources because it was still using skills when the boss wasn't near me. The only time the macro was somewhat decent but still not as effective as just learning it myself was when I used it on a DPS dummy. In truth it made me practice weaving myself and now I can pull pretty good numbers. Plus whats the fun it pressing one button and letting it do all the work?

    animations were never intended and should be deleted, or all who use them banned!!
    Khajiit tail moves then standing still, it this an reason for ban? Hide tail inside robe and look at the Argonian at the alchemy station trying figure out an potion, he will not be able to hide that tail even with an long skirt.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Animation cancelling is cheating. Yet Zos are promoting it? I can't believe it... This is disgusting. I'm seriously considering cancelling my sub after seeing this.

    C'mon... This isn't new at all! It's just part of the game, another skill to have. But if you can't do it, there are ways to push 30k without it, and weave a few heavy attacks instead. Go that route of you must. Enough for any non leaderboard content.

    They are.
    Not for this game though.

    For any game. When most people think of macros, they think of functions included with mice and keyboards which are very simple. There are other tools which, when combined, basically have full scripting languages and can read basically any kind of output.

    Animation cancelling no matter ones personal feelings on it is not considered cheating or exploiting, labelling it so is just spreading misinformation.
    Light attack weaving (what the loading screen mentions) has become a core part of ESO's action base gameplay now.

    And i am sure most players on PC use keys macro.

    Having effectively 8(mouse hand uses 3) usable fingers on PC opposite to 6 on consoles is what makes a difference.

    What is your basis for calling animation canceling cheating. Whatever it is you are very wrong.

    Zos has even clearly stated animation canceling is an accepted part of the game which very much trumps whatever OP thinks.

    No. While I expect some players do use macros, mostly due to lack of actual skill, top players do not use macros as they can do better on their own given things are not a constant.. Macros will mess you up if they mess up.

    Ahhh, beautiful. Now every time someone claims that weaving is an unintended mechanic I will just post that absolutely tremendous tip and a screenshot of the same line in new player rewards.

    Zos has been pressured into this by the god awful elitist community we have on this game. It is an exploit, Zos know it, but the elitists on this game have forced Zos's hand. Now they are ACTIVELY PROMOTING CHEATING?

    No they have not. You have no basis for this. I think you are just speaking out of emotion Certainly not from fact.

    I agree. Everyone exploiting animation canceling ought to be banned. End of discussion.

    And you would be factually wrong just as the OP is. I would suggest avoiding spreading information that is known to be false.

    It has been clearly stated by Zos that AC is an official part of the game. Without a doubt that means it cannot be considered an exploit of an cheat. Those are the facts, plan end simple.

    stop considering, just do it. Un-sub, uninstall, leave and never come back.

    You'll be doing this community a big favor by having less stupidity in the player base
