To ensure that macro usage aligns with our overall goals for addons, there have been some minor changes made to macro capabilities that were recently deployed to the live client:
- Macros are prevented from setting a target marker on more than 3 units within a very short time.
And the following restrictions only apply while the player is in an active encounter:
- Macros are no longer allowed to send chat messages to chat channels that are not exclusive to the group (custom chat channels, guild, communities, etc).
- Macros are still allowed to send chat in group-exclusive channels (/raid, /party, /rw, etc), but are prevented from sending multiple messages to those channels within a very short time. In addition, all members of the group must be inside the instance or macro chat will not be allowed in these channels.
- Macros are still allowed to send chat in whispers but the whisper target must also be in the instance. Macros are also prevented from sending multiple whispers within a very short time.
