macroing is gone its useless you wont gain skills at all now
you can max a stat and a fighting skill in a week np
the prowess system has made this a game you play to advance now instead of not playing being a faster method via macroing
and it has also extremely accellorated the speed at which you can be effective and maxed and able to compete
almost anything you do in game will reward you with points to buy stats or skills what took me 2 months now takes a week after this last wipe
