I want to get most, if not all, of the Macros I'm going to want to use figured out and tested before the Emu goes live. I started to work on this and immediately had problems with my old loot macro. I then found out that because of a container problem that macro wouldn't work. Are there any issues that would cause macros not to work on the test center at this point? Is this to big of a question? Is there a better place to talk about general use macros such as looting macros, changing clothes macros, afk macros, etc?

You heard right, loot macros are disabled right now to prevent afk looters.

Is that why? Or is it just to prevent issues until a bug can be fixed? Why would they prevent AFK looting, but not AFK harvesting, XP grinding, etc?

From what I heard it was because they were already having problems with afk looters in certain locations

What's an AFK looter? Is it just someone who sets up a combat macro with a looting routine in it? Why would someone do that? What's the best thing you could hope to get by doing so? How was AFK looting causing a problem?
