    Not only should the attack spell be typed out but you need to be required to type the name of the target you intended to hit.

    Spamming AEO or macroing a command is for theme park carebears.

    /Fireball level 5 @ Ikilledyourmom8
    /Swordslice level 4 @ Veteran Lizard Shaman

    Then we would find out who the real players are! 

    As another thread discussed yesterday, this is not about entertainment!  This is about playing a game with skill!!!

    You should have to use non-verbal spells like the ones in Harry Potter.

    This thread reminds of ...

    You should have to type all commands and text in binary.  Anything else is hand-holding easy mode for care bears. 
    Real gamers play with 1 arm behind their backs with the keyboard also behind their backs and blindfolded.  Listening to binary numbers to let them see what is happening.
    Real gamers have midgets under our desks that punch us in the groin every time we get hit in game, anything else is mainstream.

    Macroing your target into text spam was trivial in EQ, and expected for certain spells.

    Typing out a spell will not immerse you into the game world like removing a map would so this thread is another crappy comparison. Yes its harder without a map but if you want that sense wonder that sense of not knowing like EQ had there needs to not be one.... Having a map will box in your game world...

    LOL!  Type your spell out?  Just when I thought perma death and "aging to death" were stupid, this beats all of them by a few million light years ... ROFL, need to tell this to my friends they'll say I'm nuts and won't want to talk with me anymore.  ;)    Why not go all ghetto and type "Swing that mofo to the left" with a Samuel L. Jackson voice over??   B)

    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
