macro mode

noun What results when players are on auto-pilot.
noun To perform detailed, yet stereotypical toils by using keyboard macros or F-keys. So complex were some of these in their heyday that in one celebrated case a MUD1 player pressed one key and 16 seconds later was standing at the NRBL holding the LS and three wafers, having fed the dragon as well! This kind of activity was curtailed by the addition to the game of numerous macro traps, however it still goes on to some extent. Generalisation of this specific meaning led to the now more common sense 1 usage.
