Possible plat macro? /ponder

Dunno, I found this macro on some other site... Tryed it out. And no go. Im thinking its commands might be out dated.

Sub Main
 /echo Please don't post possible plat macros, outdated or not.
/return

Any help would be welcome =P

Stripped since this "possibly" was a plat producing macro.
Read "possibly" as my 5th amendment right ;)

You can have anything you want. What you can't do is post them here.

There are many reasons to not have plat combines posted. One that jumps out right away is it's pretty much a sure fire way to get them nerfed.

Mine too drift

However, the policy has always been "do not post profit making macros." Three reasons: first, SOE nerfs them and no one makes any money; second, SOE starts working real hard at breaking MQ, because they don't want anyone making a profit selling plat for real cash; and third, a huge influx of plat destroys the already shaky server economies, and a bunch of people quit playing in disgust, cutting in to SOE's profits.
