Someone said I used the same macros, and really, that is as far from the truth as you can get.
Me, including a small percentage of the old server, only used spams on hit (but also sometimes on miss). We have never had a macro spamming constantly, as you pretty much go away from scaring people into doing things. Spamming on hit looks a lot more like a cast than holding a macro saying 7 words/second and it results in that you will scare people into doing a defensive action.
Now, the reason to why I know that it's not limiting is cause I did good with it, so did everyone else that used it. I'm quite sure that people have not been able to see my spells, cause one of the things that I did the most was my sneaky FSes, and people died. Me with my PvP record, using this way of spamming, should speak for itself.
Now on changing the spam limit. We chose this value cause we thought it gave the most options for different variety of spams. If you want to spam 2 words/second you can still do that, just make a macro for it. For the ones that want to use this in a better way, they have that option to.
There is nothing that says that 8/4 is a fixed value, might be changed into something else, but we are not going to change it after 2 days. People need to adept and try to use spams in a different way, then we can re-evaluate.
One thing is for sure though, if the spam limit is not limiting you from reaching your best, then its really is not limiting. Don't settle for average constant spamming.
