The macro has had a line limit of 15 lines since the beginning of the game.
In the last couple of expansions we have received crafting skills that take additional steps (aka lines of the macro) but provide great efficiency of the durability, quality and/or CP. This pattern of skill deployment plus the general increase in CP cap has increased macro length. Fitting macros within 2 buttons is challenging already and will only get worse.
Currently:
Basic Touch > Standard Touch > Advanced Touch combo
Basic Touch > Refined Touch (superior to Preparatory Touch)
In recent expansions:
Observe > Focused Touch
Observe > Focused Synthesis

I am not asking for the line limit to be removed but I do think it is time to increase it.
The macro screen has approximately 25 lines of space.
I would think an increase to 22 lines for each macro would be appropriate.
What do you think?
