First things first, what is a macro and why would you use them? At the most basic level macros are a simple way to extend the functionality of the game, which is why players use them. Because we are lazy. To access the macro area type /m in the chat box.
One of the most basic macros that is often used is the ventrilo macro.
/g Server = my.ventriloserver.com
/g Port = 1337
/g Password = qwerty
By saving the information to a macro you'll never have to type it out again! Proof that the system is useful already. Many of the macros I showed yesterday followed this design, simple yet useful commands to save time and enable my brain to focus on other things. The DPS increase is also nice.
Clicking your spell buttons on your hotbar is actually the same as using a macro. You can replace every single button with a macro that does the same thing, if you wanted.
