A MMO whose defining qualities are its maturity, user base and low system-requirements.
Recently focusing entirely on endgame, to the detriment of all earlier content. Instead of improving the game in measurable ways, its developers use desperate psychology to string along its user base. DO NOT PLAY unless you're already playing. Then DO NOT STOP.
Once anything comes along that's decent, haul ass and bring everyone with you. Consider, for example, Guild Wars 2 - (2012 game).

directory. /macro
New

Name:
alt-255
- This will make the macro have invisible text, so you can have macro hotkeys enabled on your bars but not see this macro.
- Select the blank icon. It will be at the start of the list.
-
You can drag this macro into your bars to make those button spaces appear but be "empty".
There is no easy way to have a macro in Super Duper Macro have that blank icon. See https://www.wowhead.com/forums/topic/custom-wow-macro-icon-136714
