No, it has always been like like it's now. reset=5 for example resets in 5 seconds IF not pressed. I have made macros since forever and it has always been like that.
Want some proof?

guide from 2007: "Which sounds great, right? Unfortunately, not so much. The reset= function is an 'idle timeout' reset, which is to say that if you don't press the button for 10 seconds it will reset to the first position. It will _not_ reset if you keep hitting the button"

If warriors weren't nerfed in Classic we're sure as hell not going to nerf other classes in TBC because the warriors are now crying babies.
The macro on private servers simply lowers the skill cap, how ever any decent player can time auto shots correctly inbetween abilities and vice versa with a working auto shot timer.
There will be absolutely zero performance difference between a player using the macro and a player not using it. The most useful macro will be that of binding Kill Command to about every other ability to maximize its up-time.
So just to point this out. The 1 button macro was actually a dps loss. The rotation can be performed much more optimally without it. Also the macro is broken with the newer client. So why not reward the class that puts in more work then say shadow bolt spam with a better output. Seems sound to me

Uh what? No difference in dps with a subpar macro and the correct rotation eh? Go home friend you’re drunk.

TL;DR -- The macro that works on TBC beta is far from optimal play. If hunters are using these "EZ one button macros" they will be doing garbage DPS compared to hunters that do things manually with a swing timer (like we do already in Classic).
There is no class balance in 2021 and some people ask to change the 2007 version of the game? It's not really doable.
That's a whole other discussion mate. My point is not that TBC is perfectly balanced or even that it's perfect the way it is imbalanced (if that makes sense). My point is that of all the topics to ask for changes, class balance and design is the definition of a slippery slope, plus on top of that I really don't think any of the Classic-only players (including myself) trusts the current devs one iota to do anything sensible with the game. If you don't believe me, look at the whole shebang with the LW drums.
Yeah I completely agree, the only good changes that have come through tbc so far have been ones that have been brought up and suggested through the community for years. (Paladin seal change etc)
Can you imagine what pvp would turn into if they tried to balance it in tbc lol.
Macro doesnt work on PTR. And TBH who needs it. Use 2 button rotation instead of 1 button xD both sounds silly. Probably timeing will be a bit shifted but i think it wouldnt affect that much. Just use swing/shot timer.

What? xD Thats macro was efficient as fuck. Mybe u know some lame version. Original macro was perfectly timed with correction of weapon speed. You could apply timeing to 0.1s ><
