Rothgar already said on the forms that equipment macros would not be affected. Those are legitamately used. (I have two that are 'full set' macros -- one for my regular healing gear and one for my DPS gear).
It's just the macros that try to cast a whole bunch of abilities that were nerfed. Lets see you were a class that has 10 damage abilities (we'll call them Spell_A through Spell_J).
The lazy (and now nerfed route) would be to make a macro like this:
useability Spell_A
useability Spell_B
...
useability Spell_I
useability Spell_J
If Spell_A was available to be cast, it would cast it. If you did that enough and say Spells A through E were unavailable to cast, it woudl cast spell F. But each time you click it it would try to cast all 10 spells, even though the net result might only be you casting a single spell.
All that causes data to go back and forth between client and server and makes lag. Lag that arises from people being lazy and trying to cheat the system, rather than lag from people just playing normally. That's why it got nerfed.
