skill gains with macros? (1 Viewer)

[shadowman33]

NVM on post, please delete this as it is not needed now. Gains coming now.

ok another noob, but need to ask question. I just started using mq2 and found a forage macro that i can use and also learned how to add it to mq2. The only thing I have noticed is that I have been using this forage macro for over 2 hours and strangely enough I have not gotten a single skill gain. Now, this question comes from complete ignorance sorry. Logic tells me that in essesnce this macro is same thing as /doability in eq, but for some reason since using this macro, I get no skill gains. Can this macro somehow bypass skill gains like it is set as if you are already maxxed in forage skill? I don't see how it can, but still not getting any skill gains on success or fails. Just something I noticed and maybe it's just me being impatient for gains. Forage skill is at 52 and have been to 5 different zones doing macro for over 2 hours with no gains at all. Last night, I was using forage skill in between mobs in same zones as now, and getting decent gains.

Sorry, so you know i am using the yafm forage macro that i found on here.
