I've macroed, I've not macroed, and I really don't think it's necessary. Helpful? Sure. Necessary? Not terribly. Any 5* base TMR you want you're likely going to moogle. Most 3* base TMR you'll either get from dupes or not care about because they're terrible. The only TMRs that are really worth macroing for are some 4* base units that are universally useful to have, or elemental weapons from 3* base units that are just useful to have.

Yes, you're going to be behind anyone who macros, just like you'll be behind anyone that's been playing since day one, or someone who whales. But you're playing a glorified single player game; being behind everyone only means you're not clearing out all the trials when they release, or having a slightly rougher time with a limited time trial if it's a toughie. Beyond that? Being behind other people is pretty meaningless. Clear the content you can, enjoy the ride, and if you decide you get bored with the grind, reduce the grind. I started on the first anniversary, left the game for like six months, and the only reason I'm not clearing some content as easily as others is I don't have the most meta of meta units in a tricked out Hyoh. And if I wanted to take the time and NRG pots to do the content, I probably could.

So don't stress. Macroing is just one more thing of the many in this game to maintain, and the reward for doing it isn't gamebreaking. It gives you more options in a game flush with options and powercreep. That TMR you spent hundreds of NRG farming today will probably serve you well for a while, but it'll also be powercrept by free items in a few months. Not enough to make it obsolete, but enough to make it just another tool in the bag, rather than something gamebreaking.
