    Hello all
    Is it possible to create a macro that will set your Merc to main tank? The same commands that work on my group members do not seem to work on mercs is there a difference syntax??

    I reported this bug in September: https://dgcissuetracker.com/browse/EQ-1240

    I actually ran into this bug and it is documented here in a video that I made yesterday at the 5 minute mark:

    So it still has not been fixed. It used to work but the devs broke it.

    There is a way but first you have to know your merc's true name.
    Type /grouproles list
    That will tell you the mercs real name.

    Thank you. It makes sense but it would have been nice had this been documented in the patch notes when the devs broke my existing hotkey.

    It's been like this for ages. Couple years, at least.

    It's been that way since grouproles and mercs were introduced. Mercs are the reason grouproles were implemented.

    I took a year+ off and my hotkey stopped working some time in between. I just know it used to work and then it didn't when I returned, so the design changed.

    Maybe they ran out of merc names due to the skyrocketing popularity of EQ.
