Yes, there are MUDs where I'd want a set of aliases and macros, and triggers can help highlight certain events too. But those are games where doing so is important for the DPS caster to maximize his DPS, the healer to maximize HPS and know who and when to heal, the tank to know when to flee from battle, and the buffer/debuffer to know when buffs/debuffs have worn off.

That's different from setting up a system to play the game for you because there's so many curative items for healing the equally considerable number of negative status effects, and victory is contingent upon being able to dispel those effects fast enough.
