EPTIf you're having fun, keep doing it.
I do think that people do quit the game because of it though ;-).

It's not even about the OP, from what I see he is just a guy having fun (albeit at many other peoples expense) but what gets me quite worried is the community response. I know that SC2 has plenty of trolls/cheese but I always thought it was disliked by the communty, then I come across a thread like this that has 9 pages of people applauding OP and even a spotlight on the website generally considered the best SC community. OP and everyone here knows that people will quit the game because of things like this though personally I think it it's not his fault if people don't like what he finds fun, but what I really find distasteful is that people seem to like this because of the effect it has on people, not in spite of it. | ||

My sypathy for what he does comes from two things: 1. He puts a lot of effort into his blog posts. They are an entertaining read really and so he does not only take (wins from low bronze players), but also gives back a lot. 2. He is not bragging about what he is doing and reflects on what he is doing. P.S.: Does anyone remember Belan the Looter from UO? This kindof reminds me of her. | ||

I like this series of blogs, but it's obviously not as easy to defend as you make out Clearly the thing OP is doing is different from the 12drone rush Very well written blogs, love them. | ||
