The only issue I see is that, in many cases, shitty mouse WITH this > (if only slightly) great mouse WITHOUT.


Allowing this doesn't leave a good impression of TL. Especially in the eyes of Blizzard. At least close the thread.

You act as if there's some magic boundary between the computer and its peripherals that makes input modification on one side absolutely okay but a cardinal sin on the other. If a macro that gives you a click mouseup action is not okay, why is a good-quality mouse that's simply mechanically built to rebound quickly okay? It gives exactly the same advantage(actually moreso since it provides greater control.)

Not to mention that realistically this is completely undetectable if done right, so it's simply not feasible to enforce a ban on it in any online setting.



This is exactly what I was trying to say....but you put it much more eloquently.

ya but having threads that include servers that dont include CD KEY checks is much better.

The reason it got re-opened was for this:

If this is patched life will be good. Unfortunately, the amount of effort blizzard would have to put into making a new patch, (vs. the amount of effort I had to spend to make this 3rd party tool) would be exorbitantly greater. More likely this can be included as some sort of chaos or iccup plugin.

pretty much the same in terms of starcraft.

Wok I think this is a nice program you made, and it will drastically improve gameplay. It's comparable to latency changer. But until Blizzard or ICCUP or someone implements the code and standardizes its use, people should not use it without an explicit agreement between both players.

Talking about the ethical is always hard, but I think most of us can see how this would be unfair to the other player, that it gives one side a competitive edge significant enough to be considered cheating. The edge it gives is much greater than disabling a windows key or playing in a quiet room (wtf?). I hope it will be implemented into the ICC launcher for next season. But until then people should use with caution, that is if you give a shit about the community.

sadist oh my fucking god, just because other people do it, and it's easily done, and that this advantage was not known previously, DOES NOT MEAN IT'S FAIR. YES? And above all it certainly does not mean that we shouldn't reconsider the implications and consequences of this program, the context which surrounds it, just because of the stuff I listed.

If I have aids and everyone around me has aids and I've been spreading it like a motherfucker before I even knew what aids was or did. Now that I know do you think I have a moral obligation to stop spreading it? I hope you think I do.

Iccup can certainly use it. You can't use it on iccup, unless you want your opponent to be like "wtf... I'm reporting you"

Just try it on a blank UDP game.

The problem is that enforceability must always be a consideration when you set a line in the sand.
And since we're all such wonderful fans of analogies it's my turn!
For example, I can make it illegal to fall towards the earth because it's unfair waste of free energy and increase the entropy of the universe. You can't stop the use of gravity.

And anyway, this particular form of gravity practically screams "I'm cheating!" at the top of its lungs, so this release should not be an issue.

wok it's not cheating if both players have it, if you made marines build 5 times faster for both players in a tvt, it's still considered fair, although you're making changes to how the game works.

I would ask you the same question... what exactly are you complaining about?

Is it unfair if I have a shitty old trackball and my opponent has a gaming mouse? Of course it is. Is it cheating? Of course not.

I don't get it.
