Whats the big deal about splitting the community, hell look at how split it already is/always has been with SC1 and BW.
We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. - Orwell

Just because somewhat of a split in the community has happened in BW, doesn't mean it should be actively encouraged or engineered into SC2. It should be minimized as much as possible.

@ iNc: who said I was talking about a 2cm wall? It is your imagination that fooled you, my metaphor was all correct.
If you like a stronger metaphor, here it is: the wall must be climbed and is 8 meters high. Makes some yawn, makes others proud.
What's your problem, man?
And if you don't see the competition in Diablo 2 that's your milk, I myself see some competition in it and if only for 12-year-olds.
Just because you are on a much higher level doesn't make your experience/view the only one in this world. Many people feel good after a small success. Climb the 50 meters wall but don't say you're ultimately right.

And it seems to me that you got me totally wrong, because I am anti MBS. Surprised?

uh you said a wall of "any" size hence my elaboration.
The comparison with D2 was flawed in that you were comparing it to SC for reasons I stated but you chose to ignore.

@ element)logic: No, I express my opinion in the way I feel. I debated this issue with a calm and logical voice earlier, produced no results. Instead of hitting my head on the wall with the issue, I am laughing at those with bloody foreheads.

@orangedude: Yeah, its false.. right. That'd be true if it werent for the fact that every single decent non korean has said that MBS is garbage. Name ONE decent non korean who is semi known in the community for their bw skills that thinks MBS is a good idea and should be welcomed.

No, iNcontrol. Your perception of the viewpoint of the pro-MBS side (minus random noobs) is flawed (what I quoted). Secondly, there are decent players who believe in the wait-and-see approach and make a judgment after extensive beta testing (which I agree with). I'm not going into any more detail, as I don't want to spend anymore time in pointless arguments with neither side budging.

I feel sorry for blizzard. No matter what they do they will end up pissing off a LOT of people over something as silly as a debate about multiple building selection.
If I was in control at blizzard I would be ready to say SCREW THESE NERDS LETS JUST MAKE ANOTHER WOW EXPANSION!
Warcraft 3 has mbs and it hasn't DIED after around 4 years. Why do you think mbs sc2 will DIE in a year if it has mbs?

You didn't read carefully. We were talking about competitive SC2, not SC2 as a whole.

Even competitive War3 didn't crash in Korea for at least 3 years. That game has next to zero macro involved + is an extremely poor spectator sport for many reasons. Also, the War3 competitive scene is expanding in other regions today like China (and is larger than SC), although it will never approach the mainstream success of the Korean SC scene.

competitive wc3 isn't dead either. Don't know where you get this idea from. The wcg had a bunch of wc3 matches.

All I am trying to point out is that sc2 will at worst be like wc3 in the competitive scene.

I didn't even talk about competitive WC3, you really need to read more carefully and to not confuse accounts. Means I don't know where you get the idea from that I got the idea that competitive WC3 is dead. Got it?

I know WC3 is very popular and the competitive scene isn't any smaller than that of sc:bw but I think SC2 will be much bigger if it is harder to play then WC3. I'd like it to be much harder (or say about as hard as sc:bw). I mean why not? Can't be a bad thing.

And well, I don't want SC2 to "at worst be like wc3", really not. I want it to be the big brother of SC2 and since it is definitely possible to do that I don't see a reason to go a different road.

All I said is that people are massively overreacting saying that sc2 will be a giant failure in e-sports if it has mbs.

Who said that? I did not, I only argued against MBS (and automining and autocasting) that it will make the game worse. I never said how much worse.

It's been quoted three times in the last 15 posts. Many others have expressed a similar sentiment countless times. When you say "we" in your post, I assume you share their views.

Well, then you misunderstood which part of our opinion is the same.
"We" only share one opinion: MBS is not good or not as good as Blizzard expects.
One may say MBS will completely destroy SC2, another one says it will only make it slightly worse, another one says MBS is satan and another one says it can be bad or good but he thinks it's bad.
This example is to demonstrate how easy it is to misunderstand people if you don't see every person as an individual with his/her individual opinion.

In that case, I also share your opinion on this. There would be less misunderstanding if you didn't write:

and instead stated your own view. It also shows why making blanket-statements like the ones quoted earlier make no sense, since everyone has different thoughts.

I also think MBS may slightly detract from gameplay, but maybe the other benefits from attracting a larger fanbase could make up for it and cause the net effect to be positive rather than negative. That's why I'm going to wait for further testing.

I asked you to name one decent player who is known that thinks MBS will be a good thing. You cant and ignore the request.

You also state my projection of the future will be flawed. Great, you very well could be right. But then, I could be just as right so we are left with a wash.

No, I said your perception of the people who argue for pro-MBS (besides noobs) is flawed. As for the other, most people are pretty sure it won't crash in 1 year, regardless of MBS seeing as how it's a Blizzard game. Again, even War3 lasted a while in Korea and is still going comparatively strong around the world (with nearly no macro in the game).

Why should I have to name decent players who think MBS will be a good thing, when even I think it might be slightly bad for gameplay? I can however name some who wish to give it time and further testing before making a certain judgment, but I won't.

What, lol. The quote does not include any views/opinions from anybody so I really don't get what you're trying to tell me. I only pointed at what the topic is. In this case I'd say less misunderstanding comes only from reading the account first, then the whole post, and of course from being correct, not mixing up quotes/accounts/opinions. I didn't generalize anything, it's not my fault if someone misunderstands me that much (this is not directed against you as you may know).

I agree to the rest of your post except that I think the negative effect will be higher.
