is this for serious or one epic troll to bilzzard? cause if this is real it would seriously tear the community in half...

if its serious then i must state that sc1 is yesterday and some people need to let go of that, modifying meanial things like "amount of units selected" and "automining" and calling it skill is seriously not the way to go. if you want to separate your own armies into groups of 10 then that is most certainly your choice, don't force the entire platinum community to follow that path, this should honestly be up for vote with a large part of the platinum community involved (not saying that plats are all pro-sauce, but its a start since there is no other dicernable way to seperate those that are "top tier" and those that aren't)

i'm not going to comment on the balance changes, because those are things that actually help the game, but making the game a little more inconvenient to play is not the way to go in terms of making the game "competetive"

there was alot of discussion and controversy about auto-mining and MBS and about how the game won't be as pro or whatever, but seriously people need to stop mistaking inconvenience of selecting your probes after you spawn for skill, not only are you going to have more bullshit buttons to push now (chronoboost) / queen/ mule after you have 2 base, now you have to select your drones/probes/scvs to mine after they spawn each time... imagine doing that on a chronoboosted nexus... that would be more redundant than all the other redundancies that you "removed' from the game

not to appear cynical, but i think this sc2mod could go a different direction. the balance part is good and its nice to be proactive to keep the game from being a roach-fest (single strategy viability) but removing smart-cast/automining/ etc is just plain stupidity in the sense that it's 2010 and most of us want to play an RTS where software can take care of the non-strategic part (and no, i am not saying that macro is bad, invoncenience is not macro skill either)
