svefnleysi Iceland623 Posts May 27 2011 20:12 GMT #123 Is it fair? If you have to ask, it's probably not fair. Does it improve your gameplay? I don't think so. It only brings the minimap further away from the other important parts of the screen. What I would want to do in regards to improving the UI, is bring the mineral/gas/supply count down to where the minimap is.

Regardless of you thinking it's "ethical" or not, "fair" or not, etc. The magnifier isn't modifyng any part of the game. As been said countless times, it's only giving you an easier way to see information already given to you. Therefore, there is just no way to blizzard detecting you using this (not that they would ban you even knowing you were using it). Regardless of what you said, anyone playing online tournaments could be using this (including "gamebreaking" repositioning of resources). Going completely undetected and you'd still cheer for them the same way. It's like complaining someone has better vision than me and therefore having better vision of both the minimap and actual playing window. Joke of a complain.

Is that fair since A's minimap is many times the size of B's? In the same way, magnifying the minimap doesn't give an unfair advantage.
