not to mention it is essentially hacking because it gives an unfair advantage to the person with the mod | ||

Assuming you're not colour blind, do you genuinely have trouble differentiating between which units are yours and your enemies? | ||

And also a certain category of mods that only change interface/visuals/sounds etc, perhaps after some official review process, should be allowed in ladder games, and for just one player not all players in the match. You should get an indication if your opponent is using some such mods, and maybe even the option to download and use it yourself, after the game or even before the match starts. Mods that change the interface outside of a match can also be made possible with an official tool instead of mpq editors. | ||

Blizzards own mode just makes it worse, dunno wtf they were thinking. | ||

If there's not even the slightest possibility for cheating or gaining some kind of advantage then there's no reason to disable modding, but otherwise it's only fair it needs to go until Blizz come up with a solution for modding themselves. | ||

Would that be necessarily a bad move? ... Yeah, it would. Just like the idea of monetizing UMS maps that they never ended up implementing. They weren't there to support the map making community in brood war and whos to say it would have helped* (TO MY KNOWLEDGE which is lacking). But from what I've seen in other games, the reduction of mod capability in exchange for DLC and microtransactions has turned away most of the talented workers. In the end we get a meh product that's good enough I suppose.. at least its not buggy.. in exchange for money and the annihilation of diversity.

Say you played 100 ZvZ's with and without the team colour mod, do you think your win ratio would be increased directly because of the mod? | ||

As in if this goes trough, will it be impossible to have english UI on the korean server? If yes, I wonder how GOM would handle it. | ||

Is is not possible to reveal them far more easily etc?

Yea there is potential to cheating, making units stand out more. or how about making them bigger so they are easier to click on. Conveniently people seem to forget about this little fact. If if truly was the only the stuff the OP said Blizzard wouldn't have bothered with it. This is back like wow model editing days, blizzard did nothing for a while but then people started to abuse it like making minerals the size of raidbosses or making stairs out of nowhere and nobody could reach you. There is a reason they are just now stopping this, probably found some questionable stuff. | ||

With Hots you will have same functions like in diablo 3 - global play and language change in game options | ||

Or it's a side effect of adding a new feature (e.g., game streaming while the downloader is installing, akin to Diablo III's install-while-playing)... (Those things can potentially be done by editing MPQs, but things just as bad or worse (e.g., map hacks) can be done easily without editing MPQs, either.) | ||
