Seriously, people who pull this trick deserve those extra minerals. Besides I can assure you this won't effect 99% of ladder games in terms of balance and such. I see no reason for this to get patched | ||

It's unintentionally in the game, and despite people trying to act like it should be in the game it really shouldn't. Interesting none-the-less. | ||

 Anyone care to show me a replay of a probe mining for 2 minutes on a mineral patch normally, then the same mineral patch for 2 minutes with this trick? My personal best is 120 minerals in 3 minutes on a far patch --> 130 minerals in 3 minutes on a far patch. | ||

He got nothing else to do than micro his drones anyway so he will get his pool so much faster using this trick. On August 15 2012 04:44 See.Blue wrote: 8 second buff to 6pool is a pretty big deal... And when you master this trick perfectly you can get it maybe over 10 seconds earlier. That's pretty huge. Edit: It was old thread | ||

Btw this is going to get fixed soon: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/627978741#3 You're right, 9/21/2010 is right around the corner. | ||

It leaves 1 worker on a patch alone, and I don't remember seeing this pre 1.5, do someone else noticed it? I don't think it's thread worthy tho :/ This has always happened, and only happens on far patches as it takes "2.5" (or 2.3 or whatever it really is) to completely mine from the far patches. | ||

In that case your pool will only be 1-2 seconds faster which isn't too big of a deal. Also, with this trick your forge/barracks will be faster so I don't really see the problem.This alone is probably reason to have this fixed, sad as it is. | ||
