Poll: use mods competitively YES or NO?

as the title says ..
a simple vote thread ..


we need to be now clear of the route we want to take for general competitive play be it ranked or tournaments in general ..

THIS is important if we want to further get people for competitive play and what kind of competitive players
we NEED to show NOW what potential players can expect from competive PA play ..


take a stand with a vote now !

*facepalm* i missclicked

can a mod repost the thread without showing who voted what?

+1 to NO - 1 from yes .. just for the record ...

No need to repost anything, seems I can uncheck it even now.

WAY to put up a biased poll : D

I recall when you posted that on all my new polls.

Oh the irony!

I feel the whole issue is kinda making itself seem soooooo much bigger than it really is.

Probably a nice example of how "fear" is most often created from mysterious mostly unknown things (possible mods of the future)

can you just close this?

three topics for one subject that more than done being debated I'm starting to feel seasick from all this.

three clear simple voteoptions ...

also why should you want to allow mods that are for cheating?

@MrTBSC
there's no full yes there's just your "yes"

also what mods are for cheating?
show me ONE of this mythical chimera

speaking about possible wallhacks and stuff

arguebly autobuild and the energymod are considered cheating

you fo real?

also I said "show me" not "dream me up". apart for autobuild which has been around for longer than this debate has on this forum multiplied by the number of posts in each of it's threads, and free energy wich doesn't have a prooven advantage nor is it unfair..... wallhacks don't exist in this game and "stuff" is as vague as it gets........... .....literally!

Just gonna borrow this as the forums erupt in another flame..........again

if you can uncheck my vote please do so

Nope, the vote numbers cannot be changed.

:/

That is not how you use capital letters.

And that is a grave accent not an apostrophe.

And why can you vote "no vote"?



Nothing personal lol. Nice to see the way the votes are swaying.

I don't consider autobuild a cheat, I tried using it and I found it interfered more than actually helped, I just use the infinite build mod (or something like that) to turn continuous build on by default. It is superior to autobuild in every way so long as you keep your eco and factories relatively balanced.

these results seem very onesided

Spoiler

I voted yes

What mods do the best players use? I use infinite build. I tried uber maps but I think it lags my potato computer so I got rid of it.

elodea is reputably one of the best if not the best and I hear he uses none.

apparently UI mods have nothing to do with success, go figure
(would you be surprised if I told you Lu_Xun got where he did in FA with minimum resolution, using a junk mouse and no mods?)

to really answer your question you're not going to find one clear answer. As you perfectly illustrated lots of mods can deter your performance as does UberMap right now which I would have recommended to you if you hadn't said your computer got lagged by infinite build (which is taxing but far less). It really depends on personal preference.
