Should workers auto-gather minerals and vespene once they are built if the rally point is set to a resource?

I guess they should include this so that I could focus more on microing the many types of cool units and skills in Starcraft II. :)

Blizzard actually stated that they plan to reduce micro a lot for SC2 btw, but this has little to do with micro and more to do with practicality.

Keep in mind with all Blizzard games they always seek to improve and while warcraft3 for example wasn't a sequel to starcraft, but nonetheless it was their next rts game and sought to improve on anything they thought needed it. Also starcraft has always been very macro intensive which is what has to do with workers. Not micro, but regardless it'll be a good change so that it DOES put more on micro and a little less on macro, a very small balancing act that will change the game slightly, but not overly so. "Noob-friendly" things are the cases where game developers put towers in your base to start...bad idea. This idea..not bad at all.

@Alizee: Correct. Imagine if Towers should be manually controlled. It's an exaggeration, but if you look deeper, some trivial tasks are worth automating, or at least streamlined so that fewer clicks are required. For an RTS game with many units, many buildings, and many strategic possibilities, it is a boon.

As much as I would like this feature, I think it will only make us lazier. You need to work for your success. ;D.

Meh, auto gathering would be fine, it only takes a few seconds to have gatherers go to mining anyway, so you might as well just be able to make it automatic anyway, plus it's already been said, but it DOES allow for more time to be spent utilizing combat units and support units to their full extent.

it makes more sense for them to just start gathering if there is a rally point on the minerals.

Unless of course they're like real workers who just sit and watch one person do all the work =)
