that is cool, i suppose the balance changes wouldn't be too hard to implement, i never even noticed they were in the game.
I think you'd have to default the settings in the game to get people to use them, which is why im just hoping blizzard gives us multiplayer features so we can all play the game in one place. although it'd be a shame to leave all the hard work people have put into modding this game over the last many years
There're plenty more loudly people in not only this community but out there that will strongly defend default game balance, besides it means only playing Orcs 99% of time.
If you got Remaster rebalance changes set by default, probably you would either see people leaving or complaining about it. It's good to have it as an option, but if people truly had intention to play a way better game balance that actually allowed Humans to be playable, then people would pick it up. I've seen no people interested in it over past 4 months.
In Remaster, you have no choice, you either take it or simply dont play Multiplayer... But it also affects Single player there as well.

If by miracle, you mean Blizzard exports all the rest of remaining positive features from War2 classic (Combat) into Remaster without bugs, I think there're plenty of people who still could NOT play. As far as I was told, Russians CANNOT buy the game by themselves. I mean Remaster. They have to get it gifted in order to install so then play.
Don't know why this happens but they just didn't allow russian people to play new game version from the beginning, by even allowing to buy it.
