BFA player mass reported and banned for 72h for engaging in world PVP

Charmant-silver-hand · December 17, 2018, 9:01pm

dude was mailing stuff to people who had put him on ignore, then mailing their friends. He left that part out.

Ziryus-doomhammer · December 17, 2018, 9:02pm

Yeah, but i get no monetary kick backs for what I say

Dealloc-dethecus · December 17, 2018, 9:06pm

Do people just hate all streamers? I don’t see what is uniquely unlikable about him. He seems to be very strongly in favor of no changes. His guides that I’ve used seem legit. What’s the big deal? He’s a bit nerdy looking, but so what?

Oldallagala-frostwolf · December 17, 2018, 9:06pm

So which would you say is more pathetic? I mean… let’s not hate on someone doing the exact same thing you are but getting paid for it.

Dealloc-dethecus · December 17, 2018, 9:08pm

And can you point me to where it says that? This is all I can find on naming rules, not counting RP servers.

Literally just says no accented characters. Anything else on there I’m pretty sure it doesn’t even let you do.

Ziryus-doomhammer · December 17, 2018, 9:11pm

My opinions are at least my own, like them or hate them

Oldallagala-frostwolf · December 17, 2018, 9:13pm

Believe me this isn’t the positive aspect you think it is lol.

Ziryus-doomhammer · December 17, 2018, 9:14pm

So you prefer people who just parrot what you want to hear?

Studmuffyn-veknilash · December 17, 2018, 9:16pm

Man I don’t know, I could have sworn it was in there, or maybe I heard it in the past, really seems like something they would not allow like Brand names or something, but yah there is nothing listed like that, so guess not,lol.

oh I must be combining the RP naming policies

Oldallagala-frostwolf · December 17, 2018, 9:17pm

I’m talking about your opinions specifically. I obviously don’t care what streamers do or what they actually think. On top of that I certainly don’t think I know what people are actually thinking. Because you do know that what you think about this streamer specifically is all just a made up fact that you created in your head about how you think he thinks right? When you say he is just parroting what people want to hear, maybe he is just saying stuff that he thinks and people like it… crazy thought huh.

Ziryus-doomhammer · December 17, 2018, 9:22pm

What do you hate about my opinions? At least I’m consistent unlike Asmon who flip flopped on his position about sharding

Pintero-moon-guard · December 17, 2018, 9:22pm

Man, post like these make me feel so out of touch with World of warcraft… It use to be getting Banned for WPVP was madness in itself. I’m just happy most of these softer folk won’t be on real pvp servers let alone play classic, Kil’jaden Vanilla was pretty cutt-throat on PVP i can’t wait.

Charmant-silver-hand · December 17, 2018, 9:24pm

hours and hours and hours of insane crazy world pvp. good luck trying to turn in quests in darkshore on that server.

Gnocci-emerald-dream · December 17, 2018, 9:25pm

I do not normally watch streamers. That said I viewed a couple that were linked here and reddit, Asmongold and some other guy. The latter was actually just a guy who seemed to be giving heartfelt commentary during the classic demo. Asmongold simply comes off as a shrill drama queen/ho troll trying to be as zany, outrageous and edgy as possible just to get attention.

Xecks-stormrage · December 17, 2018, 9:30pm

to be honest asmongold annoys the crap out of me and its very hard to watch his stream.

but he has his own thing goin so props to him.

Studmuffyn-veknilash · December 17, 2018, 9:32pm

except his ban had nothing to do with WPvP.

Dealloc-dethecus · December 17, 2018, 9:33pm

I could see that. But some people just seem to have this blinding hatred for streamers in general. Seems to me there’s a correlation between how well known/popular a streamer is and how passionately they’re hated.

Whatever

If they have useful information or are discussing a topic I find interesting then I’ll watch.

Gnocci-emerald-dream · December 17, 2018, 9:34pm

Hey, even Trump became president. And the best the dems could do was Hillary. “having things going for” you does not account for much this day and age.

Blue post from reddit:

Hey Morajin,

First, let me assure you that this action was not taken due to any participation in world PVP. I can understand how the timing of the action could have led you to that conclusion so I want to make sure we’re clear that it was not related. We would not find actions, such as taking over a flight point or quest hub, to be actionable offenses. Players have the option of disabling War Mode or organizing a counter attack with their own faction to retake the area.

What you were suspended for was ongoing targeted harassment of others. We investigated a report we received and were able to verify that, after being placed on ignore, you continued to harass another player through in-game mail using multiple characters on your account. Your messages were not limited to a single person; you harassed other associates of this player with unsolicited mail. We provide a number of tools to allow players to moderate their own social experiences in-game. Bypassing this feature to continue unwanted interactions constitutes disruptive gameplay and will result in account action, including silencing or suspension from the game.

I hope this helps to clarify the reason for this penalty. I suggest that in the future if someone places you on ignore that you do not try to contact them either directly or through their associates.

Sabetha-turalyon · December 17, 2018, 9:38pm

As is usually the case with these sorts of claims, the original person who was banned was not being truthful about the events that happened.

They weren’t banned because they did a lot of wPvP and ganking. They were banned for harassing other players and bypassing the ignore system to continue harassing them.
