You advertised your stream, that both you and another company profit from, into a place designated for âvoice chat optionâ.
I hope you get banned tbh. But in saying that i can understand the need to list a group thats organised outside of game so that others of your stream can join it easily.
Maybe try listing it as Stream name SFO raid and in voice chat put discord. Under description you could list maybe join for details and then advertise all you like within your raid group.
You know instead of trying to find a loophole for something that has had a serious impact recently (advertising within LFG) overtaking legitimate groups.
Maybe you could offer to pay blizzard to advertise on your behalf and create a system in game to do so.
EDIT: By the way its not blizzard you have to convince to embrace streamers - its us, the playerbase, who is fed up with a constant advertising getting in the way of finding or filling groups.

I never much cared for streamers but this last week I looked up a friend that used to play in BFA (happens to stream AOTC give aways) and from there I found a bunch of different streaming communities.
I love one in particular were we carry people to KSM without charging players anything. Its a massive service to players that are less skilled and we have a great time doing it. I just wish I had found out about this before.
Probably because he does call outs on his stream so yup that would be a voice chat option. Its no different than the raid lead using discord and muting everyone so he can do call outs.
Oh man, get ready for some backlash when you speak that mans name
hmmm this sounds familiar hmmm kind of like how Horde players are advertising their runs and raids but only invite horde players as its being advertised to both factionsâŚ
After watching these I canât even imagine the amount of work that goes into it. Just from what Iâve seen:
- Being able and willing to run +15-20 for 5 hours a day
- Be able to stream for 1,000 days straight
- Be able to interact with chat while still running those keys.
- Managing a music list
- In raids making the hard decisions to kick people.
- Hell just talking for 5 hours a day is exhausting
I donât see any problem with people making money off donations. They put more effort into their streaming than most people do in their 9-5 job.

I never thought of this and thats 100% a fair reason to list it.
I also have friends that stream but they no longer advertise in LFG, and i agree that it is a great service to the game. Many more players have dipped their toe into m+ and raiding alike which is a benefit to the game.
If you are listing the group solely to advertise then i agree you should be banned as many many others have been. If you are listing the group looking for more and that it will be streamed is a different thing entirely.
Basically if that listing was to join on the spot to do content its ok.
If that listing was to join a stream and enter a raffle it is not ok.
Thereâs a lot of streamers I would like to embrace, you can find then in the hot tubs section

This is 100% why I put it in the voice chat section. I use Twitch to raid lead. The raid listens to my callouts through the stream.
I hope you are cured of Crabs t b h
No,the reason why you do it is to support you while you sit there laughing at us. You get all the perks from this company already why post this? oh more advertisement. Good luck on your adventures.
Everyone is always laughing at you Pyromor

Oh another alt nice.
Can you tell me where the advertisement is in this post? People in this very thread have asked for my Twitch name because they want to follow but I have refused to post it in any responses because I donât want this to be seen as an ad. I wanted to bring attention to something that I believed was an issue.

I am laughing at you Pyromor, right now
You are the advertisement ,howâs my english doing? I completely understand you can you understand me?
Lol thats a really good point and some of the streamers of WoW stream a lot more than just WoW.
Iâm rather curious as to how the streamer makes money from Twitch unless the individual who joins hisnstream elects to subscribe or donate. Any respectable streamer will not ask or demand money from their viewers and simoly eant to build the community by coaching and playing. There is zero harm in this practice and the report feature, in my honest opinion has been abused as there have been multiple instances of people joining streamer groups willingly getting their two RBG wins, and then reporting for âabusive chatâ. I can understand if the LFG posting said âMust subscribe to stream to join groupâ as that is demanding money and is against TOS, but simply linking your Twitch should not be an offense as following a streamer is free and they gain no money from it. That is what confuses me here. We all act as if by following a streamer theyâre immediately paid when they are not and it is on the person who joins the stream whether or not they choose to subscribe to that streamer when it is done. It is very unfortunate when the streamers who are attempting to promote the game through Looking For Group are being canceled out over a misconception.

People donât understand they can do /ignore if they never want to see an advertisement from any streamer they see. That solves the whole issue of âLFG is full of streamers and that is why i cant get into other groupsâ because guess what? You ignored all of them! But instead they subject themselves to seeing the thing they hate and complain about it in forums and report you, when they can literally just ignore you and never have to bother you, nor be bothered by you. Instead they just want to try to get people banned for streaming when it doesent hurt you, the streamer, the game or the community 95% of the time.

This very thing is what happened to meâŚYou speak facts Torvial unfortunately facts donât always prevail.
You wonât believe the number of whispers I get saying âI just reported youâ itâs like reporting isnât enough they get joy out of ruining someoneâs day and seeing their reaction live on stream.
