I’m not sure about that one, nothing in the policy that people have linked states that. Also, it’s hard to prove if you’re targetting a streamer because you hate them. I’ve had people target me on PVP realms because they hated me, are you saying that I could have reported them for that?
That’s not true at all. When someone ganks your alt, what do you do? You go on your main and camp them. That’s happened since before vanilla wow even
If you know a streamer is online, is about to raid, because guilds raid at a set time most of the time, and you have a target macro, that is all you need.
you just have to wait for them to be summoned or walk to your ambush point, in this case, the orb at BWL. Then you res and spam your target macro the moment you see the summon go trough.
If you fail to see how thats relevant in any way to this situation idk what to tell you. There are groups of players harassing people for sport. The guy who got banned was one of these people. The GM must have found a reason to ban him. But then again why would you care if others get dispelled. You can just stealth to bwl
Could anyone point me to the ban itself? I’d like to see the 6 month confirmed.
This entire argument is based on this while I don’t see any evidence towards it.
That is not bannable. Nor is it harassment or griefing. In fact doing exactly that is permitted and encouraged on PvP servers.
This guy thinks people are making target macros for him?
I don’t think the people here excusing the GM’s conduct here appreciate the gravity of how bad this is…
This is called PvP on a PvP server. The form or the meta is irrelevant. Dispelling people is not harassment. Its PvP. Feel free to look at the “Harassment in PvP” dropped a few times now.
It says if you don’t want things like this to happen, don’t be on a PvP server.
I love that the player in question is just believed to be stream sniping because the streamer said so. What a completely baseless assumption with no evidence given. On top of that assumption is the next assumption that a macro is being used specifically to target the streamer, which isn’t a violation of anything.
This culminates in a guy being banned at the behest of a streamer for playing the game in a way that the streamer personally doesn’t appreciate, but also in a way that hasn’t been proven to violate the ToS.
Pathetic. Pathetic streamer, pathetic GM, and a pathetic company if this gets swept under the rug to be forgotten.
You are moving the goal posts on your post, at this point, you said:
I told you how it wasn’t impossible. You are all over the place here, take a step back, breath and think about this situation rationally.
I agree, based on the information available. I have no way of knowing if there are other factors at work.
I still want to see confirmation on ban.
If we’re being pedantic here. Then it should have said there was no way he was being stream-sniped.
But since he was not streaming his main, the dispeller had no way of knowing exactly when/where he was going to be summoned. He got lucky finding the offline streamer.
And even if he did…making a macro to /target/dispel is fine anyways.
I read it when you pointed it out last time and it says not a single thing able dispeling
also its the harassment that comes with the meta
You are telling me a GM who can solo ban somebody 6 months from the game can’t do other stuff like give people buffs?
I understand there are GM tiers…but it seems ludicrous to me.
Also…this GM is allegedly the same GM who addressed an earlier issue for the same streamer where the streamer was purported to have been wrongly banned for botting.
Why the heck would you NOT recuse yourself as the GM in this situation.
Just…damn.
This includes situations that may be considered dishonorable such as corpse camping or killing players well below your level.
Here is the relevant line for you “Situations that may be considered dishonorable” and then listing a few examples. The fact that the rule doesn’t say word-for-word dispelling people is fine" does not mean its not-fine.
If you do not wish to engage in regular PvP combat in WoW Classic, you must create your character on a Player versus Environment (PvE) realm. On a PvE realm, you can freely choose when you want to engage in open world PvP combat by enabling or disabling your PvP flag.
If you don’t want to be PvP’d…go to a PvE realm.
the gm shouldnt have done that either
Proof of ban? Doesn’t anyone else want to see verification before calling for anyone’s head?
The streamer in question admitted to doing it on Reddit before deleting his account out-right. And that he was sorry that he got the guy banned.
Who cares if he’s stream sniping? Dispel is a pvp ability and he used it in the intended fashion. The player chose to show everyone where he was and chose to roll on a pvp server. There’s literally nothing wrong about dispelling him.
