Firstly, I think the premise is a little shaky for making a claim that someone should be banned. Even if people are actively seeking out others of the opposing faction to kill, dispel, or other PVP related things on a PVP server, that seems to be very much in line with what should be happening in the game, imo.
This makes me wonder if you have ever spent any time looking at logs. Even with filtering, I’m curious as to what tools precisely you are referring to.
As a hobby-streamer and video-game enthusiast myself I am looking for a Game-master partner in crime. Your duties will include the occasional /kill command and the rare but appreciated /getbannedkid command in case of streamsniping/griefing.
I will provide you with an all-exclusive Tier 3 subscription and premium access to pirated snapchats.
For everyone else, follow my twitch @damp_for_your_magic23 for quality tips on how to walk into BRM alt-tabbed and still come out on top. It was easy.
The tools that GMs have access to that we do not, they can see exactly what was used, not just what is in the combat logs or chat logs.
Which tools precisely?
Still waiting to see evidence of the 6 months ban.
Does target macro manage to dispel in the window between invis releasing and loading into BWL with the wa?
We take precautions that stop us from being purged. I’m unsure if a dedicated target macro gets past this though.
If you’re accepting a summon while not first entering invis, you aren’t taking every action to protect yourself.
The tools to check what macros you used and who you targeted, every bit of that data is coded and tells the server what you are doing.
every action you take, you moving, targeting, macros you use, everything is sent to the server and they have the capacity to check it.
Sure. This actually seems to be a better explanation of logs than a description of tools.
This is a bit of a side conversation, and I do not mean to derail the topic, but you seem to be claiming some insight into what tools Blizzard employees have available to them. I’m asking for clarification as to whether you indeed have such insight, or are just posturing to make yourself look like someone who knows something, when you do not.
PvP server by that we should all hold hands and sing songs together.
I would leave and others would do the same.
Great streamer with 2 views during live, can vouch for this fella. He’s going to need all the help he can get against a certain shaman.
Couple things.
That being said, if it is as it appears, this is wrong. Investigations against an account shouldn’t take 5 minutes. No player should have the priority to rush the queue of cases along or have a GM look at their case ahead of everyone else’s.
In my opinion, dispelling world buffs isn’t greifing, but I will acknowledge the person banned had a reputation for doing it all the time and there is a threshold where something allowed becomes greifing. Its possible that the streamer was the straw that broke the camel’s back in this case.
But the big problem here is a streamer was able to jump the queue and rush the investigation (or more importantly, that is what it looks like- again it’s possible the investigation was started from previous player reports).
If dispelling people is against the rules and bannable and toxic and all of this - why would they remain dispellable? It makes no logical sense for something to remain the game if you have the capacity to remove it (which they do) and then ban people for it.
secondly, people citing the code of conduct is fairly hilarious
"Behaviour that intentionally detracts from others’ enjoyment "
That undead rogue who cheapshotted me? gone
That guy who undercut me by 1 silver on plaguebloom? banned
The guy who keeps spamming trade with buying transmutes? banned
The 20+ zug army that stands on the balcony at ubrs? they are banned too
the fact the GM got a free sub for banning the dude in less than 5 minutes with 0 investigation is a MASSIVE RED FLAG.
People supporting this are idiotic
You know what… we should all go to this guy YouTube or twitch let him know he needs to go PVE server or back to retail with warmode turned off.
If the GM helped him. How many other streamers were helped by a GM? Did they really get lucky on drops or did they have a little help?.
That streamer claims in his youtube comment section that his guild has been targetted and harassed for months via the dispellers and in discord
This happens to many guilds, this happens to my guild too, you know what we do?
WE KILL THE DISPELLER
P V P
Who cares? Welcome to the pvp server. They’re free to re-roll pve if they’re carebears.
Btw watch the OP’s stream at 8:18. He talks again about said priest and says griefing is a banable offense and that the priest was “reviewed” and found to be griefing.
As said, might be all an elaborate hoax (which really did not pay off for this streamer) or there is truth to this GM,streamer,dispeller love triangle.
Edit: at 8:22 said streamer also said the person got banned, but admits he does not know how long it was. This might be more detailed in the servers discord.
At 8:23 and 8:24 multiple people confirm he got IP banned and the number thrown around is 6 months. The streamer confirmed a ban as well. So something def. happened.
Regardless time to take action as in stop watching arlaeus. Let him know to go PVE or back to retail.
Obviously classic PvP is to much for him.
Thanks for the support brother, goes a long way! Tune in next week for Episode 3 on “Why parsing grey is not the games fault.” I got you fam.
