Is dispelling World Buffs now bannable?

Can we get some insight into your findings detective?

World buff dispelling is a cancer. On Grobb multiboxer shaman lives in BRM. Please consider removal of world buff dispell. Even though I’m priest I’m strongly against it. Just make world buffs to work only for PvE and to be not dispellable.

How about no!

My god the amount whining from PvPers is insane. What a bunch of care bears.

In your opinion it’s not PvP. By the rules it is acceptable, period. If he got over half his WB’s before being killed isn’t “instagibbed”. Be smarter and you can avoid it.
Not that I totally disagree with you on the WB argument.

BUT the guy being banned for something that has been in the game for 15+ years because some streamer has a GM in chat and is pissed off about losing his buffs is a joke. Whether you or I think it’s pathetic isn’t the point. He should not have been banned for it.

On PVP servers, World Buffs are a privilege, not a right!

Strii-aerie-peak · July 17, 2020, 9:35pm

Agreed!

Love WBs. But i knew the risk that came along with PvP servers. Anyone who advocates against this belongs on a PvE server, because they arent ready for PvP servers

Ban the GM and ban streamers.

Donkles-bloodsail-buccaneers · July 17, 2020, 9:39pm

He sure showed integrity with how he checks notes banned a guy because a streamer didn’t like him, for doing something that isn’t a bannable offence, and doing so in 5 minutes or less, at the streamer’s beck and call.

Yup. That’s what integrity looks like, according to Misadventure.

You mean reverted?

My whole point was that Blizzard would have more details than we. I’m glad that the system worked out today and that they chose to take it more seriously.

Amarlly-azuremyst · July 17, 2020, 9:42pm

I suspect the GM involved is probably having a bad day today …

Stephtron-moon-guard · July 17, 2020, 9:45pm

The classic community is way too harsh. On both sides of this situation, it’s just so toxic I can’t believe the stuff i’ve seen.

Remember, at the end of the day, this is just a video game guys.

Voidous-emerald-dream · July 17, 2020, 9:48pm

It has nothing to do with PvP. It’s about people who stay dead in BWL orb room only to rez and to dispell someone from a raid that about to enter BWL before die again. It’s nothing but grieving. It will continue on AQ40. If you lost your buffs in raid on raid wPvP then PvP happened.

Pollz-bloodsail-buccaneers · July 17, 2020, 9:51pm

A paying customer’s legitimate account being revoked because some dude had a pocket GM is worthy of outrage.

It is just a video game, and having that time and money stripped away because a person following the rules made some one else grumpy is entirely unacceptable.

Mikoshi-illidan · July 17, 2020, 9:52pm

A good start, but it doesn’t address the streamer who seemingly paid one of your staff to ban a player for inconveniencing them with PvP on a PvP server. I’d hope that there’s further investigation into that streamer, but I won’t hold my breath. A GM making a poor decision in a vacuum is bad, but that they made that decision at the direction of a non-staff member is deeply troubling, especially when it’s at the direction of someone who managed to get their own ban overturned through similar means.

Stephtron-moon-guard · July 17, 2020, 9:54pm

what happened to the guy is toxic

what is happening to the blizzard employee and streamer (who has apologized) is also toxic

world buff dispelling is toxic

min/maxers are toxic

it’s just a never-ending cycle of toxicity responding to other instances of toxicity. it’s an unhealthy community at this point and it’s sad to see

Rautaketju-herod · July 17, 2020, 9:54pm

GMs are not devs.

No, that’s whining from PvEers who rolled on PvP realms for some reason.

Real PvPers don’t cry about PvP happening on a PvP realm.

Strii-aerie-peak · July 17, 2020, 9:55pm

Not liking =/= toxic

Mikoshi-illidan · July 17, 2020, 9:55pm

It’s a PvP server. It’s right there in the blizzard TOS that the solution to PvP on a PvP server is to reroll/transfer to a Pve server. I legitimately can not emphasize with this mentality that because it’s something you don’t like, it must be “griefing”.

It’s not even that hard to deal with, summon a bait player, let the dispel nerd pop up to dispel the person who comes out of the portal. Immediately kill the priest, then you’ve got however long it takes them to corpse walk back, to summon the real person.

Hareem-incendius · July 17, 2020, 9:57pm

According to the streamer, he was fired but this is only hearsay. Frankly I would be surprised if the GM involved here kept his job. His/her conduct was flagrantly unprofessional. GM’s shouldn’t be buddying around in streamers’ twitch chats. The fact that the GM was there when this happened is troublesome. How long was he in that twitch chat?

Pollz-bloodsail-buccaneers · July 17, 2020, 9:57pm

That is what people signed up for by playing on a PvP server though. They consented to every moment of it. It could be labeled toxic, sure…but it is within the rules of the game.

Having your time and money stripped from you for playing by the rules because it made someone else upset is unacceptable. And equating the two is absurd.
