"it's not cheating or an exploit, it's a clever use of game mechanics which Blizz tolerates and actually encourages"

Sounds like you are biased against streamers to the extreme.

Im waiting for a single video or stream of Asmond or Esfand openly and knowingly exploiting anything.

In fact, both went out of their way to discourage layer tactics per their streams.

Alright dude, guess you clearly donā€™t understand the definition of that word.

He benefited and got to keep the loot. They could roll back everything but instead they choose to baby the streamers and punish the randoms who dont have an audience.

That literally says nothing about doing anything about it. That just says they were exploiting. Please copy and paste the actual words that say ā€œwe are taking action against them.ā€ Ill wait.

Lore is a fresh new twitch streamer hoping to get those host follow kickbacks. Seriously check out this twitter.

Thanks for the explanation. Helps understand what this is all about.

Check the classic reddit people are posting their bans and item removal.

How do you know they arenā€™t being banned?

Oh I see. Youā€™re one of those guys who has an irrational hatred for streamers. Sorry, iā€™ll let you have your meltdown in peace then.

And you know this how? Blue post?

Iā€™ve seen screenshots of people get a year ban for layer abusing - How could the gear gained from this possibly match against a free reclear of MC?

There literally isnā€™t a boss that could get enough loot to make up the strength disparity.

Lol no. Loreā€™s been streaming for years. Do you even know what he did before he started at Blizzard?

Iā€™m not talking about Esfand. Iā€™m talking about people who continually abused this knowing full well what they were doing.

According to Blizzard thatā€™s not the case, if you used layering as just explained by Lore then you were exploiting. And you deserve penalties commensurate to the level of exploitation engaged in.

They only banned intentional exploiters.

Anyone who ran into the exploit unintentionally, streamer or nor, has not been punished, i.e those who are not streamers also get to keep what they got.

Are people not reading the post? They jump up and down calling streamers this and that yet choose to ignore statements and create drama and discord in the community just because they donā€™t like them

A blue post to explain what is the difference between an accident and an exploit. Jesus, Internet!

They need to roll back their loot and not hand them the bans, period. They benefited from something not intentional that gives them an edge and hurts the economy. How the crap do you people not understand thisā€¦

You serious? One extra clear will not affect the economy, the economy is non existent at this point in the game.

If was an accident and the players have no intention to exploit the bug, have no reason to punish the players or remove their loot.

People love to live in hysteria. Stop using the Internet to externalize every frustration in your life.
