Thank you Blizz for the banwave - pls do it more often and harsher

Note: Anyone who did not deserve to be banned should be unbanned

Tired of the r1s in this game further killing arena player base with their boosts. So disgusting to see blatant RMT sellers get banned and hop back on stream with a new account ready to boost. Please make an effort to ban people who evade and continue the same behavior. Also your banwaves aren’t fast enough, so please do them more frequently.

Cooked arguments I’ve seen defending these people so far:

“I feel bad for my favorite R1/streamer that I put in my mouth! If Blizz paid good money for AWC/tourneys my fav streamer/the top players wouldn’t have to boost!”

Uhh, not sure if you’ve noticed, but WoW is an extremely dead game, that’s why Blizz rewards essentially minimum wage pay for winning tourneys. Doesn’t give these people the right to break the game rules, and to be quite honest, if they want to make money from video games, they should focus on being good at games that actually award money. Just because you’re good at a video game doesn’t give you the right to RMT and suck it dry. What are they going to do when WoW is truly dead? Get a real job? LOL. And knowing how top players are, even if Blizz paid well, they’d still RMT regardless.

“Why is boosting for gold allowed via tokens if thats indirect RMT durrr”

Because that money is going to Blizzard, not Blazingboost.

Definitely don’t think any game can eradicate RMT I do think 6 months is pretty harsh and if you get caught you should have to deal with the in game consequences.

They should prioritize hitting the buyers as hard as possible

People just shouldnt be able to put another license on their old banned accounts and get all their mounts/achieves and xmorgs back.

God I would literally work for free if they made a job specifically to purchase to 3v3 and raid boosts, collect as many names as possible (buyers and sellers), and ban them all. Do this every day for 5 months on different characters/accounts made internally for this.

It does make bans kind of inconsequential, especially if they’ve got a buddy or gbank with gold.

You have some serious attachment issues to this game and might need to do a detox and find something meaningful to spend your time on. I mean this sincerely

If you think that is a serious attachment issue…

Did anyone in specific get banned or are we not allowed to name names on this forum?

Fried take. Sellers and buyers absolutely should both be getting nailed.

Seller doesn’t care they roll a new account. Taking a hard stance on buyers is a bigger deterrence

Buyer loses $ and an account they care about

living the dream tbh

still don’t know why thousands of people watch viewer 2v2 tho

Agree. Smurfing is ToS in pretty much every PvP game, it should be ToS in WoW too.

I mean if we are being real this banwave does jacksht for those who actually rmt on a consistent basis

like you are aware 99% of those who actually rmt already have backup accounts line up just inc ase they got banned right?

this literally doesn’t do anything lol players like asbur and quapy have like 2 extra accounts on standby idk why people act like this is a revolutionizing change that blizzard just put out

I don’t watch twitch but when my buddy sends a clip or whatever from twitch and I see the list of streamers on the left side in recommended with low viewer count who stream all day everyday I just can’t help but feel bad for some of them.

Like I’m supportive of folks trying to have a streaming career

But doing it via wow is not a really good idea.

?

what game is smurfing tos in i’m curious

probably most misinformed and delusional opinion i’ve seen

they’re waiting their turn

i’m not positive this is true at all, but even if it were, wow having rating per character and not account makes it pretty much impossible to apply here

literally not a single game has ever disallowed smurfing this guy is just making stuff up completely for attention lol
