Ah. In this case, it’s straight curiosity.
I haven’t been around for a few months.
I came back to see that this appears to happen frequently on this server now.
I am hoping that it isn’t happening when people do events, but I think it might be?
I guess to maximize their views and rake in money. Wouldn’t surprise me.
Toxic Streamers were a mistake.
If the only people who’ll come to watch your stuff are entertained by griefing and ruining other peoples’ day, your content sucks and so do you.
Aren’t all streamers are toxic?
Yeah, that’s the internet for you.
Too many people that get their jollies over doing that.
I am hoping this has not been affecting peoples’ events of either faction.
I typically attend a lot of cross-RP/cross factional events which would likely attract that kind of activity with those kind of people.
(It seems both factions have been having this issue happen if I am reading the history of this right(?))
Genuinely not too sure about that either. Like, kudos to the people who’ve made it and make content in the comfort of their own home for something that doesn’t in any way affect others, but now when I leave the house (not that I do that much, due to, you know, the plague) fire up a game of Hearthstone, run a raid, battleground, or even do a dungeon there’s an increasingly growing chance I’m going to be recorded or otherwise contribute to someone’s content in a way I can’t control other than keeping completely quiet.
Sure, population density and all that it’s a smaller window of opportunity but I’ve got screenshots from my Cyrodiil days in Elder Scrolls Online of people saying I got mentioned on someone’s stream because I’d be a zone leader running groups, or got lumped in on them during a Veteran run. I ran with some streamers in WoW and it was so awkward to be in dungeons and raids, and then when they ran afoul of guild rules it was “whatever, I’ve got 100 viewers I’m a rock star I don’t need you, I can drop slurs if I wanna!”
And that was just the ones I know about. I’m not trying to be a 100% isolated person in a multiplayer game or anything but I have less and less inclination to do anything all the way down to roleplaying knowing that at any given second with a few clicks of a button you’re being broadcast.
i know ruin crashed running of the gnomes lol
This is an interesting perspective. A concerted effort by whom, and why? Not being facetious, genuinely curious. 
I’ve noticed Alliance RP slowly dying off, as well.
Dodger, Totalbiscuit (rest in peace), Genna Bain (Totalbiscuit’s wife), Jesse Cox, Crendor are in no way toxic streamers.
We didn’t crash at any point, unless you mean on Classic maybe? I wasn’t there for the Classic run.
Instead Ruin tried to take credit for the charity.
Wasn’t TotalBiscuit an extremely large voice during GamerGate?
edit: I also remember him wishing rectal cancer on people which uhhhh, you know
Yeah not to turn this into a battleground but Totalbiscuit could go on some really, really toxic tears that then got a lot of really, really toxic people unironically following him because “We’re so alike.”
They did? That’s stupid.
Streamer taking advantage of Blizzards spineless coummunity managment and making money off it.
That’s it.
He was also an overt TERF who made several comments on trans people being mentally ill/deserving to die. All on record in various places. And when he would collab with Jesse Cox they became an extremely homophobic duo.
I’m also not surprised in the slightest that an openly alt right guild is brigading for homophobes and transphobes, but that’s beside the point.
That sounds about correct then.
It is obvious they won’t say it “on stream” but their actions say otherwise, and you follow the money.
(It also explains why both factions are rejecting help from other large communities.)
who’s we? are you in ruin? lol
She helped run Running of the Gnomes.
I believe she was talking about the gnome run. Not Ruin.
good i was about to have whiplash if it was ruin
That certainly would ruin some opinions I have
