WoW DDoS Hardcore

I suspect this will cost them more players as the streamers and FOTM players were always going to leave, but now they have lost many of the true hardcore players.

Is this the latest and greatest deathknell of WoW?

I also suspect now Blizzard is going to get a crushing number of people requesting that their HC death be reversed, since if they do it for streamers, how is it not fair to resurrect them for something they don’t deem fair.

This was addressed in the announcement:

@Kaivax

Our broader stance on character restorations or death appeals has not changed. To be clear, we do not intend to revive characters which have died due to server disconnects, lag spikes, gameplay bugs, or any other reasons. Blizzard Customer Support cannot assist with issues related to characters who have died on Hardcore realms.

having shown complete favoritism for streamers over their actual player base.

Correct me, if I’m wrong, but aren’t the streamers also part of the ‘actual playerbase’? And I haven’t seen anything anywhere that indicates any preferential treatment for streamers to the exclusion of the rest of the ‘actual playerbase’. If I missed it, please point it out to me.
