Don't play on a PvP realm, silly crybaby streamer.
The streamer should be banned for Naming and Shaming.
People playing classic it are in a different world. It's for these people it makes me think that they don't have any percepton of reality GMs including. Banning someone for using and ability... Also i recall a occasion where a player got banned for jumping on building and killing people from there.It's over Anakin i have the high ground.Obi-Wan Kenobi has been banned.
I'd laugh if the GM loses his job, and Arlaeus gets banned in the process.
The guy should be punished, yeah, but FFS don't throw the ban hammer as your first action! Suspend the guy for a few weeks, and if he comes back and continues the harassment THEN hit him with the ban.
Update:After suspension was lifted, The dispeller went to Orgimmar to dispell random people... and got banned AGAINhttps://clips.twitch.tv/AlertTacitWaffleNotATK
Streamers are literally the lowest form of life and this guy proves it once again.
These streamer wannabe elitist behaviour is really annoying and needs to stop. What is next? Streamers demanding people getting banned because strangers whisper them? Or other people on the AH undercutting them? Or reporting others that do more damage on a raid? All those streamers need to get a reality check, the world doesn't revolve around you and your *!@#. This stuff is part of the game since 15 years and now because a streamer decides to stream his gameplay in real time and gets open pvped on a PVP server THE STREAMER choose to play on! And now complains about it? Guess what dude... if you do not like the mechanic of pvp realms in combination of you real time public streaming, there are a couple of options. 1. Do not play on a PVP realm if real time streaming is more important to you than the game. 2. put a delay on your stream, problem solved. 3. do not stream at all if the game is more important to you than streaming. 4. -100. do play on a PVE server then... This streamer behaviour and their thinking that they deserve a special treatment compared to other people that do not stream is really ^&*!ing ridiculous. Also, how do you proof that someone "stream snipes" you? And is just not a normal pvp player that @#$%s with you on a PVP realm? How do you proof that to even get a slight reasoning to banning someone for it? This is just ridiculous....
People say pvp is pvp, and ganking comes along with it.I agree with that statement, but there's a line...If you go and bother a person so much that it is beginning to hinder his/her gameplay, then that is actually against the ToS.If this player always and always dispelled him while he was in loading screen, and killed him as well when he was... said he couldn't really play his character in a normal way, then that's hindering the person's gameplay and therefore it's against ToS, and thus also bannable... But it depends on how often it happens.... and this counts for everyone, also streamers.Not everything is really clear in this post tbh
TL;DR: streamer is a little ^&*!@ and whined to the GM because he got dispelled and took it as a hate crime against streamers.
GM seems to have massively over-stepped his boundaries here and shouldn't have that job if he does something like this - 6 god damn months for a dispel with NO evidence of it being griefing? Are you serious? HALF A YEAR for dispelling a streamer, this isn't like it's some extended stalking sequence going on where the offender has been making the streamers life hell for ages.If you didn't want to deal with pvp, do not roll on a pvp server.Certainly don't roll on a pvp server, start streaming and get a pet GM to ban people who are ""targetting you"" whenever something bad happens.
The true question here should be "is a streamer entitled for special treatment?" i dont remember any GM banning enemy players that dispelled me or killed me ever! that GM should be fired for abusing his power!
Really? People are crying about getting dispelled? I understand that it's frustrating but it's CLASSIC it was there since 4ever! Getting banned because you dispelled someone is kinda stupid. I get it that nolifers that just playing to dispel people are braindamaged players. This kind of people don't have life and this kind of activity makes them feel good. You have to feel sorry for them not ban them and then cry about it. Also saying "buffs are everything for people in classic" is kinda incorrect. Like c'mooon people! It's not vanilla where you REALLY needed these buffs to kill the boss. Now people finish raids with green gear without these buffs. For classic now buffs give opportunity to finish the raid faster and that's all. Making a whole thing about dispelling is kinda lame. It's Classic. Can't handle it? Don't play it then. Or go and stream in PvE server. Simple. Be a man and stop crying. And GMs should ban people for taking advantage of mechanics that are not in the game and not for things that ARE implemented to BE in the game as mechanics. That's just my opinion and nothing else.
I feel like lvling up a priest on this dudes server just to despell him constantly of his precious world buffs. Seriously, #$%^ this guy, and #$%^ the GM that banned that dude. GM should be fired and this streamer should be the one getting banned.
we live in the age of mob mentality and buthurt feelingsyou play in a pvp realm you simp grow a pair
It doesn't matter who the person is, dispelling someone in PvP is just that PvP. What is more troubling is the speed with which the GM acted. If he was friends, or close to that person, he should have passed it off to another GM. At the very least he is going to be in some hot water given Blizzard had to make a public statement over the whole ordeal.
I don't see any nuance here. This is a very clear case of a GM misusing their tools for private gain and ignoring due process. Whether dispelling is griefing or not does not even enter into it - even *if* if was a bannable offense, the GM is clearly in the wrong for taking requests directly from people they know (and like).

This is just a series of cockups and mistakes, its not particularly outrageous, GM's need to avoid being swallowed up in the moment, a good learning experience for them. Very easy to be swallowed up by assumption.
