GM banned a world buff dispeller for 6 months because of his streamer getting dispelled

you have a Warped sense of the Word.

Killing a Player is PvP, killing a Player 100 times is Griefing.

Do u know what griefing means?.. because u soiund like you really dont, u can Grief a Community of Players Just as much as a Single player and the punishment still stands when Grtiefing a Community or a Single player.

this guys not killing PvP enabled players, hes DIspelling players and thats it, its not PLAYER VS PLAYER if your literally not VSing each other lol. ur Just harrassing players who are trying to pve.

and Sure.

thats why PvP in both classic and retail are dying out. Because Players lose faith in the community of the game because People do this and others go on to defend it lol.

u wonder why blizz dont give a crap about pvp, when u guys behave like this xD it litterally does nothing but make the Community look bad and shed a ton of negative Light on the games community.

p.s i said I dont think its worth a ban in my first statement :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

“Trying to PvE”, then move to a PvE realm.

It’s still “player vs player”, regardless of whether it’s a dispel or not.

No, it’s because carebears like you call PvP as griefing lol.
You don’t like WPvP = Reroll to PvE realm, it’s not that hard.

Dispelling players / PvPing should never be a bannable offence.
There is PvE realms to avoid dispels/PKing for a reason.

its not crying nor a carebear. i actually find it funny
 and even said i dont feel its worth a band


you can like PvP Without Liking the Idiotic behaviour of some.

the fact you guys stand behind this
 is hilarious, ur fine with the community ruining a game feature entirely
 xD

when u go 100% one side or they put warmode in classic to solve the problems
 you’ll be crying then.

I’m not even standing behind it, I’m merely stating it’s a PvP feature.
There are literally PvE realms for avoiding the dispels.

Stick to them, if you care about your world buffs so much.

I don’t even get world buffs.

I don’t agree. Look: In Vanilla, camping one’s corpse was everyday work and a 50% occurrence, given the nearby quests, as far as I remember. So it’s not griefing but by design (!) which led to entire playerwars.

The decision to stream on a PvP server is, in my view, a natural part of the community process that enables new avenues of the game, as intended. To define rules in a sandbox environment is to neglect the game.

“wow dudes I sure love to sow but when it’s time to reap boy do I hate it, anyway PvP servers are the only way to go because you’re just a baddie if you’re not on a PvP server, whoahw what the hell my sweaty PvE buffs I don’t need to beat literally any of the absolutely easy content are getting dispelled?!?!?!?!”

“you don’t PvP to help them, you’re just doing it to make people angry, that’s called griefing”

Just because someone doesn’t like someone who actively sits in 1 spot and just dispels people who pass by, doesn’t mean that they don’t want PvP.

It’s not griefing. People are forgetting the big picture; dispelling buffs makes your faction more likely to win the battle of BRM.

Whose quote is that? :smiley: I swear it’s the dumbest thing someone said in regards to PVP servers


soda “apes who” poppin

Hello.

We take reports like this very seriously.

Early this morning, we opened an internal investigation into the matter. While investigating, we overturned the suspension and reached out to the suspended player.

To everyone who brought it to our attention: thank you very much!

Tbh, I was more pissed about the guy who ganked me on the Tanaris escort quest at lvl42 than I was at losing world buffs.

90% of world pvp is about pissing off the other player.

Thank you for your response, can you clarify that this behavior, by dispelling people-- Is not a banable offence? Just so other people arent worried to catch a ban.

Thank you for reaching out to the player and lifting his ban. I hope to see the appropriated action taken against this GM.

Then those people should play on a PvE server if they REALLY need those buffs and losing them puts them so over the edge that they get a guy banned.

Losing wbuffs sucks and I don’t think anyone actually likes dispellers but that’s just something you have to play around on a PvP server and that’s fine.

The danger off getting dispelled and work around it, is part of the classic pvp server experience.
the 1.12 state of the game is nerfed to death and stale enough. The danger of getting dispelled is literally the only thrill left.

I respect your opinion but in my opinion there is a difference between using the stream to get an upper hand on a gank for example and just having absolutely no intention of winning the fight but doing your best to screw over that person your trying to attack. If it was one or twice it wouldnt matter but this person has been doing this for a good amount of time. Whether or not you think thats par for the course doesnt matter when its in breach of TOS as it is classified as griefing.

No. Why would it?

The streamer issued an apology and basically tried to justify himself/blame himself at the same time as saying it’s not the GM’s fault that the GM banned the guy.

You’re there like
 that’s like asking a bank to transfer £50 from somebody’s bank account into your bank account for instance.
And saying it’s your fault, not the banker’s fault.

The GM needs to be taught how to do his job instead of just banning people on a streamer’s rage.

I know you often have a hard time understanding what I say, so I’ll simplify it for you.

If you dispell people just to anger them, you are griefing

I don’t think you should be banned for it, but at least be honest with yourself. You don’t dispell people because you’re trying to cleanse the world of evil world buffs, you’re doing it to cause misery and frustration; that is the very definition of griefing. You gain nothing from it other than the joy of ruining somebody else’s experience

World PVP isn’t the same as dispelling, dying, resurrecting and then doing the same again. You actually have to be better than the other person for World PVP. Pressing “dispell” isn’t beating anyone

I agree, this shouldn’t be bannable. But dispellers should still be honest with themselves; they’re simply griefing.

No, it isn’t stupid logic at all. If somebody kills you in PVP, they actually have to beat you. There’s little counterplay to being dispelled, aside from stocking yourself up on buffs that waste the dispells.

I have read the terms of service, hense why I’ve said time and time again:

No, I don’t think dispelling should be bannable

But be honest with yourself. You’re not competing with the opposing faction by dispelling them. You’re doing it for the sole purpose of making somebody angry. Nothing more, nothing less.

That’s called griefing
