He won the roll. Giving it to someone else is scamming.

[@Sonnabend00]

Dont cheat players out of gear they won by using a dps meter as a way to steal what isnt yours. Dont use mass insults and swear on Twitch Dont go where you arent supposed to be and dont exploit glitches. Dont use vpns to log into an MMO Seems simple to me.

[@tek512]

Some added context: The rogue in Payo's raid had paid to be there. Denying this individual their loot was definitely against TOS.

[@54tisfaction]

Even if he hadn't paid, he was allowed to roll, so to then AFTER the roll ignore his win was just a dick move.

[@DB-hs9qt]

Paying to be in the raid group is against the TOS too. Technically, so public trades.

[@dadaniel2k11]

It's annoying, but rolling is law. If you start to mingle with who or what performed better or worse you might as well go back to dkp. Rogue was there. Rogue was shit but a roll is sacred nonetheless.

[@Kacino777]

I had something similar happen to me back in Cata that happened to Soda. My account was hacked and the hacker had cleaned me out. Apparently, he was also breaking TOS as I found myself in some weird out of bounds zone when I got control of my account back. A GM got ahold of me wondering what I was doing there, and I had to explain to him that I was hacked. Thankfully, the GM must have confirmed it by looking up the ticket I had sent and ported me back to SW. I eventually got my gear and gold back. For them to ban Soda after he was hacked is weird especially since customer service would have him on record as being hacked.

[@texasdad2372]

Love the "elite" idiots who always say "your dps is to low,you have shit gear" then when gear comes up,they give it to the better geared toons because,hey why not lol.

[@joshuanoble5895]

Yeah I'm not sure how he got in trouble there. Besides maybe allowing a second roll. He clicked need he won. Ban wow for giving it to him.

[@JohnHandle-]

yeah no, my raid lock, my raid group, my decision to give it to whoever the fuck i want. He wasn't banned because he 'loot scammed', if he had never allowed the person to roll for the gear in the first place then he never would've been banned period. It was the fact that he allowed the person to roll for the loot and then changed his mind after that got him banned.

[@venoxxie]

Tbh it was his fault for letting that tcpo guy even stay there. He should have spoke up like "Hey, this guy isn't repaired, isn't specc'd right, is doing horrible damage, etc. Should we REALLY keep him or let him have any loot?" and let the group decide from there or just kicked him if he was the raid leader. Not "Ok let him roll on loot." and think he won't win the roll (since he clearly did). Because that pretty much is loot scam... dude allowed him to roll, he won, and it got stolen from him because of his terrible dps. Ye don't just do that because someone had low dps...

[@speedbump9299]

Going to point this out though. In classic wow replacing people who were not up to snuff was not nearly as easy as it is modern day. Someone would of had to of gone outside the raid and put that they were looking for another member for the raid. This could take quite a large chunk of time to do. Now I do feel like yes he did get screwed over on the loot. Also at that time they used DKP (Dragon Kill Points). DKP could impact your roll score or if you were eligible for roll. This scenario could of been what occurred that made him decide to have everyone reroll it. Now what I believe here is that instead of doing a full reroll it should of just gone to the 2nd person if that was the case. So yeah i do agree it was pretty much a loot scam in that scenario.

[@Lucifronz]

@@speedbump9299 No matter what way you look at it, it's not a scam. It's someone undeserving being punished for their stupidity. But that doesn't make it right and at the least the guy was entitled to the item he won. Banning over it is nonsense, though.

[@speedbump9299]

@@Lucifronz really though he should of been told pre rolls he was disqualified from receiving items due to that

[@Lucifronz]

@@speedbump9299 Clearly poor handling of the situation by the streamer, I won't deny that.

[@Jonsse]

You can't exclude people from rolling due to poor performance if you don't state before hand that poor performance excludes you from rolling on loot. I'm glad blizzard enforces these loot rules. I wouldn't have wanted that rogue to have gear either, but the rules are there for your benefit even when they don't work in your favor.

[@Crogatho]

That Payo guy definitely did something, he scammed someone out of their loot.

[@thechosenone729]

Yeah he acted like regular asshole, guy should have it even he was bad. He rolled and win he decided not giving it to him and it was taken as loot scuming and he got banned rightfully.

[@1994BlackBear]

But Why is a matter for a GM? They dont Ban ninja looters either

[@KolossusB]

@@1994BlackBear Because it's in Blizz's best interest to protect the integrity of group looting rules. If they don't, even more assholes like payo ramp up their loot shenanigans making the game ridiculously toxic, then people just stop playing cause they don't want to deal with it. Pretty sure blizz dosen't want to bleed subs because they don't want to deal with assholes who change the rules on the fly to the suit themselves.

[@kippies66]

Agreed. If they wanted to punish the rogue because they turn up with the 'wrong' spec or played very badly, they should have been kicked before the loot rolls or the veyryboss fight itself. By allowing the rogue to roll for loot, Payo sealed the 'agreement to loot rules' on his end. Changing his mind because the rogue won the roll is not a valid reason to withold loot, as at that point both parties agreed to the same loot rules. Violating these rules is indeed a justified ban.

[@MrNo1fan]

So basically all those bans are not the streamers fault, just shows how "customers service" fukking sux in general.

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

Oh for sure. I found out first hand and my Instagram ban was even more fucked up. I created an Instagram account follow 8 people, that's all I do, I don't use a VPN etc, I don't post anything. All I did was follow 8 other accounts. About 2 weeks later I can't log in and it says my account has been banned for violating TOC. Apparently following people on Instagram is a violation so it's strange that not all accounts are banned then.

[@LuminousWhispers11]

Well, besides the loot one.

[@srmatrong]

the crazy thing about the punkrat story, i witnessed it, and on youtube he asked for people to send in tickets to ask him get unbanned, since i liked his content i tried to help him out. and after about a month after i sent the ticket, twitch actually emailed me back and said my ticket was spam (or something i can't remember exactly) and gave ME a soft ban!

[@Fettman07]

And yet somehow he will be correct over a long enough time span.

[@kyleellis1825]

Well, for it to be the early days, it just needs to be in the first 50% of expansions. Vanilla-Shadowlands is 9 expansions, so MoP is exactly in the middle. With Dragonflight, it's now in the first half of expansions and is technically the early days.

3 expansions before 4 expansions since. It’s earlier than not and every year it gets more and more accurate to call it the early days. When we are 12 expansions in pandaria will be considered early days.

[@memebowdashpoposhy1699]

During the Warlords of Draenor era of the game, when I was leveling one of my accounts, there was a quest boss in the southern part of Gorgrond in this cave, and he uses fear, and if he uses that near the entrance to the cave, your character would path through the wall and fall into the void. This happened to me once and I was confused, but once i gained back control I fell into the void below and got kicked out of the game, I couldnt log back on so I had to submit a ticket. An hour later my account was back on the surface, and within 20 minutes a GM dmed me informing me im about to get a 3 day ban...which i tried to quickly explain its their own gamed mechanics fault before I got kicked off. Legit annoyed at that still. I managed to get an unban by calling support and calling out the bs on how it was handled. But Im pretty sure I wasnt the only one who accidently stumbled upon this.

Awhile ago, someone in my VC slipped and said the "N" word, and thankfully I wasn't banned. However, Twitch contacted me, told me I need to inform those who are in VC with me what they can't say while I'm live. And deleted my broadcast. Selective sometimes I've noticed....

[@BansheeKing22]

[@michaelwood5138]

Doing low dps doesn't deserve a punishment, just constructive criticism.

[@kyleellis1825]

If they consistantly did nothing for a few bosses, it's fine to tell them they are excluded from the drops on future bosses. They aren't ready for the raid and shouldn't be taking gear from people who did do the work to gear up properly. But you can't let someone roll and then not give the item to the winner.

The video should be renamed to 5 WoW Streamers Who Got BANNED for BS reasons. None of these "offenses" are actual offenses but overzealous moderators and poorly designed bots.

Blizzard security is horrendous. There was a time many years ago I hadn't played in years and my account was accessed by someone and some gold and items were removed. That was entirely on Blizzard's security. I hadn't received any "phishing" attempts, entered that account info anywhere in years. No possible way for anyone to have gotten that information.

[@KodokuSamaa]

Still sounds like entirely on YOU. It's YOUR responsibility to have your account secure, not Blizzard. In fact, their TOS states they can ban you at ANY TIME THEY DESIRE. You use their service, the account is still THEIRS. Anyway back on topic, you could have made a more difficult password using symbols like @! and a mix of capitals and normal letters. Also depending on how long ago this was, you could have an authenticator added, either physical or through your phone. Noone just randomly gets hacked in a game like WoW. You either left your info somewhere or had too poor of a security and/or made a lot of enemies that would want to clean your account.
