Yes, Because that has never worked for anyone. I mean, Husky isn't really popular, TotalBiscuit is just a fool, and the sc2 community would be way better off without Day9 (who hasn't catered to proplayers since his early d9d shows imo). None of these guys deserve their popularity. Edit: Sarcasm isn't always easy to understand over the Internet, so I should probably put this note here saying that the above is exactly that  | ||

I don't really know him, but I watched a few of his vids and he seems like a nice, good hearted guy who really does enjoy playing WoW.. doesn't seem like the malicious type.. blizzard may have gone too far here.. | ||

I dont consider myself a great player, and even I beat Swifty's team in the arena back in the day. edit: No, thousands of people created a new character and logged in to the same realm at the same time and this resulted in the entire server to crash. This then happened several times, to several realms. If he is terrible, you probably don't know his ranks or you expect people to be not only 1% of best but rank 1-1. E: You beat him =/= His skill level. E2: I don't get why everyone got urge to post something about the happening without even knowing WHAT happened or WHO Swifty is. Still there's post like this, ._. | ||

I'd be curious to know the whole story because there has to be more to it. I'm guessing he might have been warned several times before about doing what he did and continued to do it anyway... I'd be really surprised if blizzard just perma banned the guy with no prior warning. I don't really know him, but I watched a few of his vids and he seems like a nice, good hearted guy who really does enjoy playing WoW.. doesn't seem like the malicious type.. blizzard may have gone too far here.. People have been perm banned for weirder things. Back when the Logitech G15 keyboards came out, there was a lot of people asking on the Bnet forums whetever they where allowed to use the macro keys to play WoW with. An official bluepost on the forum stated that this was legal. A day later, several people where banned for using macro keys on the g15 keyboard... I remember it clearly, because I had bought myself one as well, specifically to use with wow. Needless to say, that was a big waste  | ||

His arena/pvp guide are basics and some stuff has been arenajunkies forever (e.g Macros, setups, specs). Husky casts games, anyone can relate to that, same goes for TB. Oh, and Day9 has professional experience. There is a HUGE majority of people who can be considered noobs when compared to him, unlike Swifty. Sorry, I just don't enjoy his razer plugging videos. I'd rather have someone else make money. | ||

Out of all the PvP personalities to come out of WoW, Swifty is one of the more tolerable ones. Would you rather watch a Ming vlog? | ||

Just another reminder of why I left. Too bad for Swifty to get banned, I guess. | ||

Loose your job because your tools aren't good enough and having them stolen from you is bad. | ||

I'm not surprised Swifty got the ban for (un)intentionally doing it because even the capitals can't handle more then a few thousand at once. | ||
