Think of this as Idra suddenly being perma banned from SC2 for hosting a huge competition and accidentally crashing battle.net. It's not the same at all, and what he's doing right now is almost exactly the same as Idra did to get him the 3 month suspension... IE: Getting his fans to spam Blizzard with appeals, instead of going for an appeal himself. | ||

Of course, he'll just dip into the huge pile of money he made from ripping newbies off and he'll buy another copy of the game. You can take a Warrior 1-80 in about 3 days, so all this sympathy for him is total farce. | ||

Swifty didn't want to crash servers and yet thousands of morons didn't listen. Well being e-famous like that and having thousands of retarded fans brings some level of responsibility with it, he should've just canceled the event after he fucked up one server. | ||

But if you crash 2 servers, and proceed to keep going and crash even more, you have to be pretty damn stupid and deserve what's coming. I understand the GM that banned him and the ones that made the decision to a 100%. I would do the same thing in blizzards position. While I might not be swifty's biggest fan, Blizzard has 11 million players, and yet they cant seemingly have a server that can handle a huge influx? Most servers have a population cap so you cant do this shit, and the contest or w/e it was, was held in good fun and not a purposeful way to crash the server. It's not like they tell you, "You crashed the server", so how was he supposed to know it wasn't a virus or something? I vote for an unban and an apology from blizzard. | ||

Swifty tried to host a huge contest and have fun with everyone. Idra got a 3 month suspensive from a forum he has stated he doesn't care about. Swifty got perma banned from the game his live revolves around. I'm not seeing the connection here, are you? EDIT: oh wait, are we not talking about the same thing? nvm me  I havent heard about this. Did Idra get banned from sc2 as well? | ||

They had no intention in harming ANYONE. they just wanted to have some fun together with 1000 people. They did nothing wrong at all. You better learn to think or go out some times, because you are socially more than awkward, just from what I can read in your post. Hey dude, there's no need for personal attacks. Your first 3 sentences were enough. | ||

Athene did the same thing, but he actually had a goal to crash the servers. | ||

He crashed multiple servers. When a server crashes, you know it. When it happens twice in a row while you're filling a small area with thousands of players, it should be abundantly clear what happened. He made a series of incredibly dumb and inconsiderate decisions. He got banned for it, and deserved to get banned for it. He knocked thousands of players out of the game across multiple realms. You'd fee differently if you were in the process of distributing loot or about to down a new boss when the server crashed. He might have had good intentions, but at some point it doesn't matter. He's at fault whether he was being malicious or just stupid. | ||

Swifty is trying with that video to make all of his fans send angry mails about this "injustice" Idra told all his fans to go complain to a mod about his first 3 day ban. That's the connection to what he's doing right now. Reading in the thread, it would seem he didn't stop at one server and knocked out a few before they got to the source IE: him. Should he appeal it? Probably. Should he get his fans to appeal it? Not if he really wants his account back. | ||

- make billions - no ddos protection I remember our ironforge raid crashed their servers like 5-6 years ago. You'd think by now they would have a limit of connected users in one zone implemented. Then again with the recent sony hacks I shouldn't be surprised. | ||
