EPTI don't care much for him, but I hate when a group of rabid fans do mass spamming to get his account back or call Blizzard retarded and to fix their game by adding in features that are impossible to do without ruining the overall experience of a zone.

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. Swifty is making this video as an attention-magnet. He knows he has no chance of getting his account back - Blizzard, quite frankly, does not give a shit how many people object to banning any one WoW player. They NEVER go back on these kinds of decisions when you try to force their hand by appealing to popular sentiment, and players much more well-known and much more talented than Swifty have been in the exact same position. This little campaign he's running is just another attempt to get more exposure for his ridiculous con game, pawning off common knowledge and low-level tricks and exploits to newbie players. | ||

I've crashed the wow server several times back when I was playing as well. Once when my guild tried to do a serverwide pvp event with alliance vs the horde in a huge PvP zone. And the other when trying to raid Thrall..with the entire server yet again  Both back in lvl 60 days. I don't remember anyone being banned for it =| | ||

I dont think you know what ddos is, because it has nothing to do with this case 2. As far as I know they crashed multiple servers, which means they deny playing for everyone on that server, so ofc Blizz will take action. 3.It is impossible to completely protect your servers from flooding unless you port people do different locations ,i.e. different servers ( chat servers, area servers, etc) affected and not just one its still sad for him tho | ||

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. When I played WoW 2 years ago, the servers crashed all the time when Orgrimmar was full on saturday. When I played WoW, there were people that some of you might know (Kungen, anyone?) that crashed the server when being online. When his guild changed the server, the server was crashing from that point every day. Kungen and his friends are supported by Blizzard. Swifty's not, but helping the community more than Kungen and his friends ever could. Guess who's banned, guess who's not? That's simply not fair. | ||

Kungen didnt tell people on stream to change to the next server when his server crashed, so that the next one could possibly also crash | ||

How can you possibly say that Swifty is "helping" the WoW community? He's a profiteer making money off of people too stupid to realize that they're getting basic knowledge, not "leet pvp tricks." he's garbage on every level - a terrible player conning people too ignorant to know any better. | ||

To be honest, I'm more perplexed than anything else. I cannot believe this scumbag has fans. Like, actual fans. People who think that he's giving out good advice, and that he's doing it to help people. That's just so far off-base that it blows my mind. I'm not going to claim Arenajunkies is anything but a cesspit of inflated egos playing FOTM comps, but at least they see Swifty for what he is. | ||

For the people saying he's making this video to get people to write angry emails - no, he's making it because he has 158k subs and not informing them would be weird don't you think? Besides, as some have pointed out, he HAS done a lot for the wow-community. The amount of money Blizzard makes off of the people who play because of Swifty is probably quite a lot more than you make a year. | ||

Stupid move to ban him, and he probably will get his char back. I havent played wow for a while now, but I always liked swifty for his happy and fun attitude. No reason to hate on the guy really, he is just having a fun time playing a game he loves (and making money while doing it). | ||

Overall he also has alot of charisma, and if you want a reason why he is good; he is good enough to have anti fans, one way or the other blizzard just caused a huge reputation dip for him. this guy were also genius at findig weird script which had no influence other than eye candy mostly which made his hands glow etc... (except that one which made him able to charge in combat stance, in vanilla WoW). but even though that happend it's not gonna make him quit the game, if anything he will just get more fans cus of the sympathy for him now sooo. Still dumbfounded that blizzard did what they did, lol On July 19 2011 04:47 Gaxton wrote: The people over at Arenajunkies (pretty much the elitists/top-tier of the pvpscene) seem happy about it. http://www.arenajunkies.com/topic/205823-swifty-perma-banned/ People love to hate swifty | ||

That actually has nothing to do with what I said, because being friends with a developer and appealing to popular sentiment are not related in the slightest, but I like how you threw that out there and then didn't support it with any factual reference or specific examples. | ||
