Ok so i went to watch Datmodz, and his title is "rollbacks are happening". Can anyone clarify as what this means? i wasn't updated!
Basically, any player that has exploited certain bugs within the game broke rules specifically stated by Blizzard and their Dev Crew.
So, a rollback essentially is going to take these accounts, and roll them back to the initial day of seasons, or the 1st known day of the Blood Shard exploit.
Lesson here, do not cheat, nothing good ever comes from it.
That's a pathetic punishment. Those shits should've been perma banned... cheat, break the rules? You're out from the season mate, see ya in S4. But no, why disqualify them... ehh, Blizzard. A giant pussy just waiting to get fucked.

The move is perfectly proportional. Streamers who advertised, instructed, and promoted the exploit should be banned, and at least one of them was. But I find a rollback to be a perfectly proportionate response here.
The most important aspect is to prevent people from engaging in future exploits. To get people to do what myself and many others did; See that there's an exploit going on, grin, and ignore it. What's most important is the signal that was sent.
There's no need for bloodshed. You have to appreciate the politics of a multi-billion dollar company arbitrarily banning accounts across the board, many of which were simply ignorant to the fact that partaking in such an exploit was actually a banable offense.
Ignorance of the law yadda yadda yadda, I get it. BUT, they know now and are, even if nominally, being made to pay for it. Those who slipped through the cracks STILL learned a lesson here, and that's all that matters in the end.
I basiclly do not care about these players but I think they should be fair to all players who exploited. Either Ban or Rollback. Their current punshiment seems a bit to random.
with that said happy looting and farming in Sanctuary
It's not really random at all, Mannercookie got banned because he was blatantly all like "oh yeah I'm gonna stream the shit out of this exploit and spread the word so everyone knows how to reproduce it, nothing will happen to me!" People who do it discreetly are in trouble but people who publicise it like that are basically painting a gigantic ban me target on their face.
However, they wont risk perma-banning all the streamers and high profile personalities that did it, I doubt even Mannercookie's ban will last very long. Blizzard simply get too much free advertisement and interest in their game through these people. Seriously, the amount of money Blizzard potentially saves each year from having random people advertise their games on twitch is astronomical, not to mention the hundreds of new players that buy their games because they saw their favourite streamer playing it.
Bans would be extreme imo rollbacks are the way to go.
Its blizzards game after all they are responsible for bugs and glitches and they had a very long ptr period to sort them.out. Permabanning players would be just silly for things they missed.
Players are supposed to be playing the game not fixing it for the company.
Wow unbanned and they only suffered rollbacks , cheating fucks should be perma banned .
So what Blizz are saying is you can get away with anything , so carry on . can't understand why they did rollbacks , was that to appease the masses , well I for one am not appeased , cheating twats should be gone .
If I could I would ban the feckers off the forums .

Gabynator got a rollback, maybe that's what he's referring to.

I think blizzard handled this perfectly.
Interesting that MannerCookie was unbanned, didn't expect that. Was Gabynator and his clan member banned?
