- Perm bans on players who tried a simple bug in the game is very extreme.
I don't agree. In my personal polluted view of this game. Every "exploit" is seemingly met with a lukewarm response. Temporary banning, rollbacks. By taking a hardline they're hopefully establishing a precedent. You yourself mentioned that point in your video. A deterrence. We can only hope it actually holds water.
- This banwave had absolutely nothing to do with botters, botters remain untouched (bots are extremely sophisticated).
Sad thing that is too. Botting as pervasive and undermining as ever.
- 17 passives was nowhere near the level of game breaking as blood shard goblins exploit, yet the passive bug was treated with much more extreme measures.
I don't know which is more game breaking. But the latter part of your statement harkens back to the first point.
In your video I found it alarming that you were so dismissive of this particular exploit and the reaction BYpersistently comparing it to other egregious offenses. Someone earlier made an apt analogy about being pulled over for speeding and asking the police officer why they aren't chasing murderers. I can't think of a better way to put it. A powerful lesson this has been for some.
I Agree with this; MCookie opinion is pretty dumb by comparing HFA offense with other stuff and being dismissive with it. The speeding ticket analogy is a good example. But yea; I can share the same opinion that Blizzard should do something about botters; but can they do? But that's another issue; not the same one; and both issues (HFA and botting) should have the same punishment; be banned for using both.
