Streamers Don't Seem To Be Welcome On WoW Classic's PvP Servers - MMORPG.com News
As the days wind down leading up to the launch of World of Warcraft Classic, the PvP community has essentially given a clear warning to anyone thinking of streaming the game: you're not welcome.

Well they're not wrong. It does seem overly petty though, is it because they don't want streamers to pull away from the power of these "... 4 well-known hardcore Pserver guilds..." or is it because streamers genuinely disrupt the PvP scene with their bids for attention? I'm not a hardcore (Or even softcore) PvP'r so I honestly couldn't begin to say. Can anyone shed some light on that?
Doubt something like this would be allowed by WOW.
apart from the raid for the streaming that in some cases give the items to him but that is what they decided on the same raid, if you join a streaming raid the safest thing that the loot for streaming have reserved. if you have problems with streaming, just don't join a guild that has one
Elite: Dangerous
Lets see your Battle Stations /r/battlestations
Battle Station
It's something that I do mostly during some downtime in video games. Let's say that I'm queued up for 20 minutes as a DPS for a dungeon and I don't feel like grinding mobs, well I'm probably going to watch some videos on Youtube or some Twitch streamer while I wait. Or sometimes it's just some background noise to make things more interesting while I'm gathering/crafting.
If you want a new idea, go read an old book.
In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.
To streaming a long time ago done mostly on Justin TV was to share the love of a game,NOW lmao it is all 100% about money with ridiculous fancy chairs and microphones.
Streamers are just people but they do not act like themselves,they try to be something better than themselves,tons of bragging,tons of sub sub sub yada yada.
I have never given any streamer a single dime and never will,they should pay me and others for making their channel busy.People actually make streaming video games a living lol,how sad that people pay others to stream a video game,not like they have to pay for the streaming service.
If a streamer wants to share the love of gaming,sure great but in this case,all it will be is some shit talking pvp Wow ,look how great i am ,how great my guild is,that guild is trash etc etc.
Remember all that talk about a toxic community,well here you go,this is Blizzard,condemns it but creates the platform for it to exist which is pvp.I even laugh at people who THINK i want to know what they played in Wow...oh I..me ..me I was a Resto Druid,good for you IDC.I played FFXI i played EVERY class how about that and we HELPED each other instead of trying to one up each other.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
It might be really cool if voluntary players could install addon that allows you to post bounty on them.
But if the victim isn't voluntarily using the addon himself, it's likely banworthy harassment if you try to systematically inform members of opposite faction where a member of your own faction is so that he could be killed in PvP. WoW PvP servers are faction vs. faction PvP. You're not allowed to systematically harass members of your own faction.
But if this addon really does stuff like ignores their whole guild, ask others to download the addon, gives raffled rewards for people who download the addon, etc. I don't think this is even a Blizzard matter any more. It's a police matter when someone tries to organize a large-scale cyber bullying campaign and goes as far as promising rewards to people who participate.
Which is what some other old person said when the first baseball game was televised. And football. And any other activity you can play yourself. I don't watch streamers, but I get it. It's partly social with your friends in chat, and partly watching something being done at a skill level above your own (like watching random sports during the Olympics.) Not to mention how much easier it is for Kids These Days to stay on their phones while watching a stream of a game, rather than playing it themselves.
Exactly why i moved to FFXIV, the community is so nice there and helpful. First time in an MMO i'm able to tank or heal with confidence of not getting shat on like in WoW.
No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.
The correct analogy to streamers and sports is like watching your neighbor's tubby son throw a ball in the air and catching it in his backyard.
There is a video game equivalent to professional sports - those tournaments and/or the best professional players competing against each other outside of money tournaments. That makes up like 1% of less of all the people watching other people play video games.
This streaming shit is creepy and weird. I fully understand why people want streamer-free servers.
If it's true I hope that the people that done the addond and people using it will get permanently banned. As bullying should never be allowed anywhere.
People seriously need to drop the redneck "we don't like your kind round here" mentality.
