Well streamers getting a free pass was expected. They are Classic, Actiblizz and shareholders best friends anyway (best sort of marketing for a video game in 2019).
Esfand did get a nice PR stunt as well and get more famous by that move (asking GM while exploiting) and avoid backlash. Note that I have nothing against him. I saw a couple of his videos and he seems like a genuine nice guy.
No, I just hate cancel/outrage culture and the internet's hivemind tendency to admonish and exaggerate the negative effects of exploits. Blizzard provided a perfectly reasonable explanation of their stance yet you still see people in this thread smugly proclaiming anything less than a permaban isn't justice served. Why? Why care so fucking much about other people's punishment? It's perverse. I do not think other people should revel in the punishment of others.

Good response from Blizz side imho.
There is already a post on reddit with email screenshot about 1 month ban. Hopefully it is not fake one.
Would love to see these greedy ass people being banned and crying on their shady discords.
As always in these type of threads people focus on streamers being banned instead true exploiters that ruined some servers enconomy...
Blue poster provided info about Esfand so he is clean.
What about Asmon? Anyone can provide any vid of him doing it?
Oh, wait... there is none since it is easier to blame streamers for everything without any proof.

So Esfand report it and clear it anyway ? a two times clear ina week and the devs said its ok they can clear ? wtf
hah yeah its weird. When Blizzard knew this is not intended, shouldnt they just have recommended esfand and his raid not to reclear MC?
its a seperate bug, so that might have something to do with it. I still find it weird. It probably got something to do with esfands status in the wow community. Well liked guy allround with a big network, among fans and people inside Blizzard. So that probably has alot to do with it.
And how do you know if someone intended to do something? Can you read minds?
While you're "fixing" stuff how about you nerf spellcleave meta, Acti-Blizz? This is getting out of hands. Instances with 2+ mages don't need a tank or healer at all. It's super effective and absolutely ruins party play. Try to do a quest with 2-3 mages aoe grinding a quest spot. Good luck with that.
This is hilarious! Remember when this didn't happen in Vanilla? Because layering wasn't in vanilla, that's why! I'm beginning to wonder if Activision Blizzard put layering in Classic DELIBERATELY TO PUNISH PLAYERS and not to handle realm population because THEY KNEW exploits would happen and it would give them the chance to punish players by tempting players to exploit layering. Well played, Blizz, well played.
