Preach is a good guy, I think they should have let him go.
Despite mmochamps hate for him and black and white thinking on the issue, I think the fact that he's made great content, and accepted his mistake should have been taken into account.
FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
Tbh a lot of content creators seemingly were not invited. Like Bellular for example. Was Asmon invited? Preach could have just shut his mouth and not even mention that originally he was invited, so this whole apology would not have been needed. He says in the video this was his first time being invited. So why did he come out and told this story? He didn't have to save anything. He will be still relevant as he will test the ptr extensively probably.
Also, I recall hearing something about people at blizzard having personal issues with content creators but also have "strong suggestion" on who to put on that list. So I'm guassing it is not just you are saint/you are evil issue here but burocracy as well.
Yeah I feel more sorry for the guy. He is, like he said himself, to blame for this. He let himself and the fans down. Now he gotta face the reality and consequenses.
I hope he does not get a perma ban, im sure that would sadden him even though he says he aint bothered playing wow right now.
I bet he is a bit broken down to knowing he wont get invited to events like these in the future to.
He made a mistake, a costly one. I feel for him.
To which I'll be clear and say that as a streamer he should be held to a higher standard than the average player and rightly received his month long ban. He still owes his fans an apology especially when he admits that it was his fault for not only what happened but also the fact that his actions have consequences and will ultimately push him away from Blizzard-related events.
He fucked up and even though it's clear that many folks don't like him he still has a big fan base to which he has to make amends with and the only way he can begin to do so is to acknowledge he fucked up and is now paying for it by being denied content for his bottom line as well as his fans. Hit him where it hurts and his brand is his business.
I do think that a bunch of what he said was really bizarre though like when he said to "save it for something important" as if there's a limited amount of time in which Blizzard can punish players and rambling on about Ion.
Honest question. What do you think he should have done/said to his fans after being banned?

A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.
Oh for sure. These events are most likely done by who-are-friends-with-who, who are "well liked" or got the right connections.
There are lot of qualified twitch/youtubers they could have invited, but they invited these because they are more than content creators, but also well liked within Blizzard. Liked by the right people.
It works alot like that in most ways in life.
Well, he can rebuild his reputation with them again but there's a cooldown period due to what he's done.
And true, the man is truly sorry and believes he could bring high words to the point where he's too scared to make them public to avoid them being discarded.
Sadly, he hyped himself up hard to get burnt when he reached for an easy handle.

He was not he only person banned. So cannot really called he was singled out.
It is Blizzard game and they can enforce the rules as they wish. Banning players is general not a good PR move, as some of the feedback proved. So they only do it when they feel it is completely necessary. In this case, they consider it necessary. You do not have like it but you do have to accept it because it is their game.
Because he was encouraging people to exploit the bug. And what is so important about this guy?
Interesting that you call the others youtubers sycophants yet seems to praise and support this Preach guy. I have seen Preach one video and really all he is was ranting about game.
I have seen hazelnuttygame video more than once and while some are blogs which I not watch, she does release some video that are actually informative about certain part of the games, such as how to unlock certain mounts etc.
Maybe this Preach does and I have not seen. I am not really interesting in seeing people video review of game, hazelnuttygame or this Preach guy, I prefer the informative video.
Couple of things:
1. Preach admitted that he was in the wrong on exploiting the game.
2. We're here to talk about the game not argue about internet personalities.
Closing.
