One big problem in Classic

[ryjkur]

How will Blizzard deal with this thing? It was not certainly vanilla issue at all because streaming wasn't that popular back then.

e: the problem is that stream sniping will put guilds to disadvantage, other guilds will see their location and everything, ruining the experience.

And guys like this will gank everyone else with their guilds and fanboys.

Well, the stream sniping in general. People will just watch other guilds location and it kinda ruins the whole PvP

I stopped the video when he said he enjoys griefing. Literally fuck this guy. This is part of the long list of reasons Classic will suck.

Dont stream. The end. Avoid streamers servers, I Will.

[Mendzia]

I love to watch streamers but honestly i do not really care how ppl will affect them. I will avoid their servers. Me and my friends plan to play on PvE server too.

Add a delay to your stream if it bothers you that much.

[Cmx]

nobody cares, if you stream this is natural behaving

Does it really matter? I was able to /who them back in the day and see the zone they are all in. It becomes painfully obvious where they are going very quickly. My biggest worry with classic is why are people so triggered by streamers. Play with and around them all you want or don't. It isn't that difficult. Sure you cannot avoid them all but only like 5 will really have major impact and I wouldn't doubt if a few of them are on the same servers.

Play on a PvE server then

ban streamers, problem solved.

while i say that tongue in cheek it is the streamers who are creating this problem by broadcasting their location for any jackhole to see, so its the price they have to pay.

[Anastacy]

It’s not a problem Blizzard is obligated to deal with.

Either:

1. Don’t allow (famous) streamers into your guild.
2. Don’t allow streamers to stream leading up to events that can be ganked/stolen (world bosses, mostly).
3. Don’t play on PvP servers (and add 1 or 2).
4. Perhaps more solutions I haven’t thought of.

If streaming ends up negatively impacting a guild, it is the guilds problem to solve.

This seems like a streamer thing. Not really going to affect my game-play. So it really isn't a BIG problem more a non issue.

Good method, don't go on servers where there is streamers. Streamers themselves are part of the main issue in the end. We can't really do anything with that as streaming has become so basic that even my damn 12 year old nephew has a stream.

All I can say is, don't huddle up on the same servers as streamers.

To be honest, it is fun to disrupt streamers and/or their 'teams'.

They wont deal. Your choice that you show yourself something like this. Not their deal. You expose yourself on purpose.

Reminds me of those people in DOTA that have their twitch link in their usersname.

In a game like dota that's dumb, like really dumb.

To be honest, if you are streaming, you are inviting yourself to have a wanted and unwanted following, life. You paint your own target.

As to your Dota mention, I have a similar story but StarCraft. The guy I was playing against had his stream on at the same time.. Was a facepalm moment.
