Blizzard breaks their own ToU

[Keanotix]

I work in a bookies (betting shop) and constantly have to put up with asshole customers getting away with damn near fraud in terms of breaking rules and terms and instead of banning them, the company would grovel and beg to keep them happy. This isnt all that different. Like suggested before, youre better going to the WoW forums or guild forums to get better support. I do agree that these asses need to remain banned, but just wishing for it will not work. Play them at their own game. Get picketing or boycotting with some groups, enough of you will maybe get Blizzard to reconsider.

It's not favouritism, it's logical.

They can easily ban a handful of people. They don't want to ban lots of people, even if they're crashing servers. It's more reasonable to simply unban the idiot and make the morons happy than it is to ban multitudes of people.

Swifty organized and implemented a DDOS attack. I think that warrants jumping straight to perm-ban.

Every single one of his followers should also be permbanned.

And potentially prosecuted.

Did people not say he helps many new players and helped bring in a lot of new players so if it wasn't his intention to crash the server then it's alright to unban him.

Plus they made the ToU, they can do whatever they want.

So it wasn't this intention to crash the server. Then he moved on did exactly the same thing and caused another server to crash. A smart person would now see the pattern and stop doing what caused 2 servers to crash. Then he moves on and crashes a third. He may claim he didn't intend to, but even the dumbest person on earth learns that if fire burns you don't touch it. So either he's lying about his own intentions or he's just stupid.

Also Blizzard can do whatever they do since they made the rules? Now let's pull this out of proportions and say if a man were to kill someone. Should he get off the hook because an organization that supports the government on a huge scale backs him up?

Why is everyone so quick to assume he did it on purpose? WoW is his thing and he makes a living playing it. It doesn't sound like his type of thing to purposely crash the server

Because he's a repeated offender, not one accidental slip.

OT: I think he should have been banned and they should have kept it that way. Still Razer and Blizzard are too important to each other, but Razer is the one that could move on with the least financial loss so I understand the decision.

The second crash wasn't done by him. It was done by his followers who believed he was unjustly banned. Do we have evidence he actually organized two server crashes?
