@Basaraski This was handled so well and the smartest way possible. Kudos to you for being smart and protecting yourself and your fiancé from a potentially very dangerous situation. Packers suck -- sincerely, a sour Vikings fan. :)
What it's like going to Philly just trying to root for your team...
Unprovoked, uncalled for. Packers twitter, help me out and find this guy.... this is not okay
I hate that my fiancé had this happen simply cheering for her team

It seems as though Piratesoftware will be leveraging his past relationship with Blizzard to send his reports directly to past Blizzard colleagues.
Pirate went on to say that Blizzard are aware of the situation and that everything he sends will be read.
It's worth noting that Blizzard are notorious for not acting on individual normal player reports so will be interesting to see if Pirates words follow through.
@SavixIrL@PirateSoftware L take savix. I used to respect you and now you just make a bunch of assumptions. Pirate clearly panicked, he never died on hc before so that's normal. A lot of people die mousing over the abilities that can help and just freeze. Calls were all over the place so he ran
To those trying to character assassinate me online for a bad pull in Diremaul WoW Hardcore. This is Hardcore WoW and a lot is on the line when you step foot into a dungeon. Here is a light breakdown of the last 24 hours.
Our party went the wrong way and overpulled multiple packs with a boss. The shotcaller made the call to run then went back on that call. During the run out another pack was pulled as we had opted to skip it previously which is never a good thing. Communication was completely broken throughout this and it was our second time failing the dungeon. Everyone played poorly and two people ultimately lost their characters for it.
Each person in this group made mistakes including myself. I have never once said I was perfect in my play nor that I was a god gamer. I'm just an ex-Blizzard employee that has played mage for a long time.
To pin that on a single person is absurd at best and if you're calling for death and cancellation over it you're too invested in this content in a very unhealthy way. If you're a creator engaging in this kind of behavior then eventually your content wave will end but the relationships you've sullied will be permanent. Hope it was worth it for you.
To those trying to defend me. Don't worry about it. This too shall pass. Do not attack anyone else on my behalf. I've always hated that kind of behavior. I have no intention of stopping making things or not doing stuff as I already have been.
Those who were banned will stay so. I've never liked that kind of knee-jerk reaction behavior in our community before and I will not be changing that now.
For those that don't understand why they will stay banned. We had a ten hour long hate-raid over it live on Twitch. We had to ban nearly 4,000 accounts across all platforms and our moderators received death threats regularly throughout it all. People called for me to be killed both in-game and out of game. They tried to get me banned from Twitch, the guild, and WoW. They tried to make disparaging comments about our ferret rescue or that we somehow hurt animals. They tried to spread rumors saying I was convicted of felonies and many other things.
The internet hate machine will not defeat me or the community that supports me. See you in WoW Hardcore tomorrow.
@QuriousQuandale@lavern_spicer Are there any real accounts making these threats? Or just the bots? Like are there any of these being made by actual people? You know; with regular names like Jim or Ryan?
