Linking to Rift's website did it. And in my opinion was in poor taste. Defeats the point you were trying to make irrelevant and makes you seem fanboyish.
You get no sympathy from me, I think you deserved it.
WoW fan?
I don't think he was looking for sympathy.... nor do I really think he cares about getting banned. I think the point was to show how he went out with a bang... and for that I give him credit!
if he didnt care about getting banned, why would he bother to post that on mmorpg.com forums? to scare wow players with the excuse that they can get banned by talking about rift on their forums. therefore, they need to stop playing wow to avoid a ban?, or maybe to warn players from other games not to touch wow cos u can get banned for talking about rift there...... he would have posted this original post on WoW forums and not here... or maybe just nowhere... it clearly shows he cared about the ban he got
He posted here because he thought it would make Blizzard look bad ("look at this low blow Blizzard threw at me!"), similar to his post on the WoW forums. He's currently pro-Rift/anti-WoW, and it's all an effort to get others to join his cause. There's not much conversion to be done here, however, as these forums are dominated by anti-WoW MMO players
His story has nothing to do with resentment at getting banned or instilling fear in other players who may be inclined to talk about Rift. It has everything to do with painting Blizzard as the bad guy and Trion as the good guy. Except numerous objective viewpoints on this thread have already admitted that Bizzard wasn't at fault at all, and both companies remain good guys as far as this story goes.
i got your point hehe tho the sentence in red again showed he cared about being banned

If by "care" you mean he is upset that he cannot currently use their forums or angry that Blizzard reprimanded him, then I'd still disagree. His getting banned isn't the reason he wants Blizzard to be portrayed as the bad guy. He was on Rift's side and against Blizzard's before the ban was issued. If anything, he seemed pleased that he got banned because it provided him, in his mind, with another piece of evidence against those bad people at Blizzard. Which, again, is one of his reasons for sharing it here.

So have some of clowns convinced yourself that if you post the same kind of thread in the Rift forums about WoW you wouldn't get banned?
Rich...

It is one thing to mention another game on the forums.
It is another to boast about how great it is, with a link to it.
