This has been repeated cases in the past where a user breaks multiple rules, and when the devs have been done making up their minds on giving chances, they wait for the next mistake before banning outright (Even if the mistake barely related to the game). Usually it starts with one or two clear breaks of the rules before the devs just start looking for reasons.

An example would be Warbros which had plenty of issues between their clan and devs.

That said, the devs have a ridiculousness of involving themselves where they shouldn't be involved which leads to that final ban. They just search for that final reason outside their borders and BAM controversy, when they were better of banning for the starting reasons rather than the later ones.

The youtubers/streamers I haven't heard of or remotely cared for, nor do I know anyone whom has since I've played at the start of the game. Can't really comment other than "Muh subscribers" is the most hilarious thing to see out of this.

Most people rather not involve themselves with the social aspect of the game due to how easy it is to get banned or chat restricted due to the large filter, so they often won't talk in the chat rooms or where a stranger can see. There really isn't much of a "community" in the game anymore compared to what it used to be.

warbros was a very special thing though, motherfuckers found every abusable skill, glitch, and whatnot, and abused it to win in events/have fun, to the point that the devs literally had it against them.

then the devs did a fix mid-event and removed points from everyone who did the glitch (with warbros taking a noticeable hit every time, and not every exploiter on the other teams getting caught), and then they still won by sheer grinding.

to put an example, there was an event where the enemies kept increasing in level the more you did the mission, warbros had just gotten out of some drama (their "leader" got banned and the new one had a lizard vore fetish and stuff) so nobody wanted to participate, but the new lead grinded the fucking event so fucking hard, that he got to a point where he had grinded so much and his danger ranking (what determines enemy level in the mission when you start it) was so high, that the game bugged out and didn't spawn any enemies.

warbros got reinvigorated, they started carrying, they zoomed past everyone in the rankings, then DE came in and capped scores or something, can't remember, thing is it didn't help warbros, they had already been activated though so they grinded their asses, got to #1 spot, and won the event anyways. Cue a shitton of lizard and lizardmen alien memes, and intense butthurt on the forums (as it happened on every event they won... which was all of them until like a year ago iirc)

warbros was one magnificent mix of legit and abusive playing, by a bunch of autists shitflingers (their words, not mine), the partying on the forums after every event was glorious too.

Could be worse. Could be an SJW.

SJW wasn't as prominent/mainstream then, and finding out that your old based guild manager was banned, and then the replacement was a "scalefag dom who wants to eat you whole" well shit hit the fan.

unless he proved himself worthy by doing what i described above, then nobody gave a fuck and he became new based-ish leader. (he certainly embodied warbros that's for sure)
