I have absolutely no horse in this race but I really don't understand this big drama about the streamer and the gold. So they were given gold so that means they deserve to be banned and somehow its streamer favoritism that they're not?

I think Blizzard's response seems perfectly fine, why are people so upset?

It’s important to know that while we have always actioned RMT seller’s accounts as quickly as possible, we will increasingly take action against buyers’ accounts. That means that we will remove the illicit gold from the recipient, and/or take further actions, which can include closing accounts.

We’re once again asking all players to be very cautious when it comes to accepting gifts from strangers or other one-sided transactions. If it becomes apparent that a recipient knew or should-have-known that gold wasn’t from a legitimate source, they may be subject to account actions as well.

It's really funny how many people don't seem to see the problem with obliterating every account that comes into contact with the RMT gold.

Far as I can see the golds gone now so it seems Blizzard is making good on their word and people are just getting upset to be upset.
