Just days after Epic publicly discussed bans for team killing, AlexRamiGaming was banned on his main account and the side account that he team killed with. He was live streaming to over 3000 viewers on his Twitch channel when he blatantly broke the rules of the game. It didn't take Epic long to respond.

Banning his main account was banning an account that Alex had invested some money into. He is upset at this loss of this investment. Alex felt as though he was treated differently because he was a big streamer. His thoughts are that Epic should have simply banned his troll account and been on about their business. In my opinion though I think he is just upset that he got caught and banned, but I don't think he necessarily deserves a perma-ban, What do you think?

I rather think that the banning of the problem player when possible does much more good to rid the community of rule breakers and cheaters. Alex is a big streamer and should know that Epic could easily identify both accounts belonging to him. Why would you only ban the side account as Epic?

TL/DR:

My question is if your looking at video proof, such as a stream, of a player breaking rules that have recently been confirmed to be ban worthy. As Epic would you ban the obvious player who was breaking the rules, or would you settle with banning what you know to be the side account used to break the rules, while holding onto the fact that he can simply log back into his main account?

To clarify:

I just want to say I am affiliated with no one but myself, I am unbiased to the situation, and I had not known who AlexRamiGamimg was before I heard about this so I’m not some hater entertained by the misfortunes of others.

I am embedding my live game dev stream here. If I don't notice you stop in greet me in chat. I'm quiet but I'll respond to you guys if you engage me in the chat. I am fairly quiet person, but would love to interact with you guys.

  Well, it seems to be going slowly at times, sometimes at the speed of a crawl while I half-ass attempt to code and learn to code all at the same time. I can’t say there is anything all that informative of entertaining about my dev streams, but at the end of the day, progress has been made. That’s what counts isn’t it?

  It took me a while to figure it out, but I’ve learned that either Unity doesn’t serialize colors that well, or I was just plain doing it wrong. I saved the queue of actions to the character’s data, so that any actions in the queue are saved with the character at save time. I couldn’t get it to work while that action data contained a color.

 I’m now at the point I can create a new character, it will go through the prologue actions, and then continue to kill monsters and harvest elements until you stop it. I’m still messing with the amount of xp needed per level, trying to figure out a steady level up.  I done a little more work on the load game screen as well, making it so you can load a character by double clicking on the character button.

  I think the next thing I’m going to work on is the plot panel.

Now that I've got my GUI done I’m thinking of what to implement next. I mean Progress Quest is a pretty simple game, so I need to just focus on one component at a time. I’ll probably setup the action bar next, and with it actions. I am making this a loose remake, and will probably take my own approach to things like monster generation and item generation.

I’ve also been thinking about what I’m going to do next. I know it will be a little while before I’m finished with my game, but I also see the end in sight. I like the idea of working with someone on my next project and have even considered seeing if I could hire someone to work with.

I’ve finished my UI, with multiple menu panels, saving and loading a character, and random name gen and stat roller for character generation panel.

It started a few months ago, my desire to get back into development. I’m a hobbyist, fresh and inexperienced when it comes to game dev. I have no portfolio, no past projects, and no real interaction with other developers or designers.
