First Streamer To Hit 60 In WoW Classic Kicked
Before the tail end of August, Daniel “Jokerd” Gobey was basically a nobody. Then he won the worldwide race to hit level 60 in WoW Classic and became an overnight Twitch sensation, with over 300,000 people tuning in to watch his big moment just three days after Classic’s launch. But the 22-year-old player from Malta, who has yet to respond to Kotaku’s request for comment, is also a troll who likes to pull stunts on stream. Recently, those impulses got him booted from top WoW esports organization and guild Method.To get more news about buy gold wow classic, you can visit lootwowgold official website.
Just two weeks ago, Method announced that Gobey had joined its ranks as part of the organization’s team of Twitch personalities. “Method always strives to support the best players, and Daniel Vella ‘Jokerd’ Gobey has certainly proven himself to be that time and time again,” the organization said in an enthusiastic announcement post. “He has not only claimed the throne of fastest to level 60 in WoW Classic, but was also the no.1 ranked Marksmanship Hunter on Warcraft Logs during the Legion expansion. In addition, to this day, he holds the record of fastest level 60 on any fresh private WoW Vanilla server launch.”
Despite some dispute over the validity of Gobey’s leveling methods
(he took advantage of Blizzard’s server “layering” techniques to shave
some time off his last couple levels), he clearly has the credentials.
But during a recent Molten Core raid, Gobey failed to demonstrate the
composure needed to roll with such a storied crew. As part of an
on-the-fly group made up of members of multiple guilds, including
prestigious raiding guild Power, of which Gobey is a member, and another
influential guild called Olympus, Gobey led the raid. When it came time
to divvy up loot after the group had melted down one of the raid’s
biggest bads, Gobey did not follow protocol and instead swiped one of
the more coveted items the boss can drop, the Staff of Dominance. In
effect, he stole it. This came after he’d been goaded by people in his
own voice chat who said he wouldn’t do it because it’d “kill his
reputation.”
Later on during the same stream, he defended his actions, saying
(perhaps sarcastically) that not only would he not get kicked out of
Power for yoinking the staff, but that he was going to “get promoted to
officer.” He claimed that one member of Power told others what he’d
done, and they were actually overjoyed.
You know what the other people said? ‘Nice one. Good job. Fuck yeah. Grats Jokerd.’ Because it’s an upgrade to Power. Power just became a stronger guild by me ninja-ing,” said Gobey, using a shortened version of the term “ninja looting,” or snatching loot without permission from other members of your group. “What do you want if your guild is Power? Do you want some random guy in [other raiding guild] Olympus to get Staff of Dominance? Fuck no. You want someone in Power to get more powerful. And guess what? That’s what happened. Why would you get kicked?”
But he did get kicked out of Method—arguably a much bigger loss. Yesterday, the organization suspended Gobey and removed him from its Twitch team over “his offensive and unsportsmanlike behavior.”
“On behalf of Method, I want to apologize to our fans, sponsors, and community,” wrote Method general manager Shanna “Darrie” Roberts in a statement on Twitter. “We feel let down by his behavior, just as many of you are.”
