That madseason at the start, I miss him.. I've watched his pandora's box like 3 times at this point and I thought it was the last I'd ever see of him and his soothing voice.
I remember when this happened, the guy used it on hard mode yogg sarron and got the world first kill because of the shirt. It was almost instantly known about because of all the top guilds racing to do it at the time got beat out by some weenie that couldn't help himself, and to be completely honest, neither would have I.
TBF, the weenie may have gotten himself perma banned, but he basically made WoW history with his stupidity. That's worth more than whatever he'd have gained had nobody ever known what happened.
@@seja098 It literally says "Cheater" in the tooltip text. It's also common sense that if you obtain something that you shouldn't have that you report it rather than abusing it. Abusing something that was unintended is called "exploiting". And why the fuck would a GM get banned for typing the wrong item ID when restoring a player's account? Would you lose your job over a very basic mistake?
@@fluffybacon Hahaha I am actually laughing at your response.. if you think that it is a basic mistake, then you definitely have drank too much water today.... Regardless of the green text, if your a GM employed to do correct work, and then proceed to give someone a "GM only item" by mistake, then that is the GM's fault, not the acquirer. This logical way of thinking about this, is everywhere in our daily life. So I have no clue what exactly, you spend your time on in, real life. But it certainty isn't improvement or regulations, or rules that should be followed by everyone. Also, the bias for GM's cause their GM's is funny. Their humans, and they can make mistakes. People who play the game, can make mistakes. But this case is too obvious and is one of the reasons why GM's doesn't exist anymore. For this exact reasoning. The player that is involved in the wrong doing of the GM, isn't banned by the way. :). So don't pre-judge to harshly.
@@seja098 Willfully exploiting somebody else's mistake isn't a mistake, that's a conscious decision; it's exploiting and it's against the rules. Everybody with half a brain cell knew they'd get banned if they abused that item. They didn't even abuse it lightly for a bit of fun, they jumped straight into newly released content whilst people were still racing for world firsts. Stop writing utter fucking garbage and rethink your life.
Lol I would have never imagined these top wow content creators coming together to be in a video of yours when I first started watching, you’ve come a long way and you deserve more attention!
The entire guild getting banned is somewhat true, all players got a 72 hour suspension until the investigation concluded if my memory serves me correctly.
Except the players that were actually involved in the raid. Their accounts weren’t exactly banned, but were reverted to a much lower level. Funny thing is, the new lower levels of the guild took over as leader of the guild, lol.
@@Unchainedful oh yeah most definitely, I didn’t mention that no offense because I figured it would be automatically inferred given they cheated with a GM item.
The story of Martin Fury really was a great showing of how Blizzard even back then would not own up to even tiny mistakes It all started because a guy named Leroyspeltz got hacked, lost pretty much his entire inventory, and in the process of trying to restore his account (which took around 5 months) he was accidentally given this dev item along with a host of completely random shit, his level 13 warlock received a small amount of gear along with Martin Fury. Since the guy didn't get a full restore of everything he had, he thought it was actually an intentional move by a GM presumedly to help get him back up to where he was, because how the hell would a GM make this level of a mistake? The item also had a limited charge count which might've added to this belief, everybody essentially thought it was a joke by a GM. I imagine a pretty high level of frustration was there as well, it had taken them 5 months to get to his hacked account and when they did they just dumped a bunch of random gear and items of all levels on the guy and called it done. Eventually the guy shared it with a friend of his, Karatechop who I believe had also been hacked at one point and they used it to go clear some raids with a few guild members, Ulduar, Eye of Eternity, and Obsidian Sanctum, around 14 times. This earned them some pretty significant achievements including some world firsts a lot of people didn't really know existed, unbeknownst to them they actually cleared several of the most difficult achievements for those raids using it. Eventually Blizzard found out and temporarily banned THE ENTIRE GUILD for 24 hours, many of the guild members didn't even know what was happening as this was a pretty large guild. Blizzard then banned Karatechop permanently without any real communication, this was his first infraction, they claimed to send him an email explaining why but Karatechop says he never received this, he also tried to open a ticket but also never received a response. For about a month people just assumed Karatechop was a hacker that had somehow obtained the item via nefarious means and Blizzard to my knowledge never actually acknowledged their own mistake. Blizzard more or less tried to hoist the entire responsibility onto Karatechop who wasn't even the original owner of the item. If I remember right Karatechop also stated he wasn't actually the one who had the item by the time they started using it, he was however, the leader of the guild and Blizzard apparently held him responsible for his guilds actions.
IIRC, Karatechop is the one using the item. By that time there was logs about a players max damage in a single hit, and for Karatechop that damage is exactly the same with Flame Leviathan's HP.
Blizzard has only ever cared about optics. In the case of Martin Fury; it was easier for them to call an entire guild cheaters than it was to admit that a GM fucked up. However, even today you can get perma-banned just for being inconvenient because they have it built-in to their "support" system... If you get reported enough then you get an automatic punishment, even if the reports are complete lies and you haven't actually done anything wrong. But on top of that, even if you appeal that punishment and get it overturned; they don't actually remove it from your account's record. It'd be like still having a criminal record even after you were proven innocent. What that means for your account is that if you ever get a punishment, even if you get it removed, the next one you get will be worse... You'll be treated like a repeat offender even if you've never done anything wrong. And it doesn't stop at once or twice; it keeps going until you're on your last strike and then they'll automatically permaban you *for literally nothing,* and you _can't appeal a permanent ban._ I'm speaking from first hand experience, by the way. They did this to me back in 2017.
@@90Rush Karatechop did use it at some points yes, but it never had anything that prevented him from trading it, you could use it and then trade it. He claimed to have used it a couple of times but the last few it supposedly wasn't in his possession but in the possession of an unnamed guildmate.
I mean let's be real, if you're devoid enough of intelligence to use an item like this to kill actual current content raid bosses, and even get some world firsts/kill bosses that no one else is able to, then you deserve a permanent IP ban. There isn't a single person in the universe who would use this item in current content raids and expect to get away with it, who is also able to peel a banana by themselves.
Ok hear me out on this one. I just read the background to this story and its extremely interesting. I remember this vividly, back when I was playing during this time period 2008/2009 there was this MASSIVE wave of accounts being hacked. Like it happened all at once including to me. It was very odd to me, there was 0 reason I should have been hacked along with like 70% of the guild. I was in college at the time studying cyber security, and I went above and beyond the very basic safe practices to secure my account...like i went to ridiculous lengths, so when this massive wave of stolen accounts was taking place something didn't seem right and this story brings me back. How does a GM accidentally send an item like this? Its interesting that the security tokens came out around the same time all of these accounts were "hacked" and they cost 6 fucking dollars. I remember telling my brother blizzard was probably behind these account hacks to sell and incorporate these new security tokens. After reading this story, along with blizzard selling its soul around the same time as well, Im even more convinced there was fuckery involved
I don't think that's what happened, that's too hard on the conspiracy theory side. What might have had happened was that their internal database got compromised, covered it up and released the authenticator to avoid further incidents.
I can't believe how big of deal this was at the time. It should have gone like this: They one shot some bosses, Blizzard finds out, they revert the gear and achievements, everyone has a laugh at how silly video games are sometimes. Instead it a big moral debate. "The item said cheater. They should have contacted Blizzard right away. What he did was wrong. He knew it was wrong." Like he should feel guilt and shame for killing fictional monsters incorrectly in a computer game for teenagers. This is a game where people corpse camp real players and compete to see who can be the most horrible in trade chat, but the real players suffering are the ones who thought someone got an achievement earlier than they were supposed to. It was a GM's mistake and Blizzard's reaction was to ban a whole guild, even people who didn't know about the item.
Probably a true gamer GM or small group having a chuckle seeing what would happen in a video game, until a holier than thou executive heard about it. I doubt the players were the only ones punished for this.
They were totally in the wrong. It would be a bit different if it had 0 implications, but raid guilds getting a world first is a nice badge of honor. Cheating it cheats those players out of that satisfaction. Is it arbitrary bs? Perhaps, but so is literally anything involved in 99.9999% of people's lives.
I was actively raiding Ulduar back when this incident happened during Wrath. I remember some of us in my guild, at the time, pulling up Karatechop's armory page and refreshing it every 30 minutes or so to see all the new pieces of gear he had equipped as the result of killing the bosses so fast. At that time, we didn't know how he obtained Martin Fury, but you could clearly see him wearing it on his armory page. About 18 hours later, the entire raid team was permanently banned from the game lol
I remember when this was going on too but I remember everyone else only getting temp. Karatechop was the only one that got perma banned could be wrong but I don't think so.
@@vidzrswow From what I remember, everyone that participated in the raid was originally permanently banned. Then the raid team members made a post on the official WoW forums about what happened and Blizzard looked into it further. After that, most of the raid team had their permabans reduced to something like 1 or 2 weeks suspensions. But yea, Karatechop kept his perma.
@@MarcRitzMD There are screenshots of Karatechop's WoW Armory page from back when this happened if you look hard enough. The people that were doing the exploit obviously wouldn't be sharing screenshots publicly.
Out of context but just wanted to say thank you for all the awesome videos you make, you really portray what us rogues are like in real life. WOTLUKUH HYPE
First rule of fight club is to not tell anyone about the fight club. This should count to those examples aswell. Imagine he wouldn't told anyone back then.
My account was hacked in early TBC, when I got my items back they gave me full of S2 Gladiator gear instead of S1, this was a week prior to the second season starting.
you missed the part at the end where the GM bans everyone, but then disconnects, stretches a bit in his chair, and goes to the cosby suite to harass some employees. Ah, banning innocents and harassing, typical blizzard day.
imagine if blizzard was playing 4D chess and giving that shirt wasn't an accident, It was intentional. The goal was to create something that people would talk about a decade later to advertise the re-release of the game for free when fan made content about the shirt gets made.
I think the final boss is able to alert every GM's attention in thier currently database systems somewhere. Likely The first realm achievements or they havent kill any single of the final boss each on thier servers's reach alert at blizzard peoples.
Blizzard since the game started has a "war room"(imagine the main NASA room you'll see in movies-almost identical) in which a large team of people watch big screens at the front of the room that correspond with current player activity as well as in-game things happening. When raids dropped, they too will monitor what's happening a lot of the time but they don't need to either because they are absolutely notified upon completions of a raid even if it's not world firsts. Guilds would get banned for cheating on raids where the guild had completed it a lot already but because of the raid ID and corresponding boss ID's it's easy for them to see potential cheaters and just review what has happened
Epic video! You've made that reconstitution so perfectly. That's amazing to see how insane was that case ! Think karatechop must has felt like a living god
I can attest to hackers being oddly cruel. They know you'll get your things back, so they park you in guaranteed death spots. My hacker left me falling midair, thing is, it was a paladin. No death, only bubble.
Please bro as a wow player from early 2010 , 09 . Dude never stop making these videos you will blow up ! I’m having just as much fun as watching these vids as playing wow back in the day!
Oh man this was epic!!! By far the best video yet!! Great to have some great wow content creators together to tell this story the way it was always meant to be told! Better then Leroy!
Wow I hadn't watched you for ages then this video popped up and i was like "wait I don't remember this being a madseason spoof channel?". Cool to see other creators comes play a part :O
My Troll rogue for classic was named Karatechop leveled him as sub after watching your sub/ambush leveling guide. Stayed that spec until 52 my favorite way to play rogue.
Yes a player really did get this item back in the day. And they cleared all of ulduar with it. The whole guild actually got banned and they changed the item to kill yourself so it never happened again
yeah, they actually went into impressive detail in this video, matching the gear karatechop (the player that got banned) was wearing at the time of his ban. It was actually more severe than what this video showed, they essentially went to every raid and got instant world/realm first on a ton of things. obviously, this came out of nowhere, especially because it wasn't a hardcore raiding guild. the player using martin fury got perma banned and a ton of gear that the players got was removed and I think a few temporary bans were handed out as well.

Good old Vek' nilash, i still remember that draenei mage blayzer being a big memer on the server in wrath
If I got that, I would be like, "I am just gonna put this away for a rainy day when someone decides to piss me off". 😅😆😂🤣
that Skype call at the end... HAAHHAHAAHHAHA epic ending!!
I laughed my ass out on that video it such thing actually happened out there! :D
On Grobbulus, we just spammed WOTLK HYPE for about three hours in trade chat. Been crazy.
martin fury hype martin fury hype
Omg Snackybox's lines are top tier what a grand video
Epic video! You've made that reconstitution so perfectly. That's amazing to see how insane was that case ! Think karatechop must has felt like a living god
Man, world of warcraft used to have so many epic stories like this come out
Totally agreed! They can write 1 thousand books.. :D
This is a fucking masterpiece
Amazing - Love your channel
I can attest to hackers being oddly cruel. They know you'll get your things back, so they park you in guaranteed death spots. My hacker left me falling midair, thing is, it was a paladin. No death, only bubble.
Please bro as a wow player from early 2010 , 09 . Dude never stop making these videos you will blow up ! I’m having just as much fun as watching these vids as playing wow back in the day!
That was nice! More of this plx! 🙆🏽♀️👌🏾
Love it! Amazing video.
The Skype notification unlocked so many memories. I instinctively went to go check it.
Oh man this was epic!!! By far the best video yet!! Great to have some great wow content creators together to tell this story the way it was always meant to be told! Better then Leroy!
this was great. shoutout azamous
I raided with TMF guild in 2012 when I was in highschool once or twice
Such a great story. I was only a few months into wow around the time this happened. Glad to see you cover it!!!
Nicee
Hahaha this is a great idea for a video. That incident will always be remembered
Wow I hadn't watched you for ages then this video popped up and i was like "wait I don't remember this being a madseason spoof channel?". Cool to see other creators comes play a part :O
0:39 that skype notification noise really took me back.
This lineup was better than any festival
this gives me 2008 vibes love it
MADSEASON!! WE MISS YOU!!
I didn't know Guzu was in this until I heard his voice. What a pleasant surprise :D
Still cant believe they banned every single person in the guild that was online at the time. Talk about a knee jerk reaction lol
Nowadays they won't even ban people who sent inappropriate messages to minors in their game.
They won't ban boosters for using scripts in arena/RBG's either.
Not credible for 2009. You forgot about the MAX 30 fps in Ulduar. :D
you are 1 upping yourself every video, great stuff man! I really enjoyed this, imagine this happening a second time, would be so good
LOL love how Guzu and Esfand is in this 🤣
Holydin being Esfand is hilarious.
"just dont tell anybody and you will be fine"
as he is telling somebody
I don’t know why but that ‘the fuck’ at 1:00 always makes me laugh so fucking much xD
I was there! Back then on US Vek'nilash server lol a whole raid got temp banned and user got perm
i love so much your movies !!!
Thanks a lot
whoever does that leeroy speltz voice its so funny hes so calm but so excited lol
Skype>discord how nostalgic
MADSEASON TAKEOVER !
god i loved the lil cameos from all my favourite people
THAT'S 2009 FOR YOU BOIS! That "User disconnected from your chane- User joined your channel!" sent me back instantly xD
Wotlk hype wotlk hype
My Troll rogue for classic was named Karatechop leveled him as sub after watching your sub/ambush leveling guide. Stayed that spec until 52 my favorite way to play rogue.
MADSEASON!!!????!!!?? BROTHER PLEASE DO MOREEEEEE
did this actually happen back in 2009? 😂😂
Yes a player really did get this item back in the day. And they cleared all of ulduar with it. The whole guild actually got banned and they changed the item to kill yourself so it never happened again
yeah, they actually went into impressive detail in this video, matching the gear karatechop (the player that got banned) was wearing at the time of his ban. It was actually more severe than what this video showed, they essentially went to every raid and got instant world/realm first on a ton of things. obviously, this came out of nowhere, especially because it wasn't a hardcore raiding guild. the player using martin fury got perma banned and a ton of gear that the players got was removed and I think a few temporary bans were handed out as well.
YEEEEP!
@@tree4104 he realy thought no one would notice it lol
Yes, this happened.
Next do "its 2004 and you recieve talisman of the blinding shard"
So theres this guy who lives on a river in the plaguelands that is part of the quest to get ashbringer
wow the skype notification at 2:32 really brought me back.
brooooooooooo these cameos are awesome!
Best WoW channel right now
fun thing westfall is the default graveyard back in the day if you died in a weird way you be drop at westfall
Just realized Guzu voiced the nightelf rogue. And Esfand was in there. Epic video hahaha
The Skype box at the end sent a wave of nostalgic joy through me
