The streamer NoWay4U wanted to prove to everyone at WoW Classic that he has what it takes. Now he is already cheating on day 1.
German fans of World of Warcraft are likely experiencing a true highlight, as the WoW-streaming event “Sauercrowd” attracts many viewers and brings numerous interesting stories from the streamers. In World of Warcraft Classic in the “Hardcore” mode, participants of the guild want to prove that they can handle the Molten Core – and they are currently leveling up for it.
However, one streamer was already noted for derogatory comments before the event. Now he has been caught cheating multiple times on the first day and shows no remorse.
Who is it about? The person in question is the streamer “NoWay4U”, usually just called “NoWay”, who is actually a professional in League of Legends. Just a few months ago he announced broadly that “[WoW Classic] is designed for the biggest losers in gaming history”. He will “demonstrate that in December”.
NoWay cheats repeatedly, shows no remorse
What has NoWay done? Right on the first day of the Sauercrowd event, NoWay broke the rules of the event multiple times and was confronted about it. The attraction and idea of the event is that you have to earn everything yourself and cannot intentionally seek help from players outside the guild.
The two accusations:
- NoWay allowed himself to be invited to a group by a viewer to switch layers (basically the “instance” of the world). This way, he was able to buy a mace from an NPC at a vendor that was sold out on the other layer.
- Additionally, he dared to fight the elite opponent Hogger – because he knew that there was a healer behind him who had been following him for the last few hours. He relied on that healing; otherwise, he would not have chosen the fight.
While everyone involved knows that viewers will occasionally appear, granting buffs or healing – this is basically unavoidable. However, to intentionally rely on this healing and storm into battles that are nearly impossible (for solo players) with this expectation is a serious violation of the rules.
How did NoWay react? When confronted with the accusations, NoWay responded with a lack of remorse. He did not want to destroy the mace, nor did he see any fault in himself. As a “mild punishment,” he was supposed to spend quite some time fishing – but he did not accept that either. Instead, he wanted to play a bit of League of Legends “to let off steam”.
Whether NoWay wanted to demonstrate how the “biggest losers” in gaming look by cheating multiple times on day 1 of an event is currently being discussed in the community. However, this was a nice, dramatic kickoff for the Sauercrowd event, even if that behavior might have harmed NoWay’s image.
