First off, the stream was entertaining to listen to while hanging with my guildies killing stuff. My criticism of the streaming moderator is that you say little things here and there that annoy people. Making fun of Rogean's accent, correcting the viewer count when the number quoted was off by a couple all made me (and others) groan.. Good interviewers stay out of the way and let the guests do their thing while guiding the conversation and keeping it on track. Also the advertisement at the end was so cheesy..
Secondly, from the point of view by many watching, this whole thing seemed to boil down to the guy trying to get his account back and that's it. It kept coming back to him being pissed off that he lost his account because the same rules were applied to his situation that have hit others. It's well documented, people who buy accounts often get screwed over because the account they bought was probably leveled up using MQ and it gets detected and eventually banned. Anyone truly concerned about the server would have gone directly to Nilbog and if ignored or no satisfactory result was achieved, go to the players with all the info. The approach taken completely killed off any trust or belief that anyone would have had for him. Honestly, if I were the staff, right after the MQ use was identified and admitted to I would have yelled peace out, dropped the mic and walked off the stage. That was the awesome slam dunk, game over moment of the show.. That they stuck around only served this guys purposes further, giving him more air time, and more opportunities to get details out of the GM's on what they know / don't know or how things operate behind the scenes, all great intelligence for people trying to scam / hack the system.
This BS drama is being dragged out longer by dangling the carrot in front of everyone with this mysterious information he has, thus keeping the spotlight on him longer. It's like these companies that pull crap like "if we get 1 million twitter followers, we'll donate money to help fight cancer in kids". It makes them look like scumbags who could care less a bout the cause and more about themselves. That's all this guy is.
I have to say that the best part of all of these streams from involving the GM's is that it gives us all a peek behind the scenes of the server operations. It's far more informative and meaningful that posts to forums which degrade into asshattery. Having transparency without giving too much intel to those who would exploit the system is a great move. I'd love to see more originating from the staff (interviews etc) than from players.
