Ever since the outrage stirred up by a streamer using certain privileges to report other players for Stream Sniping directly, I have been concerned about this even though I do not actively watch streams outside of the Weekly Developer Streams or giveaways.
A few weeks ago my crew ran into Summit. We had been on the server for well over an hour and had finished turning in a good haul when a sloop rolled upon us. During the altercation, one of my crew recognized the name and started squealing like a little school girl and expressing his love over voice chat in the game. Neither the wife nor I knew what his Gamertag was (we figured it would be Summit, but guess not) or what his pirate even looked like, so my wife asked him on the ferry while they were both there but he didn't respond. We sunk his ship, and it seemed he quit the server and that was that.
I checked out his channel the next day to see if it was truly him, and after some digging, I found our encounter! He was on the server for less than 10 minutes before he came upon us, but his channel chat was screaming "Stream Snipers!" towards us and saying we were cheating. Seriously? He just got to the server and found us, how could anyone possibly Stream Snipe like that, especially with Streamer Mode, enabled to mask names? I am not sure if Summit believed this to be the case, and nothing came our way from it, but it is still concerning how easily people jump on that bandwagon...
