I really don't think the ARR grind will phase him as much as people think. Man has played WoW near 24hrs a day for most of his life. ARR grind is nothing compared to some of the totally brain dead grinds that game can throw at you, and it's, what? I think it can be knocked out in three days if you go hard at it?

It's definitely going to be Zack vs how terrible jobs feel before 60.

Sorry, but those are not necessarily proofs of corruption, though you're right that the lack of information that we have could be abused. But again, individual experiences aside, I have yet to see anything that will necessitate being silent in this game. Otherwise, not paying attention wouldn't have mattered because the attitude of the community would've changed. So it's not that the community is surviving despite a corrupt rule enforcement, but because, if there is corruption, it is at a minor scale, and that people, for the most part, can still trust them to enforce the rules.

What kind of things are you envisioning? I haven't been watching or even really aware of him for too long, maybe a month or so.
Would his followers join en masse and just start yelling at all of us what dweebs and weebs we are, how stupid this all is, etc?

Was going to say, how can anyone say this person is “great” on any level?? Then I see who OP is…

Of course its a different matter if he acts like Sodapoppin did in his reaction to the Endwalker trailer and dismisses everything without giving it a proper try.

His reaction to Endwalker was horrible. He hasn’t even tried the game yet and all he did was put it down and call us all Weebs…the fact that he’s going to try it, great. Maybe it will shut him up. But I’m guessing he’s just going to keep trashing it

sad that people still somehow manage to fall for a forum troll, does the second part of his sentence not give it the f away?
or do you hang around circles where this extreme exaggeration over a nothingburger is a daily occurrence and thus you think it's how a real person would react?

He tends to trash and hate on everything anyway, even WoW... especially WoW, im sure blizz isnt too fond of him.

Offering up constructive or even scathing criticism of something does not necessarily equal hatred, though.

You'll survive. Everyone needs to stop gatekeeping and rejoice at the influx of new players.

You will know. The heavens will roar and the casuals will scream as a massive balding head falls unto Eorzea. As the head hits the ground, it will unleash a massive crowd of toxic elitists and tryhards. No casual shall survive the eighth umbral calamity.

Anyone who actually knows who he is understands he is oldschool obsessive gaming skilled and tempered. I have every faith that he will at least get his character that "Big two handed sword" .. and to do that he's gotta get through ARR.

It's honestly amazing at just how badly Blizzard have managed WoW now that such a large portion of senior streamers are picking up other games...

And by love I mean laugh and roll our eyes at.

People are over reacting so much in here lol.

Zack/Asmon seems pretty cool when he's being himself, when in character he's pretty much a tool. His chat is basically pure cancer and just derps out "weeb" a lot.

I wonder how many FFXIV fans are parked on Asmon's twitch channel...holding their breath...waiting...

The fact that this post got as many likes as it did in the first place is pretty eye-rolling ngl.

There are a lot of a certain type of people who play FFXIV...a type that lives on virtue signaling.

I pray for all Aether players. He's already closing out servers for new char creation.

It's good to be a Crystal player.

He's actually a pretty nice guy. I'm not worried about him. I'm worried about the actually toxic people he has gotten from his persona that will follow him wherever he goes and kiss his arse. Considering he's on Aether I expect the "jokes" on my server to be worse then they usually are about Faerie. I hope that I'm 100% wrong btw, and that nothing happens and that we just get a lot of nice new players who enjoy the game.

Can't even get on my own server with everyone from other servers swarming to it. I wish they would give priority to people on that home world.
