Anyone can create a new character.

It’s really sad how our community is working as hard as they can to grief and harass him. I wish they would just let him play the game. He couldn’t even kill an monster on his own. He was lucky to tag anything.

I'm seeing more support for Asmon than hate in this thread.

And the hate that exists is for the morons harassing him.

Orbiters means fans. This same thing happens in WoW -- watch any of his streams and you will see people follow him around and try to give him things all the time.

EDIT: "Wow Im killing things so fast" -- meanwhile people are helping him kill the mobs. He isnt even seeing the combat.

Those are his fans. They always do this to him, it's nothing new. Most of them will get bored after he doesn't acknowledge them and they'll go do something else. His viewership has already dropped 30k~ viewers.

50k. It hit 210,000 at a point.

That, and from what I can see, a lot of players have the car mount, and that means they would have had to been playing the game for awhile, or had played it years prior.

Most of the mounts seen are endgame mounts.

Yes! It's his WoW fans that have secretly been doing FFXIV endgame content that are currently trolling him! It all makes sense now!

Great community btw

Holy crap, the people who are sniping and following him everywhere and ruining his combat experience is terrible. This guy can't even enjoy the story without constant interruption. People who just follow him and make his experience terrible should be considered griefing/harassment and stuff like this is liable to get them banned tbh. It's fine to follow your favorite streamer, but just don't ruin the whole experience. :/

Thankfully most of the combat later on is instanced zones. At least he can still enjoy the full experience that way.

Youve never watched an Asmon stream before have you?

Yeah, I don't even have a lot of these mounts. Fans are following him around sure, but there are probably plenty of griefers in there too.

I wouldn’t mind a gm going rogue and “assisting” the stream.

Could you say the whole server of cactaur is getting griefed right from so many players from different servers following him around and making it nearly unplayable? I'm afraid to log out or even look at other marketboards.

He was warned not to stream if he honestly wanted to enjoy the game.

Not gonna lie, following him around with so many mounts he can't see around himself, and sniping quest mobs, is probably one of the more toxic things I've seen from the FFXIV community.

I've watched a lot of the streams where he talks about FFXIV. He has fans in the FFXIV community.

I don't watch anyone's stream because I don't have that kind of time. I do watch his highlights. Recently he visited a dead classic WoW server and the server didn't explode. While I am sure there are some of his fans following around, the endgame and event mounts suggest there are other people around trying to disrupt his gameplay too. I hope a GM bans the latter.

Thats because this is a common occurrence with his fans. Literally a video called "The Asmongold Experience" exists.

And yet I see numerous heavensward, stormblood, and shadowbringers extreme and savage mounts.

See the mental gymnastics people will make to delude themselves that this community isn't toxic at all?

Do people think like none of his fans were playing FF14 and the main reason he is playing it now is because those fans kept requesting him to?

Here's my question. Doesn't this same thing happen when Yoshi-P comes on with people swarming his location? A celebrity will be a celebrity.

The good thing is, the FF14 devs can see what problems Asmongold has. They could fix them.

I wonder, at what point does he decide to make a second person on a different server (or even datacenter!) to play solo to get an actual feel of the game without being followed.

I am not sure the tools are really in place. But SE couldn't protect its own community streamers when the pvp community decided to grief them on aether.

I'm suspecting he either already has, or is planning to when the stream ends.

I’m sorry, but that’s just funny.

They're eager to try to paint the community as bad as WoW's. In reality, the most of the people floundering over Asmon right now are his fans that have been playing XIV for a while and have been asking him to play it for years, and are finally able to see their favorite streamer play it. Annoying? Yes. But I'm not going to pretend most of the people on him are griefing him and paint it as 'the community'.

Also, now that he is officially a FFXIV player GMs should start banning people that are saying bad things about him. That falls under the harrasment, defamation and callout section of the ToS.

Of course, it’s always someone else. Not the people playing this game for years; they couldn’t possibly be the community.

I dunno man, I'm part of the community and I'm not even in game at the moment. I'm cleaning my living space and neatening up the cabling for my pc.

But definitely the entire community at fault here.

Personally, I wish they'd leave him alone and let him play. This is annoying to anyone.

But if the community is toxic, then you're toxic, you toxic player, you've been playing this game for years after all!

You should go ahead and let those people know that they are the epitome of the community as a whole, they might not know it.

It's definitely not the first time they've dealt with servers going full fast. *flashbacks to housing releases on Balmung...And, you know...Stormblood Launch*

nah guys, yes, this initial logon is chaotic and crazy but 90% of the people dont have the patience to follow him around for the next 20 hours "griefing" him, the novelty will wear off by the time hes level 15 and everything will be just fine. Hes not stressed, he looks like hes having fun, it's just this inital hype and he understands that which is why hes not bothered
