Though I *kinda* want to see him unlocking the Ivalice Raids with people joining him. Red Chocobos were a blast and I want to see it again.

Exactly. And I agree about the Red Chocobos. Once again I can chant in chat (like at release), "No mercy for the damned! Thus thou hast no escape from the grasp of catastrophe! METEOR SWARM!"

The release of Endwalker is going to be a mess if SE doesn't do some serious upgrades.

Also, somehow people is surprised of toxicity? And in the passive-agressive Cactuar server? Well, actually it would be the same most likely everywhere.

I feel bad for him honestly the commnunity doing this while he's actually trying to learn and enjoy FFXIV is just horrible.

I would have loved if he joined on my Data Centre and wouldn't have minded not being able to play for 1 day if in the long run it means more people able to run Savage and Ultimate-level content.

Disappointed but not suprised is my feeling towards that.

If he can get into an instance fight, it's better than Stormblood release.

Raubahn EX and Pipin Savage were the true endgame!

Yeah, exactly why im saying it. Imagine if this were him at game release.

A Raubahn EX again would be untolerable.

How does one grief a player in a raid instance unless you're in the same party/Alliance? No one can send him tells, spam him with friend requests, etc. when he is in an instanced duty.

His name doesn't have to be visible at all. initials are an option. World can be hidden via Character Customization HUD options.

There are so many ways to avoid what's happening right now. He was actually warned by other content creators on how to avoid this mess. He chose not to listen.

He's not stupid, he knows how his community behaves. He encourages it because he makes money from it. He's got no one to blame but himself.

If the GMs take any action, it's going to be because of other normal players having their game experience disrupted by the presence of his stream. Asmongold is far more likely to get tossed into the gaol for deliberately provoking the situation. That might be a good thing. Let his character sit in the gaol a couple of days while his viewers get bored and drift away to do other things. Then he can get smart, stop streaming, make a new character and enjoy the game.

Won't be any more of a mess than Shadowbringers launch was. They'll have the zones expected to be congested instanced again. Even East Shroud had been instanced for Shadowbringers launch because they knew a lot of players would be unlocking GNB.
