Bit scary for WoW though if many top content creators are being told to go play another game lol.

Why? People can play other games and be fine. For instance, a lot of LoL streamers went to play Dying Light 2 and that doesnt necessarily mean that Lol is dying. I think you have people pressuring him and clamoring him for him to play it as streamer validation of their pasttime.

Nothing more, nothing less. Its why no one really cares if Asmongold decides to stream AoC when it comes out -- because we know hes going to try out other things he is interested in but will mainly stay with what his audience primarily enjoys (WoW).

It also probably doesnt help that FF14 streaming community is very low also - hell, FF14 rarely cracks above 10k viewers on Twitch. Heck, PinkWardLoL streams FF14 to less than 100 people when his League streams go up to 1-2k viewers.

Why?

People can play other games, but WoW and FFXIV are, if not in similar beds (FFXIV is on the right side of the bed ), in similar rooms at least- WoW vs AoC is quite different than WoW vs FFXIV, especially say WoW vs Dying Light or whatever. It's true one could be playing both, and enjoy both, some forum posters here have done as much, but given a content creator dedicating their time to a specific game it's relatively safe to assume that people are pushing for WoW streamers to switch entirely. This is scary, maybe not 'terrifying', in the sense that a influencers are being asked to play another content which acts as noise not for their game and rather another, even if the streamer chooses not to, it also could be not great for FFXIV if these people are making FFXIV look bad while doing it. Overall it could just be not great lol.

Yes I agree people can split time, but if a youtber who has a set schedule that normally posts specifically 90% WoW videos is being asked to switch I think it's quite likely / expected that players are asking for, and envisioning, a full stop switch over (especially in the context of these content creators who complain about WoW frequently, and more than in the past). It's some creators saying "parts of this ship are aflame" and a bunch of viewers saying "JUMP SHIP, DO IIITT". I really don't think that's the ideal PR situation you'd want for your game lol, and that's why I said bit scary ("bit scary", doesn't read as world ending, as I tend not to speak like that in general, but as in "not the ideal situation if you were PR management for WoW" and potentially for FFXIV if the people doing it are like "SWITCH OR YOU'RE UGLY AND I FIND YOUR CAT" . .. . . XD). Like I said though I don't spend particularly much time around the youtube comments/streamer, so I'm just assuming potential realities given the fact you suggested that it's not these forums particularly as much as it's content creators being flagged by viewers.

Not necessarily -- as I said the FF14 YouTube and Twitch communities are tiny. It wouldnt make sense from a monetary aspect to fully jump ship or else you would cut your profit intake.

Like I use the PinkWardLoL example -- hes streaming FF14 for only 86 people, when his LoL streamers are much, much larger.

Well I was speaking from the viewer perspective, of course as a content producer you've to decide what gets you the bed to sleep on at night. It's quite possible you can get cornered into a particular content, and you've to make losses or just grind out the same stuff over and over lol.
