The great streamer Asmongold is joining FFXIV

Imagine having so little faith in your "great community" that when players from other backgrounds want to jump you treat it like a sand castle about to fall. If all you idolize about a community is stagnation, then that community has no tomorrow.

Cool.....is it somehow special that hes playing the game?

Asmon himself isn't the problem, if anything that's yet another blow to Blizz - his tempered hivemind fanboys, on the other hand, will likely make the "tales of Duty Finder" thread implode for a while, but just let the ARR leveling process inevitably cull or cure them as it did most of us WoW refugees

To even pull this off you need separate logins...PLUS you need to actually login to the game once every 14 days. That is dedication.

But not the good kind of dedication. It's...pathetic at best that they are willing to go through all of this effort just to crap post on the forums. lol I can't even feel sorry for them at this point, even though part of me feels like I should.

I hope they are ready to hire an additional army of moderators.

Aspects of the XIV community are just as toxic (not THE community as a whole, that'd be a lie) and SE has shown they crack down when it's particularly bad, at least in-game. I love this game to death but just like I have yet to meet a legendary Blizzard Mage, I've yet to meet a WoW player trashing the game or other folks in-game. I do however run into folks that have an aversion to WoW and FFXI... and ESO... and PSO2... and their players trying out the game.

Edit: actually I redact that blizzard mage statement, I remembered when I did lol point still stands though!

14 certainly does have it's share of shady players. You haven't seen ugly till you get a super nice drop from a map while in a group and someone rolls need when everyone else rolls greed.

Like it wasn't a matter of time for someone like him to check this game out themselves anyway ^^

More players = good!

Probably the biggest streamer by a long shot on twitch to play the game.

Honestly don't watch him but it kinda shows that this community has its own toxicity based on some of the replies as a community we should welcome anyone that wants to play the game if he likes its good otherwise it doesn't matter but I feel some people here will be personally insulted if the game isn't for him.

Never heard of them.
