The great streamer Asmongold is joining FFXIV

[Arkellian]

We did it boys! Anyone else as excited as I am!? What great news! Rejoice!

Ha take that you haters! I was right he did eventually join!

First of he is not a great streamer, second i dont know how i feel about this.. as a ex wow player myself his twitch is more toxic than league of legends.
he can try the game, but i hope he dont last long. WE DO NOT need his toxic entourage in this amazing game.

i personally dont know why ppl are so excited.yikes

Truly an example of a great, welcoming community. I hope he enjoys his time here and sticks around just to spite the people that wish he quits before he even tries it out.

Why are you so afraid of getting banned to the point you won't talk at all? I think the way ToS is being enforced in-game is a little bit exaggerated.

I’d just rather not deal with it tbh. There’s a lot of problematic people in the game and i’d rather not take the chance of saying something and them taking it the wrong way and turning it on me. Already had that happen once and i’d really rather not go through that again.

Big agree, will never be great til it’s fully welcoming of new players regardless of their own opinion

My dude, respectfully you should never take what any commenter on this forum says seriously if they have less than like a 100 post count.

Arkellian, no disrespect, but it's just easier to assume new faces are alts here to rile up trouble. Obviously you are entitled to your opinion if it is indeed your real feelings.

In fact, the more he riles them up, the better.

Out of curiosity I watched his latest stream. He said he is against jump potions (even in wow) and intends to play the game as it was intended.

I hope he's prepared for 150 hours of story. This game isn't very streamable, I suppose dailies or whatever he does on WoW isn't either though. People will probably watch him for him, regardless of what's being played. In any case, I'm sure it'll be quite amusing, the amount of fun that will be made at this game or community's expense, and I'm sure many here won't like that.

Questions is why do certain people feel this way who know him. Seems like it's really former WOW players who have a problem with him and not the FFXIV community who haven't played WOW. I don't know him and fine if he comes but seriously from what I've read about him on this forum by people who know him I suspect his coming isn't necessarily a boon to the game.

Secondly the OP is here to stir the pot and many people simply fall for his ploy continuously.

Why should anyone care?

Why should anyone care?

Isn't it obvious? If I recall correctly, Asmongold regularly gets viewers in the mid tens of thousands, that's massive advertisement for this game, and his fanbase are WoW players - a direct competitor of FFXIV. Players who are in the targeted demographic of this game. People can continue to say "who?", "why should anyone care?", but I'm sure SE does. Companies pay tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands for these sort of sponsorships.
