The great streamer Asmongold is joining FFXIV

Indeed, if SE is unchallanged for some time, we might see another blizzard with no content and unless gameplay systems.

Weird to see someone else post something like this. I was musing about how I wish ShB wasn't SE's Wrath.

Unfamiliar with WoW. Did Wrath have a good story but lack of content like ShB?

It always makes me laugh when I read the typical "WhO cArEs!!" response. It only makes you look stupid because you're trying to pretend that the size of his viewers isn't significant. Yet, SE welcomes him with open arms!! So obviously they care rofl!

This game is already big without him, its been kicking and lighting a fire under WoW and the MMORPG scene long before Asmond decided to try it.
There are tons of other WoW streamers who have already been playing this game, So AsmondGold coming in really is nothing special. He's a big streamer...neat....he's still nothing special. What humors me the most about all of this, is the amount of worship surrounding this guy, and that people treat this like its such a big deal.
Even Asmond is like "Guys its just a Game"

It is often considered the peak of WoW. It featured one of the most loved villains of the franchise (the Lich King/Arthas), and had one of the best raids (Ulduar). It did have more content than ShB, sadly.

I just remember it also being when WoW boasted it's highest sub count, not unlike ShB. Here's with all fingers crossed and a lucky rabbits paw that SE doesn't drop a Cata on us.

Hah yeah, would be quite hilarious if we saw 7.0 being another Cata.

But I second that TBC/Wrath was probably best expansions in WoW history, Legion was good but it was like what 4 expansions later?

This alone should say more about his fanbase or white knighty FF fanboys in his twitter feed.

No one said the game isn't big. And I don't see SE welcoming other WoW streamers. Just because people like him, doesn't mean they worship him. All I see is some here are jealous of him and are trying convince themselves and others that he's nothing special.

Why does SE need to welcome WoW streamers? Not like they are any more Special then a Wildstar or ESO player.
And people more then like Asmond, the fact you think people are 'trying convince themselves and others that he's nothing special.' tells me you think he is.
And he's not...he's a guy that plays games and talks about things like....I dont even know how many other people.

He's a dude that streams and enjoys playing video games, what a big deal. Besides, he himself has already asked to pretty much be left to enjoy the game without any drama or unpleasantries; "It's just a game"

People don't need to convince themselves of anything, especially whether he is or isn't anything special. People be out here acting as if it's the apocalypse, or as if a singularity is going to occur because he's decided to try out a video game.

I don't really relate to Asmongold, his viewers or his streaming content. The fact that he is trying FFXIV coming from WoW I am indifferent to. I hope he gives the game a fair shot, with a clear mind and not to critique the game for viewers rating, but evaluates it for what it is to many, a great video game to add to one's collection. At the same time I hope the FFXIV players gives Asmongold a fair shot as well before flying off the deep end and judging him before he's even started. Jealousy doesn't even come into play.

Completely unrelated but I swear I hear almost equal levels of circlejerking about how not great this community is from people within the community as the types who spam it under every post at this point. Place on the internet isn't as nice as it seems is apparently a huge deal to people on both sides of this argument I do think people should have more self awareness about how we aren't that much better than any other game but Christ I'm sick to death of GCBTW unironically and ironically
