The great streamer Asmongold is joining FFXIV

[ScarboroughFairy]

I...genuinely don't wanna keep this dumpster fire of a thread running, but I'll give my .02 on this whole affair. After watching a bit of Asmongold's stuff and his OG account--he's not the problem. "Asmongold" is a character he plays and a parody of the type of neckbeards that play WoW. It just so happens that a lot of Twitch apes found that character relatable and end up subbing to his content, ironically enough.

ZackRawrr, who he actually is, is a softspoken, eloquent, and down-to-earth individual. He's actually a cool dude.

That said, I will say I'm worried about the selfsame Twitch apes that might follow him around ingame on whatever server he settles in and potentially ruin the game for everyone else. They'll eventually either be banned from ever playing again or get bored, throw a tantrum, and then leave. I'll also say I'm pretty disappointed in all the damn gatekeeping I'm seeing in this thread as all this purity checking is making my brain hurt. Unironically GCBTW.

If they come here and cause havoc losing their minds Square Enix is going to slap down a lot of accounts with suspensions or bans. My guess is this will not happen and a majority of the bans will be in his chat lol

He even tells people to avoid making "WoW vs FFXIV" comments.

This is literally what I've been trying to say all along in this thread, lol.
