The great streamer Asmongold is joining FFXIV

I really don't think the ARR grind will phase him as much as people think. Man has played WoW near 24hrs a day for most of his life. ARR grind is nothing compared to some of the totally brain dead grinds that game can throw at you, and it's, what? I think it can be knocked out in three days if you go hard at it?

It's definitely going to be Zack vs how terrible jobs feel before 60.

Then you aren't paying attention. People getting banned for things like swearing while serial harassers remain for months. RP groups getting banned for using party finder to advertise while RTM advertisements and groups are not touched. The mere fact that GMs are not allowed to tell you what you did wrong leaves it rife for corruption with no way to fight any such punishment if innocent.

Sorry, but those are not necessarily proofs of corruption, though you're right that the lack of information that we have could be abused. But again, individual experiences aside, I have yet to see anything that will necessitate being silent in this game. Otherwise, not paying attention wouldn't have mattered because the attitude of the community would've changed. So it's not that the community is surviving despite a corrupt rule enforcement, but because, if there is corruption, it is at a minor scale, and that people, for the most part, can still trust them to enforce the rules.

Please check that image. The end of the world began 4/20. It is still ongoing.

Oh, right, i completely missed the connection. xD

...The concern is his viewers and what some of them will likely do if they follow him in creating an account to play the game. SE won't put up with the things that Blizzard ignores but it could make things unpleasant for a few days while the GMs deal with any problems.

What kind of things are you envisioning? I haven't been watching or even really aware of him for too long, maybe a month or so.
Would his followers join en masse and just start yelling at all of us what dweebs and weebs we are, how stupid this all is, etc?

Get ready for an influx of toxicity - homophobia, transphobia, ableism, sexism...

This is the worst day of my life.

Was going to say, how can anyone say this person is “great” on any level?? Then I see who OP is…

[LunaJoy]

I would love to think were more mature than that. If he has valid points people shouldn't reject it outright. We've lost at least 1 amazing content creator due to the community pitch forking them out because they raised valid criticism about the game.

Of course its a different matter if he acts like Sodapoppin did in his reaction to the Endwalker trailer and dismisses everything without giving it a proper try.

His reaction to Endwalker was horrible. He hasn’t even tried the game yet and all he did was put it down and call us all Weebs…the fact that he’s going to try it, great. Maybe it will shut him up. But I’m guessing he’s just going to keep trashing it

sad that people still somehow manage to fall for a forum troll, does the second part of his sentence not give it the f away?
or do you hang around circles where this extreme exaggeration over a nothingburger is a daily occurrence and thus you think it's how a real person would react?

[Hanayumi]

He tends to trash and hate on everything anyway, even WoW... especially WoW, im sure blizz isnt too fond of him.

[Theodric]

Offering up constructive or even scathing criticism of something does not necessarily equal hatred, though.
