Let Asmongold subscriptions count towards the FFXIV x Twitch Collaborative Campaign

Besides, he's going to flip out when he loses every FFXIV mount off.

Now that you Mention Mount-Offs
You know he might do Glamour/TransMog competitions.
Wonder how well thats gonna go cause XIV does lack abit in this department. So when you run into creative people WHOA BOY.

Not gonna lie, I kinda want Asmon and his merry band of followers to join in FFXIV just so I can see this wave of "toxicity" with my own eyes. If it doesn't surpass Xbox Live voice chat I will be very disappointed.

Indeed-- I'm a legacy player who has played this wonderful game since beta of 1.0-- currently taking my fourth charcater (Leo Dracarys) through Stormblood. Been loyally playing here since when we were less than 100k on the servers, still here now that we're over 22 million.

Thus, I will absolutely smirk in irritation (and clearly speak my mind) when I see a whole bunch of glorification for some toxic streamer coming over to this game.

You sir/ma'am just became my new friend. Finally someone who isn't drooling over Asmongold "The Toxic".

I kind of feel like people are good at adapting to their current situation.

The stuff that's generally acceptable/encouraged in WoW is very different from what's in FFXIV, and most people prefer to fit in.

That said- if they come over with their community, they probably will just retain what they already built, but I do think that a lot of the worst members of his community think FFXIV is a weeb game so they'll at best last a few levels before just giving up on it.

Another thing is- the worst of his community, the snipers, won't be able to stream snipe and wpvp harass him in FFXIV, so I kinda feel like the worst of them won't bother following him here.

We...are nowhere near 22 million active players. We might have about a couple million at best (and even that might be a stretch), though that number is probably poised to go up given recent events with a certain other MMO. It'd be nice, but 22 million will simply never happen. I will happily eat these words should such a massive gain happen though.

I saw this and laughed. Blizzard wished they were sitting at 22 mil subs. Maybe back in classic wow, BC, and wrath. And that is maybe. But Blizzard is lucky to even be at half of that now. They are just too shitty at what they do now and how they treat their player base is down right pitiful. I understand your loyalty to WoW. It is admirable. But 22 mil subs is over stretching it a lot at this moment.

So far in every thread including this one the only thing I've seen is unilateral toxicity FROM the FFXIV players and not the other way around. I've seen a couple streams from Asmongold and both him and his followers gave me a "dudes having a night out googling random things for shits and giggles" vibe that is entirely satirical and seems to fly over most of the people here that lack any sense of humor.

Seriously, if you don't like him, ignore him. No need to go on a twitter crusade to get him to stop playing.

The betas in chat rn malding they might get called out for being bads lol

If you are playing FF you are already bad. Anybody with enough time to waste can learn scripted encounters. Get in a PvP game then start barking like an a̶l̶p̶h̶a̶ dog lol.

Weird, I must have missed the part where I was defending WoW or saying that it had 22 million subs. Might be because I didn't do either of these things. I also have no reason to do so since I quit the game out of disgust. I was simply pointing out that THIS game didn't have that many, and I made no mention of WoW's numbers. Not like I could anyway. Blizzard doesn't release that information anymore. The 22 million being touted by the poster I was responding to is created accounts (spanning the entire life span of the game so far), not active players, which are 2 completely different things. That is what I was pointing out.

yeah about that...we got a taste of what i'll be like when he plays it yesterday on rich's stream (who I didn't know about before) and it's basically going to be chaotic.

I feel kinda sorry for when this "Asmon" does stream ff14 as I can see it being difficult for him to do literally anything ingame due to a herd of players following him to the point where passby'ers will think it's a community event or something (which I admittedly did) and get swept up in. I mean if you saw this amount of people at one location wouldn't you think it's a event as well?

Personally I don't have much to any opinion on streamers since all I want to do is play the game but even I know that it's going to be hard for someone as popular as 'asmon' to play the game at all, especially after seeing the 'test' of what it'll be like with 'rich' that I kinda feel sorry for after witnessing it first hand on what it'll be like ingame.

either way, I think people should just start sending out the word to leave them alone like they did with Jesse Cox as it seemed to have toned down the issues I addressed here with them. then again though their communities are different so it might not work. that's enough outta me though, i'm going back to gaming

Shockingly, there are more FFXIV players than WoW players on the FFXIV official forums.

I'm just wondering how many more threads MPK can get out of this before people stop taking the bait. It's kinda funny, in a bile fascination way, but it's gonna get old eventually.
