The great streamer Asmongold is joining FFXIV

[iVolke]

That's just his fans, all those people just created their characters

And yet I see numerous heavensward, stormblood, and shadowbringers extreme and savage mounts.

See the mental gymnastics people will make to delude themselves that this community isn't toxic at all?

Do people think like none of his fans were playing FF14 and the main reason he is playing it now is because those fans kept requesting him to?

Here's my question. Doesn't this same thing happen when Yoshi-P comes on with people swarming his location? A celebrity will be a celebrity.

The good thing is, the FF14 devs can see what problems Asmongold has. They could fix them.

I wonder, at what point does he decide to make a second person on a different server (or even datacenter!) to play solo to get an actual feel of the game without being followed.

I wouldn’t mind a gm going rogue and “assisting” the stream.

I am not sure the tools are really in place. But SE couldn't protect its own community streamers when the pvp community decided to grief them on aether.

I'm suspecting he either already has, or is planning to when the stream ends.

I’m sorry, but that’s just funny.

They're eager to try to paint the community as bad as WoW's. In reality, the most of the people floundering over Asmon right now are his fans that have been playing XIV for a while and have been asking him to play it for years, and are finally able to see their favorite streamer play it. Annoying? Yes. But I'm not going to pretend most of the people on him are griefing him and paint it as 'the community'.

Also, now that he is officially a FFXIV player GMs should start banning people that are saying bad things about him. That falls under the harrasment, defamation and callout section of the ToS.
