The great streamer Asmongold is joining FFXIV

The XIV community screams in anxiety as it's toxic to you.

I've seen a few people in his chat say it, but I'm kinda half-watching while I run Zadnor. Now his chat is spamming how toxic these people/community is. It's kinda ironic, since ffxiv players go on about how toxic they are.

The question here becomes...who is who? Like, how many of the griefers are doing it because he badmouthed FFXIV so much, how many are WoW players with secret FFXIV accounts trying to start crap, how many are there because they're just fans of him, etc? It's going to be hard to lay the blame on a single source here.

Not gonna lie, following him around with so many mounts he can't see around himself, and sniping quest mobs, is probably one of the more toxic things I've seen from the FFXIV community.

Are they doing it because they're part of the FFXIV community, or are they doing it because they are part of the Asmongold community?

That sort of thing is what the Asmongold community does all the time in WoW. That why so many players have been expressing reservations about his decision to come to FFXIV if he was going to come to stream it.

Asmongold invited them to follow him here. He's not dumb. He knew what the outcome would be. He invited it because it would increase views and that increases the money he earns from his stream. He can feed his head cannon about how terrible FFXIV is this way when it's not FFXIV at fault.

It's his own stream and the community he nurtured at fault.

It's hilarious how many people fail to see the bigger picture. We are currently in content drought for the next 4 months, and subs had already plummeted. Asmongold coming to the game and bringing a lot of new players is the best thing that could happen right now. Maybe that sudden additional sub money income will allow SE to let male bunny boys use hats. Limsa RPers should actually be helping him out by logging out instead of staying logged in AFKing.

One good thing happened today. He tried to start on my server but it wasn't accepting new characters.

Prevented the mess that Cactuar is dealing with now.

Is this a modification of the political saying...

[political group] wails in pain as the bludgeon you to death.

Or they could go to a server where RPers actually are. While they're at it they could go to Ul'dah too, you know, where the RPers actually hang out.

I mean, RPers roleplay where they want. Limsa does have RP, just to a lesser extent than what Ul'dah is known for.

Just glad it's not on my server...

All of ya'll being kill stealing griefers and making it harder for him to kill quest mobs, if you are on the forum: stop it! It makes our community look crap when you do that.
