Harassment to Asmongold on his 1st day stream is an Embarassment to FF Community

[Wasselin]

I'm still not sure why there are people who latch onto anything that proves that the FFXIV is toxic. What do they want to achieve by "proving" this?

[Bacent]

Streamers are also the ones more prone to getting spammed like this. Because people can stream bomb and go 'lol he angy'. This isn't new.

Is it sad that people in the community are doing that? Yeah, beyond sad.

Are at least a decent bit of them people who have been following him? More than likely.



Some things to suggest to him. Find some people to be in a party with in the open world content, if he has a party then he has people who can help him get quest completion at the very least by getting enough credit on killing stuff.

There's a few macros to turn off/on skills from inside/outside the party, so that could help him see a bit better.

In the night sky, you’ll see some light that distracts from the vastness but it never ever overshadows it nor takes away from its beauty

Few irritating people don’t color a community. How narrow do you have to be to deal with these types of absolutes

[FudoMyoo]

I think should rephrase, those jerkoffs that are from Cactuar, OR ported in to Cactuar should be ashamed of themselves. Especially those that keep harassing this tuber game with mounts/spell castings/killing mobs before him.

It's disgusting.

P.S. I never knew who Asmongold was until someone posted in this forum that he is some famous tuber from WOW. I really wanted to see him play and his true opinion on FF14. It was ruined with those asshats surrounding him.

I saw the stream, are we ignoring all the sprout characters? I doubt it was just ffxiv players making new chars on cactuar. but we can just act like "bad ffxiv community"

[Fyrebrand]

Asmon has done one favor for us. He shown everyone EXACTLY what this community is.

Oh, okay. Good to finally know that some fringe group of random weirdos on Cactuar today is the true FFXIV community. I guess the rest of us were just poseurs all along, who don't really play this game and don't matter. We should pack it up and leave so that Asmon and his legion of True FFXIV Fans™ can carry on, unpolluted by our illegitimacy. Did we even have a community, before now, or did Asmongold create it? It's like, how do you know your life is even real, and that you aren't just a clone implanted with false memories? Was I even playing FFXIV on my own server today, or was that a lie?

Yes it’s already covered in the other thread, but in case many others don’t go into that main thread, here’s the PSA to the entire community.

During Asmongold’s first day stream today, people in Cactuar were crowding and blocking NPCs, spamming Holy and flashy magic, killing quest mobs, killing all other mobs, blocking mobs with Mounts, for hours.

In Twitch and Reddit, it was claimed that “these were done by his fans who wanted him to quit FF”, which is probable. But some of these harassment also came from max level players wearing Ultimate weapon with rare, difficult to get mounts, so hopefully it’s none of the FF fanbase.

On a positive note, he had a good experience in Satasha with helpful party members as well.

This is just a call of notice to say that the FF community is better than this, and everyone deserves their chance to play and enjoy the game, as much as anyone else. We were all refugees from other games at one point, and regardless which streamer you like or dislike, they should be given the chance to try out the game.

I’m sure someone will call me out for generalizing everybody, that’s not my intention. This was just the observation of what happened today and it’s worth a notice.

The people that were harassing him is hardly representative of the FF community. From what little of it I saw was stream snipers and people that are typically part of asmons fan base; which trolling, is bog standard.

Everything else, yeah I agree. Hopefully those that were behaving how they were are taken care of though.

Certainly not your intention. Nope. Not at all. Not even click bait.

So ah ... the drama continues but not in the way people think.

The Lead Product Manager of Blizzard called Asmon an Ahole on twitter, then he and a number of other employees had to switch their account to private.

So ... eventful day lol *nibbles popcorn* https://old.reddit.com/r/wow/comment...lizzard_calls/

The Jaina storyline from BFA is as good as Shadowbringers, IMO

You have GOT to be kidding me. I played that and it was a sick joke. BFA was, and is, and always has been a dumpster fire. Disjointed story, bad graphics, mission tables, RNG, drip fed "war campaign"..Ive been gaming for decades , BFA was and is deficient in almost every area.

The "invasions" were a copy and paste from Legion, I didnt see ONE original idea or storyline.

The entire BFA premise was absurd, hackneyed, old, done to death,. we'd gone to fight ancients with massive power, and instead of building on that and working forward, they reverted to the faction war that NO ONE believes is worth a stack of beans.

I was Alliance and I remember full well having to go to some weird place, the first dungeon area, no idea where it was, no story on how we got there, no story on how we even knew it existed, to rescue some guy we didnt even know was in the area and to attack and kill NPC's with zero story behind what they were there for. No idea on how I got there, no backstory on any relation to the current campaign, no details as to how whathisface even GOT there to begin with, to say less of what he was doing there.

It was like a jigsaw puzzle with 3/4 of the pieces missing. None of it made a lick of sense...to say NOTHING on how BFA ended..oh wait yeah, I did see an ending like that before, actually.

In Lord of the Rings.

So no, BFA was nowhere near the quality of Shadowbringers and never will be.

I've disliked Blizzard since they were absorbed by Activision, but it's nice to see they still have some honest employees who speaks the truth there.
