I highly doubt it was front page news on the FFXIV Launcher screen that Asmongold was going to be appearing, live on Twitch, with a new character on Cactuar. At least I don't remember reading that before clicking on the Play button.

To the point about those players with "Ultimate gear and mounts" being present: I was playing both WoW and FFXIV concurrently for almost four years, so it is not foreign to my mind that a number of current-and-past WoW players who are fans of Asmongold and enjoy high-end raiding and testing themselves to the limit were also doing so in FFXIV.

I suspect that any time a major Twitch Idol [I think the description fits, right?] appears in a new game, they are greeted by fans and paparazzi. That is the community that greeted Asmongold, not the "FFXIV community".
No one claimed Asmonhold is a Twitch Idol, your words not mine.
I think most people who are online and play this game and been for awhile has heard of Asmongold, especially if you follow some of the bigger content creators for 14, such as ZeplaHQ.

Despite your claim "don't care" you are pretty vocal here about it and know a lot about it, and Asmongold streaming the game is a good thing, we had over 200k viewers on Twitch yesterday where 95% was in Asmongold's stream. He brings people and attention to the game on Twitch, he was even trending on Twitter I hear.

This is no small feat.
