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

[Moonlite]

We arnt Zealots, chill out with that nonsense. We are just FFXIV players that enjoy our game and want others to enjoy it as well. And a few bad actors dont represent the FFXIV community as a whole.

Your post reads like you just want to take down anything positive about this game, over a small group of trolls.

You do know a large percentage of the community sends gifts to the dev team and is supported here on this forum and reddit.

How many players of this community can enter the Aether DC and the Cactuar server?

The comment I replied to said "community as a whole".

Sry if i dont share your opinion but for me most streamers (and this includes this guy) are nothing more than some kind of leechers which live the easy life and let other people pay for the stuff while most of the people have to do a real job to earn their money. So as you can guess i dont have the highest opinion about these kind of people and thats why i dont care if someone has 10k, 100k or 1million viewers or followers. They play the same game as you and me and are just another fish in the big sea of players and not someone special just because they have a few ppl which watch their stuff.

You do not have to have a high opinion of them but it is foolish and navie to chalk a streamer that is able to put get more viewership then the top 10 FFXIV streamers combined prior to their arrival.

The reality is they are not just normal players, their opinion and experience have far more weight just due to the reach they have.

This is far more then a few people. The reality is this their experience and perception of the game holds great value for many prospective players and SE should do everything they can to make sure their experience is not hampered by external forces far too much since that perception will stick around.

Though end of the day this is why we have the GGGCBTW meme.

Wasn't it over 200k? I didn't watch the stream but I had heard it was over 200k. Considering FFXIV had far more engagement on twitch yesterday than WoW and even Fortnite it's massive surge in interest can't just be ignored.

As for the rest of yesterdays debacle.

It was disgraceful levels of trolling and harassment and I hope literally thousands of perma bans result from it. Many will have been his own fans, but not all of them by a long shot. The ridiculous herd that followed him everywhere was probably made of of his own crowd, FFXIV gatekeepers and some confused players who were just curious about the whole thing. Jumping in his face constantly, killing quests mobs and crowding NPC's all deserve bans. His chat is awful, but the guy himself isn't that bad, people really need to grow up.

Tbh not sure I had to take care of a few things so when I stopped watching he was at around 120k though would. not shock me if he broke 200k.

Though yeah SE should take action.

I really hope this doesn't become a thing, i'm really looking forward to Endwalker and the Gilgamesh aether run's we'll be doing, and.... dang it i hope this just all ends soon.

Let me put it in perspective. There were reports of a queue on Cactuar of 700? A thousand? When I played WoW Classic at launch I was in a 18,000 person, 7 hour queue.

Not the point I was trying to make, but I'm also not going to continue to beat this dead horse into the ground...

[Sotaris]

Currently there is 162k watchers in FFXIV category in Twitch.
Asmongold stream is currently having 156k viewers.

I'm not going to say I don't partially feel sorry for him, but literally everyone warned him not to stream it, so he had it coming.

He had it comming eh. So welcoming for new players.

That said, I give the man some credit for such ungodly patience. I mean, I knew it would happen, but for 10 hours straight? dang...

Nobody deserves to be harassed when trying to play a game. It doesn't matter if they're famous or streaming at the time, either - that isn't an invitation for harassment.

This, pretty much.

Also, he seems to fit in Eorzea pretty fine. A bit different from others, but definitely not the first I've seen.
