The great streamer Asmongold is joining FFXIV

[Awha]

It certainly doesn't help when people try to poke fun with GCBTW or similar things.

It's an interesting event, for sure, but likely temporary. A spike in Twitch presence or one world's increased activity due to Asmongold isn't going to change the community that much in the long run. If he ends up liking the game enough to continue with it as a secondary game to WoW, then great. If not, that's alright too. Things will settle down eventually and the community will be fine either way.

The community at the core will be fine either way do not think anyone has said otherwise but I do think the perception of the community will be skewed going forward depending on the spin his experience with the game takes and how many others follow suit. Will be interesting to see if other OTK members or other streamers join him depending on his experience.
