Upcoming wipe/drama fest 8/13/2021

[Divinemights]

Wondering what the communities thoughts on this are right now? Limit Max seems to think the community cares about them boosting given the Source Twitlonger. I see the difference between World first raiders boosting and Quin69 or LazyPeon (Might just be me).

How do you guys think this is going to go?

Don't really care about bunch of 2nd or 3rd rated took the first place just because real good WoW players quitted.
FF14 contents are never intended for these type of people and never will.
They are not SE's core audience nor FF14 community really cares about mmorpg hoopers.

They will probably have a lot more fun than people who complain about "elitists" that don't like the carry-oriented design of duty finder.

Chicken little the sky is not falling today. I wouldn't call this a drama fest. Yeah boosting isn't great; most people who boost never got to learn how to play as one would do through leveling. It's generally frowned upon.

That said I don't really care what some streamers are doing for a stunt where they go into a game blind. I expect the first few rounds to be pretty rough but I might watch for the spectacle. The only people genuinely bothered by this are gatekeepers who see ff14 and wow in some kind of false binary where one has to be "winning". This isn't the horde v alliance. It's two companies with two competing products. You can enjoy both for different reasons without disowning the others, criminal lawsuits not withstanding.

OP reeks of peak internet tribalism. Someone needs to a study on this and its parallels to white flight and unfounded immigration fears. The WoW community is not going to "take over". Lest you forget SE is a Japanese company; the primary market is now and will likely always been Japan. Its an open question if anyone even reads the English forums, in part because of the troll accounts and hyperbolic nonsense like this.

Stop worrying about other players and how they conduct themselves.

Am I the only one who is really looking forward to watching this? I have a very strong feeling it's going to be great fun seeing these raiders blindly fighting their way through what they think are "easy" raids!

So A LOT of you may not know but Limit Max is the leader of the #2 guild in WoW formerly #1 up to like a month ago. About a year ago he created a character and boosted to 70 then rushed to 80 to try out raiding. He took a pause to focus on WoW stuff but he is back. Now that WoW is in the mother of all content lulz with no prospect for content soon Max has decided to organize some WoW players who raid/do mythics to try and blind tackle Final Fantasy 14's hardest content very seriously.

So lets list off the upcoming drama fest from an event that is going to get a lot of a attention on Twitch:
1. All of them will be using ACT (drama fest alone)
2. All of them have boosted and Naguura even made a Youtube video saying she boosted just to do this event and wants to do the story. (SUPER DRAMA FEST)
3. Almost all of them are using UI altering mods
4. They are doing COMPLETELY blind prog on lvl 50/60/70/80 savage/hard/Extreme content and Ultimates with zero guides......
5. Most of them have had maybe a week to learn their classes.

Is it just me or are you always talking about WoW players and WoW drama in this game lol… We get it you don’t seem to like WoW. This really ain’t all that deep. Let’s just all hope they have fun and if they struggle oh well not the end of the world.

...I hope they have fun? Working yourself up over the assumption that they'll cause drama is kind of a self fulfilling circle.

^ The more attention this mmo gets the more attention it gets from professional content creators. If this happens with Icy Veins backing it then you can effectively retire every single job discord overnight especially since come Endwalker some of them will not even be supported anymore.

I do not think they will cause drama at all but the FF14 community has been hounding them hard about boosting and ACT being on stream like it has never happened before.

but you're the one making threads in the forums about this supposed drama fest ? I wouldn't have heard of these people otherwise.

You will hear about it either through post here that go something like this "hurrr durrr these world first raider from WoW were using ACT with no ban?!?!?" or in the party finder pretty soon you will see a bunch of people who boosted talking about their 2k RaiderIO score in WoW and how that makes them pro in FF14 easy faceroll content.

Along with the good comes the bad. 90% of the people that will watch this content that try FF14 will be nice and respectful but you will see that 10% that is the typical WoW stereotype just like with the crowd that saw Asmons streams.

They are getting away because NA players tends either report it wrong or expecting others to do it.
If this is happening in JP, JP community already got them banned.

If you really want them to be ban, you can always post their video to FF14 twitter and asking their PR team on this.
