Upcoming wipe/drama fest 8/13/2021

lol yeah you figured me out I am using my super power standing at the FF14 gates keeping them out of the MMO...... As I explained in the post above yours these are not some small fry streamers with 50 viewers but very established large streamers in the WoW community with a very large amount of authority with opinions that matter to A LOT of people.

If Max gets done with all of this insanity and make no mistake it is craziness you could see a new flood of not casuals but raiders this time around bored out of their ever loving minds in WoW right now. The idea of being able to instantly gear at max, no time gated secondary systems, PVE vendors, master loots, no BS aoe damage caps and no raid trash is very appealing to a lot of people but they have been told for years it is not challenging.

ALSO if Square Enix does not instantly ban them which they won't these same people will realize add ons are allowed but you have to be careful not to cross a fine line. That is actually a big thing holding a lot of people with barely any knowledge from FF14 from trying. I am still waiting on the pvp wave with Savixx trying it out.

Okay I'll bite.

More people in a game is only ever going to be a good thing, outside that who cares how they play the game everyone plays their own way. Like I said why should we care that they have boosted and are raiding outside of the fact that more people will come in. This is the exactly same discussion when Asmon played. When people worry and care too much about who is playing that is when gatekeeping happens.

I can literally link you threads upon threads where players who asked for more challenging content got told to play a different game because "it's not the game for them" from 2.0 beta and onwards, even though this game was originally the game for them. Infact here's one I remember off the top of my head: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...FXIV-more-easy

so you can act like this community won't throw a fit and try to gatekeep an whatnot but the more "hardcore" players come to play the game again and start incorporating themselves into the community the more gatekeeping/drama you'll see.

meh whatever though. we all know history will just repeat itself here since it'll just be a repeat of the "More Like WoW vs More Like FFXI" debate in 2013 or whether they should add in Jumping and so on. Honeslty though? after 10+ years playing this game on/off i'm just too tired to care anymore.

I didn't say this community won't throw a fit, there will be people that will throw a fit and there will be people that don't care. I am but one person in a sea of voices. This is just my opinion.

And you completely lost me on everything else I was just commenting more people coming into the game, not whether the content is challenging or not.
