Same fate happened to JP popular streamer

Who. Cares.

Obviously everyone discussing it?

Uh.. no? I had hoped the FFXIV community, especially the JP one who generally is more respectful of other peoples experience (just normal people.. not even streamers) would have given her some space, but this a pretty bad face to present to ANY large public audience.

Only following this by why other people have commented, but I understand she started in Elemental which is home to Tonberry server and thus generally attracts more English speakers across the data centre. So even if it the behaviour is completely a language-cultural divide, playing here does not mean you'll only be playing with the polite Japanese people.

I hope Pekora-sama can play in peace. :<

That's for sure. I immediately thought she'd rolled on Elemental when hearing about the behavior. It's sad that my beloved data center is representing itself poorly to such a large audience.

If people who might have enjoyed the game get a bad impression because someone can only show basically gobbue butts all stream, then we lose potential players.

I'm starting to see that you're just looking to dump in this thread, but Pekora in particular is one of the largest female streamers in the world whereas say.. Asmond was more of one of the larger MMO streamers. Why does this matter? Streamers, like it or not, are a big draw for games. They are how a lot of todays young adults and children find new games. They are the new "entertainers" of this generation. I could go into WHY but I'm pretty sure you're just here for negativity and to dismiss. But I'll close in saying that the concern here is that FFXIV being exposed to the larger population this streamer has as a negative experience is something anyone interested in the expansion of FFXIV should dislike.

I don't agree with anything you said. You are trying to stir up controversy where there is none. Enjoy yourself.

That is your prerogative.

I'm not trying to do anything other than give perspective on why someone would be concerned about a popular streamer having a bad experience in this game.


You do you.


As always the forums astounds me with the kinds of things that people will vehemently argue against or deny.

She rolled in Bahamut.. so I dunno. I really don't think it was just english tourist BMing... just a lot of people excited to see her not realizing what they're doing.

[CaptainLagbeard]

I think it's mostly fans wanting a big streamer to notice them and what not... But it can lead to a very annoying experience for the streamer in question.

Who. Cares.

[Fawkes]

killed her tagged mobs

You get credit for the kill if you tag it first, so that's not an issue.

[LittleImp]

Who. Cares.

You, judging by the amount of extreme envy you seem to feel towards streamers.
