Modders did it to themselves

[RedLolly]

I didn't know this guy (the streamer), and after listening for an hour or so, I'm sad I do now.

He seems like a arrogant pr*ck that thing he knows everything while in fact seeming to know nothing.

He's a world first raider that's had a lot of influence in combat perception in the player base because he's objectively really damn good at FFXIV. You can actually trace the healer rage and boycotts directly to him as and a few others in the media tour for Endwalker did the preview dungeon with no healers and cleared it with zero deaths. He's SO good he's on the shortlist of players that indirectly shape the meta.

But he's also stuck as a single game streamer that has had the air that he doesn't like the game he plays anymore and hasn't for a while, but actually makes bank during the ultimate and savage raid launches so he can't move on.

Healer outrage was a thing long before that media tour and his community was at the time openly hostile to anyone in support of the healer strike thread. That media tour run was merely the final straw.

Xeno himself wasnt hostile (unlike arthars) but did vehemently disagree with one of the core points of the healer strike thread which was nerfing tank self sustain.
