How come more people dont stream this game?

I mean, honestly world of warcraft has one of the top spots on twitch 24.7 yet we are so far behind in viewers/ and streamers?

Is this game that bad:"? i love it.

I tried for awhile but I'm having issues with the capture. Both programs I have Xsplit and OBS have trouble with frame skips.

Same. My internet is fine for every other game, yet FFXIV skipa a lot of frames... XSplit skips less but I prefer OBS. What's odd is that I can stream huge FATE's fine, yet the second I enter an instance (even it we're just stood there with no combat), it skips waayyy too many frames.

I've test streamed with OBS before, last year I think and there was no problems at all. Could it be hardware based or just a network bandwidth problem?

I have streamed for a few years now, and FF14 is the only game that has given me these issues.

Sadly my bandwidth sucks. Otherwise I'd have consider streaming it too.

I stream it but sadly nobody watches when i do. I get 1-2 streamers per hour which is very boring + then i log out. I have at most had 10 people when the game was near launch. Now, we have around 500 people total watching ffxiv at any given point compared to 12k -15 k that watch WoW?

I believe being a streamer is also about being a personality, no?

You have to engage your viewers, make it more inviting for them to want to watch your stream, etc. After all, if they are going to watch your stream, they're watching it because you are playing the game, not because some random dude is streaming FFXIV. It's all about publicity really...and you also want them to have a good lasting impression of your stream.
