[MPK]

We did it boys! Anyone else as excited as I am!? What great news! Rejoice!

Ha take that you haters! I was right he did eventually join!

Get ready for an influx of toxicity - homophobia, transphobia, ableism, sexism...

This is the worst day of my life.

While I find your troll baiting with this element very annoying, I will agree with you that his fanbase can be extreme. I think Zak (Asmond's real name) is a pretty decent guy (in his more grounded videos outside of his streams) when he's not got his chat trying to cause mayhem.

But if his chat were to come ingame (not sure they would like WoW) if they were to PERSONALLY attack you, without you baiting them (which now seeing both you profiles posts, seems what you love to do) , then SE would deal with them pretty quickly.

We don't even know if he will be on the same datacentre or server as you (I bet you will move to be on the same server to try and spin your trolling in your favour)

He's the absolute worst. I'm hoping he gets so confused and frustrated by the gameplay that he runs back to WoW.

The lovely FF14 community everyone, round of applause.

... One person is not representative of an entire community. It's like grabbing that one homeless guy in a town who swears at cars and flashes little kids and going "The population of Oregon everyone!"

OK then, from page 1 of this thread only (won't go through 14 pages)

Honey, you would not be happy about this when his toxic fans infect this game, mkay? ^^

Oh great his fans and his guild are a meme for a reason. They can barely complete a raid with two mechanics total and spent like 8 hours wiping to a raid that's more than a decade old. Any actual triple legend would not want this horde of casuals to come to this game.

The great attention seeker comes to the place where he will get the most attention (and money) possible. Shocking!

I hope they are ready to hire an additional army of moderators. I'm not welcoming to people who are toxic, bigoted, and sexist. The game might initially grow but would be set on a path to become just like every other toxic gaming community where many don't feel welcome and end up leaving.

Better? Feels more welcoming?

In fairness I get people's concerns on this one. I think people will happily welcome WoW refugees, there's literally a thread from a couple of days ago where somebody's posted a "I'm a WoW player of 14 years and I'm now a refugee and new player to FFXIV" thread and people were welcoming of this person. So it's not about WoW players vs FFXIV players, heck many FFXIV players are ex-WoW players. Heck there have been streamers who have come over the people have cheered on.

When it comes to Asmongold and his community I think people are worried he'll bring some of that toxicity with him and that it'll cause problems/clashes. Whilst we have our types of toxicity and the FFXIV community isn't perfect, they're people who make fun of FFXIV and it's community, write it off as 'weeb s***' and I think there is worry about the troll potential, and let's face it that's why MPK is so excited.

Whilst I'm not one for responding to toxicity with more toxicity, but I can get people don't want that kind of stuff here.

You'll survive. Everyone needs to stop gatekeeping and rejoice at the influx of new players.

The fact that this post got as many likes as it did in the first place is pretty eye-rolling ngl.
