For those who don't know, Method is a prominent WoW guild (and an organization who host such events) who have done this in WoW Mythic races during BFA a few times. This time around it's going to be about Eden's Verse Savage, 5 teams have been picked to be followed on Method's stream and a bunch FFXIV content creators are going to provide commentary for their Savage prog in the race to world first. Se essentially, Method provides a platform for their partnered content creators and teams for this event. The show is going to start at 9AM GMT.

Honestly, I think its good for the game overall. Gives the game more visibility on Twitch and shows that there are interesting raid fights in the game. What do you guys think?

I think this is great.

And as someone who played WoW I'm very curious as to how these people will feel about FFXIV's raiding, especially given that add-ons are rarely used beyond parsers, which is obviously quite the departure from how the WoW raiding scene is. I have no doubt they will do fine, just wondering how it will impact their opinion on the game.

Oh yea, definetly. From Method's pov I think its also like a test of sorts to see if there is any other games they could provide such content for and see how people respond as they expand their scopes beyond WoW. But yea! Added visibility is always good.

When it comes to how short the WFs in XIV are compared to WoW, I think its also a plus, since there will be less of just hours when nothing interesting really happens and the casters struggle to keep the audience entertained. Hopefully it works, and becomes a thing in the future too for Ultimates and Savage a like!

Not my cup of tea.
I don't really like when adventure and cooperative games are more seen as racing and competitive games, but I understand it can talk to some people.

I do totally understand that viewpoint, but if I might add, its basically the only feature of the game that has sort of possibility and the more HC audience likes to race each other.

This right here. I don't care for it either, I'm not a fan when it turns a MMO into something of speed kill, world first etc. It's how one of my favorite classes got destroyed because of the mentality it brought to the devs. I"ll pass.

I don’t understand, what mentality made the devs destroy your favorite class?

Having all AST's cards turned into minor balance cards. The community loved AST and how it had utility. This whole Balance or bust is the kind of mentality it brought and I don't want to see more of it here.

RIP AST Cards. I do miss the Crit buff.

ninja was ruined for me because raiders were angry that ninja spells clipped with the physical attacks, now it's boring for me and I am not using it anymore.

Seems pretty cool. Might attract more players to this game.
