3) Could've easily taken the job up to 60 with the free trial and did some savage at 50 and 60 levels easily
4) Quin could've easily just skipped the msq and done all the dungeons and trials/raids (by skip, I mean skip cutscenes as he goes from 1-60)
5) Says he was able to compete with 80 players, but dps parses on multiple ends showed that he was on the bottom of dps, and also being beaten by pld dps
6) Doesn't bother reading any of his tools (which follows his WoW streams, as he doesn't do it there either). So I expected below grade F- anyways
7) Saying the story sucks, but skipping 95% of it (aside from shb) lulll.
8) Comes in as an arshole-- leaves an arshole. Got everything he deserved as far as I'm concerned.
9) Clunky gameplay-- okay, fair enough. I'll actually accept that. Sometimes it is clunky. Not all games have this feeling that xiv does from time to time.

Overall C- since he's trying to be a chad, but failed (as I believe it's all for comedy effect). I don't think he actually gave the game a fair shot, but he was entertainingly stupid, and it was funny.
Exactly. Given all of this, why should anyone take his opinion of the game seriously? The only people who I imagine taking his opinion and agreeing with it are people who are already biased against the game and looking for any confirmation/validation that the game is bad, even when it's done in a totally improper, biased way.

If even his own moderator called him out on it, that just goes to show you what type of people are watching it and going, "yeah, this guy is totally right."

That's why nobody should really worry. Those people were probably never going to play FFXIV anyway.

The game is doing extremely well. Asmongold gets over a million views on his Twitch streams of the game. People are googling for it more than WoW, and digital copies sold out.

Just like any big thing, not everyone's going to be into it. Let those people be, regardless of how they conduct themselves.
