Is Pyromancer getting a perm ban for having Dalamud?

Really? So those with problems should hide their problems, never speak openly about them, never slip up and be perfect all the time no matter the pressure they are put in?

Never make a mistake again. Just because you dont like someone, doesn’t give you the right to judge them. You don’t know what they go through.

I hope you remember that and I hope when you make a mistake, or when you slip up, someone isn’t so quick to judge you for your mistakes, and your slip ups and instead sees you as the person you are.

When you make a mistake, you should expect to deal with the consequences of that mistake. The bigger the mistake, the bigger the consequences. I enjoy watching Pyro when he's having a good time, but he definitely is an asshole sometimes, this is hardly the first time that he's been an asshole to people in his chat. I've been subbed to him though because most of the time he's fine.

I can't imagine what it's like to deal with that chat because there are some dumbasses in there for sure. But, you don't get carte blanch freedom to "make mistakes" without taking responsibility for those mistakes.

Nobody at all said those people have to hide their problems or not speak openly about them. You're straw-manning. Fact of the matter is, you make a mistake, you deal with the consequences. You can explain why the mistake was made, but it doesn't protect you from the consequences, ESPECIALLY whenever you're abusing others. If he were to get angry at the game that would be one thing.

It's not only the chat tho. While he did the 2nd Endwalker trial for example a healer rescured him into the safe zone and he threw a hissy fit. Often he blames his teammates for his mistakes so much that even his chat doesn't really want him to play with real people anymore. None of these other players deserve to be berated and humiliated on stream just because he can't control himself.

Kind of funny, it’s okay to make fun and cancel a man who is on medication for anger problems he has admitted to and been pretty open about.

All because he has anger issues? So what if he had one of the “cool mental disorders” you all would take up for him? The man has said before he needs his medication and has anger issues that he struggles with and is trying to work on.

There was no reason to witch hunt ban him, UI mods are bloody harmless. Sure I don't always agree with the man especially his take on console players given I’ve been one since day one in this game. But I’m not going to seek to ban someone because he doesn't agree with me. Some of yall need to go outside and touch anything or you need a come to Jesus moment or somethin…

The amount of people saying “what a toxic piece of trash he shouldnt be streaming with a temper like that.” Man with mental health concerns cant follow his passion?

Maybe you all shouldn’t be allowed to speak without empathy.

He even said yesterday (paraphrasing) "I became famous in your community for having a meltdown" regarding his WoW rant. You're not wrong, he has always been open about his anger issues. He also said that FFXIV has helped to calm him, which has been noticeable imo. That's not an excuse to be an asshole, but I've seen plenty of times where chat continues to knowingly aggravate him and then be surprised when he retaliated. I've had him snap at me specifically before in chat for a single comment, but I don't take it personally and I didn't make an argument over it. I moved on so he moved on. We don't know each other. He also brought up the point that he doesn't know anyone in his chat. He only know what you show of yourself in chat, so if you are acting like the type of person who is going to keep pissing him off, he doesn't want you there.

The meltdown was unfortunate, but I actually did chuckle a little when people started saying dumb shit like "ban me" in chat so he did. And they kept doing it, so he kept doing it.

I vaguely remember his attempts at using the Trust system, but that didn't go down well. A lot of recent newcomers to the game, especially WoW streamers, are often carried by veteran players who know the ins and outs of every fight. Naturally this wasn't much of a learning curve and his eventual struggles with higher difficulty content came as no surprise, especially in Trusts where the AI will not heal through too many mistakes. It's a solo mode definitely, but it's not an "easy mode" for people who would rather not respect mechanics.

In any case my primary concern is the continued trend of the FFXIV Community's witch hunting. This isn't the benevolent cause they think it is, it's an excuse to get back at people they don't like.

My spouse also has some anger management issues, and has learned over the years that when he's in a rage, the best thing to do is get off the internet, and go outside and ride his bike for a few hours to cool off before he says something he'll regret. Then when he comes back, he's in a much better head space. (He's not a streamer, he's a researcher, and usually it's someone in his department that pissed him off.)

Not sure if Pyro ever learned a similar lesson. Don't let people needle you, and if they do get under your skin, disengage ASAP and stop interacting.

For anyone who actually watches his streams regularly, he doesn't like being Rescued. He focuses really hard on keeping up his Black Mage rotation and typically does a good job of using his own movement abilities to get around as needed. You said yourself in your response below that you don't even know who he is aside from reading on Reddit. I'm not trying to excuse his behavior by any means, but if you're going to comment as fact then you should probably have your own information instead of peddling it second-hand.

Given what I watched were some clips of his on compilations and that might always be his worst moments. But these gave up a negative impression and I can see why people target him and not others like Zepla who does not behave in such a way. I just don't think you should treat your audience like this, even tho he might as well has good and nice streams but I don't think that would excuse his abusive moments.

When Pyro started streaming I thought his content was neat. Then he raged once and I stopped following him. The last three times I checked on his videos to see if there was anything good going on, by coincidence or not he was raging on stream about one thing or another.

If I were one of his invested viewers and he was calling me an idiot on his stream I’d report him too. Alas I don’t watch people that treat others this way but it’s not surprising people are reporting him after viewing that video on YouTube someone posted here.

The irony in crying about "witch hunts" while attempting to generate a witch hunt yourself against an entire community of people.

"Noooooo don't ban my heckin' favorite streamer who's totally my best friend I donated him my weekly paycheck and he still banned me for not sucking up to him hard enough, but TAKE DOWN THAT ENTIRE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE FOR THE CRIME OF TRYING TO GET SE TO ENFORCE THEIR OWN RULES, THEY'RE PURE EVIL AND DESERVE TO BE SILENCED"

To give credit though, 4chan and 5chan ARE the cesspools of the internet that like to spread evil and chaos whenever possible.

I'm in pretty much the same boat tbh. He's just not fun to watch when it takes him 2 hours of ranting to start every stream, especially the last one where he flat out said he hates console players.
None of this however justifies anyone in reporting him for using harmless mods.
