Why did Asmongold stop playing FF14 if FF14 is so good with a good community?

[Amenara]

I don't know much about the guy, admittedly, though what would he inflict upon FFXIV in your view?

Another influx of disenfranchised WoW players and renewed popularity in FF14 streaming probably.

Edit: Oh and a revival in the popularity of Chocobo Racing too.

Good community? Excuse me sir but we were voted the BEST community! We earned that title!

How I dunno. I'd hate to see the other communities if this is the best.

Can this jircle-cerk get yeeted back to the yubtub comments section, or whatever reddit basement it crawled out of already?

Would be nice to see some threads nuked...even mine to be fair.

Asmongold is a strange fella.

He has some well thought philosophical or just in general points with mostly the gaming industry, but other times he can be quite bizarre lmao (though I really think in those times he is a playing character only for youtube just like one of his best friends does who likes to clown on him).

Why does this matter? ff14 isn't for some people and it is for others. It doesn't really matter why he stopped it, most likely isn't for him lol.

I'm not really the type to defend everything about ff14 but like It's a good game for a lot of people, doesn't mean it has to be everyones cup of tea, If people dislike the game for reasons then they're free to stop.

FF14's community is a mixed bag, most people in duties don't say anything negative due to moderation, so a lot of people tend to assume everyone is nice.

He's definitely got some good takes here and there, but he's also got some bad ones such as his solution to the Ohio train derailment (just get up and move to another part of the US). In the end he's a video game streamer who's there to entertain people, and I personally take certain things he says with a grain of salt.

Quintessentially FF14.

Amusing considering you are doing exactly what you are complaining about.

Asmongold is a influencer, comedian and well a persona. He is not a "real person". Same with all the other fake personas streamers and youtubers etc. we have.

And what do they inflict upon games? Drama and drama and more drama. Cause that is how they make money. Asmongold in particular has build his persona around attracting the most trashy and toxic part of the internet and makes good money with it which is alright but it is a sh*tshow to watch. He has grown so big that no matter what he does online he will have people following him around.

And now imagine him playing an MMO and hundreds of his followers scorching his path before and after him and how that looks to the rest of the games players. Asmongold is playing? Guess we aren't questing in area XYZ today cause his followers will massmurder every mob and clog up everything just to bait a reaction out of him.

Not to mention, again, all the drama. Look at Goldentot, Rich or Pyro and his beef with Xeno. Once they hit the end of the MSQ and people lose interest in them they start to create tons of drama all over the place in desperate attempts to stay afloat.

I think we all know the real reason why Asmongold stopped playing FF14.

Isn't it interesting how even Asmongold had to quit? Despite this being the "best community"?

No, it is not interesting at all. Not how or why or even if.
I mean, why would anyone care about this "Asmenod" or whatever their name is? Not me, that is for sure. I don't know who they are, and I don't care what they do or what they say.
