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

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

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.
