Square Enix telling us all to spoil DT story for ourselves is totally unacceptable.

Hi Chloe,

You raise valid concerns but are doing so in a bit too aggressive of manner. I recommend adopting a more diplomatic approach if you want your voice to be heard better

I and others have already mentioned it in here, but I'll do so again.

Muting the stream itself makes it so drop progression halts.
But having the stream sound on but muting the tab itself doesn't effect the drop progression.
I've done so for a long time but I tried it earlier today when I saw people in here say muting doesn't work just to be extra sure before posting.

Some also noted that FFXIV will require actively watching, or whatever that implies.
However I personally don't think that one stream on Twitch would work differently than another one in such a manner.
At least I've never encountered a stream with a drop that's worked differently, or not worked with a muted tab.
I don't even watch said tab, I usually do other stuff like watching Youtube or playing games.
So again, I am 99% sure that simply muting the tab will work for the FFXIV twitch drops as well.

Edit:
I wouldn't think that it'll work differently depending on browsers.
But thought I'd add that I'm using Firefox, just incase it might have some importance?

Since when can you not just have twitch in the background? I was getting overwatch drops like a couple of weeks ago with the tab up and muted on another screen. You have to actually claim the rewards now but ??? Does it work differently depending on the campaign or what?

Nothing truly matters, you can open twitch, pick a NA streamer and go to sleep. the next day you have your code.

yup, i'm just tossing mine up with the speakers off.

You got like 2 months to catch up and let the stream run in the background lol, stop stirring up random nonsense.

Sometimes I have a couple from the same game going, incase one or two ends their stream while I'm sleeping so the timer will keep on ticking.

I'm starting to believe this is just FOMO or people really concerned about having the mount ASAP for flex points.

Otherwise, why not just play the expansion first and then go get it? I've yet to really see any make any valid points of why they wouldn't be able to finish MSQ within the month.

A combination of FOMO and not wanting to have the expansion spoiled to them by a Streamer.

So...don't watch streamers....? Just play the game....by yourself....? Watch the streamer after you finish....?
