Quinyin is ditching FFXIV, says he doesnt understand the hype!

A certain minority of people are eagerly waiting for the day WoW dies and for some other game to kill it. :roll_eyes:

It’s been a common practice over the years to compare and bet on which game that will be, there’s been a lot of contenders. FF is just front runner lately. The doomsayers get stronger when WoW goes through rougher times, like a delayed first patch. And they use that as ammo to hype up the competitor games while attacking WoW.

I mean that might be the case but what is the excuse for the OP?

So what? he played the game apparently but their fans and players expected him to fully go deep into the game and now he’s getting chewed alive because he decided to do other things and drop the game anyway because he couldnt feel connected with it?

What happened I think it was…

  • his fans expected something which is never a good idea ever…
  • fans also expected to throw the game flowers like pretty much everyone else while keep playing…

Attacking the guy for simply not liking the game despite trying the game on his own phase terms is so basic of twitch mentality anyway…

Activizard has been actively killing it for a while now, no other game will kill it.

They’re trying to point out to the devs that there is competition, so they need to step up or the players will step out. So far it seems ineffectual.

Someone said he is an ARPG guy, reason why I never heard of him till the FF14 thing either lol.

The OP’s clearly not in that faction and is opposed to it.

I was just mentioning to Aspect why the topic is so obsessive on the forums lately. :slight_smile:

makes it even funnier that OP is trying to use this guy to prove some kind of a point. lol

Yeah but what’s the OPs excuse for the obsessiveness?

Who even is that? Lol.

Edit: Nvm, it’s the same guy that said the same thing about WoW Classic and quit.

Just like the internet movie data base, I enjoy reading other people’s thoughts on movies and TV shows I am interested in. However, I watch a show or movie without taking into account of the rating or comments about a movie or TV show. I’m my own person, I can draw my own conclusions.

It’s different for streamers. They follow the hype trains because that could potentially lead to more subscribers for them and more money, it makes sense from that point of view.

People should try something out on their own interest levels, not what someone else hypes it up to be.

I don’t like FFXIV, I can’t get past the clunky, boring combat system. It’s a complete and utter deal breaker for me. The questing and combat is just so mundane. Sure, WoW’s quests are boring, but I love their combat system tenfold.

FFXIV isn’t for me, tried it 4 separate times, I don’t get the hype either, but that’s my taste.

aprgs in general are so garbage as of late that I would never even know who this guy was until I read this…

The issue came from his viewers knew right away he wasn’t doing this to have fun but to just gain more viewers due to the hype train, if there was anything to learn bout the game or hear from people he just made fun of them for playing the game. before he played it himself

The issue comes from he played it for simply baiting in more views, if you’re gonna give it a shot, give it a shot, but when people realize you’re just doing it for hype bait, you come off as a douche.

Not to mention, this guy goes out of his way to kill low level quest NPC’s in WOW and encourages his viewers to do it as well to screw with people., not sure you know who you’re defending exactly…

It’s an MMO. This hype will die FAST if story is the only appeal. MMOs need longevity outside of 3 hours per patch.

Not saying FFXIV doesn’t have that, just saying story alone isn’t going to keep people subbed over there. If that’s why people are playing, this is a temporary thing.

Yeah, I’m waiting for Lost Ark to give it a shot. I’ll pick up Diablo 4 when it comes out in 2036 too.

Most people at end-game enjoy the valor/JP currency grinds. Along with a legacy currency to get good gear on their alt classes. A simple system with simple means.

Twitch streamer following the hype train what a surprise… their own fault as fans and also the community of that game for expecting the guy anything in the first place the guy apparently is more of arpg games which is already telling you a big deal of what he likes…

I will never understand the need of twitch hiveminds to magically generate a parasocial relationship with the streamer in general and control what the guy do and his choices…

It’s bad sight to attack people for simply playing the game the way he wanted and still quit it… looks bad for a community that apparently “FFXIV” praises so much about anyway.

Issue is he was shooting first, harassing healers/DPS, calling them and people doing this game “Stupid weebs.”

If he said “It’s just not for me” It’d be fine, but since he went out of his way to go after the players, he should’ve seen that coming. When his own mods told him to cut it off, you know you got an issue.
