Asmongold is the guild leader, main tank, and loot master he can’t ninja. With that said his guild is rolling for loot until they get to the point where they need to start completing sets and he rolls right along with them unless its MT priority.
Asmongold also has 6 guilds. He takes those donations because 6 guilds is expensive to run. You should worry about yourself at not what the #1 WoW player is doing.
OP’s post reeks of poorly concealed jealousy. Are you gonna sit here and tell me that if you had an opportunity to make six figures playing WoW all day, you wouldn’t jump at the chance? Get the hell out of here man.
Honestly streaming is an exploit, get enough followers to monitize twitch and register as a promotor via the Bliz promotional and marketing department, and you get preferential drop rates, no ques, and other bonuses.
It’s no secret that blizz treats their streamers quite well.
It’s a lot harder than you think to get Partnered or even noticed enough to build a community…
Why do these forums talk about Twitch like they understand everything about it when they really don’t? And I’m not speaking about the forumgoers that are streamers…
I’m not jealous…confused as to why anyone would give a streamer money to play a video game…but not jealous. My point is…Asmongold is extremely judgmental toward other players and the people in his guild…yet he seems to be exempt from the same standards he applies to others. I’m not mad or jealous or anything like that…its just weird that people are ok with it is all…lol I don’t blame him though…you’re right I would probably do the same in his shoes and laugh at how dumb people are all the way to the bank.
They like his content and thus donate him their gold. What’s wrong with that ? It’s not much different than twitch donations… except that a lot more people can donate pixel gold rather than real money.
