Patch 6.3: Gods Revel, Lands Tremble (January 2023)

[Lokus]

XIV content creators are the worst.

[Madeline]

Pyro is pretty well known trash.

Pyro always seemed to be on the spectrum to me imo and him having meltdowns pretty frequently was enough to turn me off of him

XIV content creators are the worst.

Reaction content creators are the worst, only way to stomach watching any content like this is to play it at 2x normal speed. I don't give a shit about your personal opinion and bad take on why you're right and they're wrong every 10 seconds. How did we get to this point that this is what is the meta of basically all content creators? lmao

Because they're technically not creating.

Pragmatically, XIV doesn't leave a whole lot of doors open in terms of figuring things out and sharing that with the populace, and it's not like the high end doesn't like to keep that under lock and key for the stupidity of world firsts (or hiding cheating), either. But once rotations are figured out, boss mechanics, and so on, the game is pretty much static until the next batch of changes that may not even affect some things.

Perhaps the one venue that people actually CAN create is both underserved by the MMO industry at large and mocked by people that don't partake for one reason or another, and that would be roleplaying alongside tools to facilitate it (Housing is one, but rather imperfect here). Not that that's without its own drama.

Because its what people watch. Its cheap to make, easy to make and it "creates" more content related to the thing that people care about.

Plus people love meltdowns and parasocial relationships. None of this is new and none of it is hard to break down. If people didn't feed this shit, this shit would barely exist, because none of these "creators" would have made anywhere near enough money to do this as a full-time job.

Speak of Pyro, the last WoW expansion seems to have been generating some buzz - anyone doing content on it again?

[Anoat]

Next live letter will be on March 31st, if current patterns hold that will put 6.4 dropping in mid to late May.
