Heres the full rundown starting Shadowlands
>bfa just ended and it was mostly shit
>shadowlands released and its turbodogshit
>worse than cata worse than wod
>massive content drought on a X.0 patch
>first patch of shadowlands releases
>it's the worst patch in history
>worse than voice chat or selfie patch
>mass exodus from wow, game has never been closer to dying
>all ecelebs milking doomers trying to figure out where to go
>eventually settle for xiv cuz alternatives are somehow worse

meanwhile xiv
>inferiority complex because they are always №2
>had a great expansion recently so game is at it's peak
>/xivg/ is a roleplaying chatroom so it's impossible to talk about the game
>xiv is full of cultists who don't allow you to talk about the game in a negative manner unlike wowfags
>/wowg/ is slow as fuck since everyone quit and theres nothing to talk about
>the exodus gives /xiv/ies an excuse to shit talk wow and discuss their game in /wowg/ at the same time
>/xivg/ remained /soc/
>/wowg/ became the general to talk about xiv
>xivniggers didn't miss an opportunity to shit talk wow in /v/ wow threads
>this was going on for months until a janny had to start babysitting /wowg/ and instantly banning anyone mentioning xiv
>problem still remained
>outside of 4chan most retoilet players gave xiv a try at one point
>xivniggers learned a lot about wow through osmosis
>the two games became interlinked always using the other as an example when discussing flaws everywhere
>fast forward til today when xiv has their own shadowlands equivalent fiasco and they are looking for alternatives

TLDR the worst wow expansion connected the 2 communities and ever since xivvies have felt welcome in any wow related thread including pserver ones such as this
