Goy is shorthand for goyim, if I'm not mistaken. Goyim is anyone who's not Semitic. It's been a term that's been used even longer but I digress.I'm.fairly certain that "goy" is a term for people who aren't Jewish. It's been a thing I've seen in Twitter to help differentiate the two populations. But I'm not 100% sure.
There is a legitimate phenomena of "WoW" refugees, but it's also worth noting a decent portion of FFXIV players are annoyed at the refugees due to some of them transferring the worst of their experiences to FFXIV. Whether it's toxic behavior, griefing, a need for outright cheating add-ons to play the game or what have you, it's caused players to be bitter about these newcomers. In turn, some WoW refugees can't help but be baffled and shocked when it turns out that unlike Blizzard, the FFXIV GM team is actually active. Granted, the GM team is oddly capricious, but you can tell there's humans.She's also so damn off-base when she says that FFXIV is only appealing because WoW is doing poorly. No, it's been growing year-over-year since Heavensward because it has its own appeal. People aren't screaming at each other to play FFXIV because they need validation that it's good, they're advocating for it because they enjoy it so much. It's a joke in the community about how much they push it, they have the common sense to understand that it's not going to be for everyone and they aren't gonna shove it down other's throats. It's good on its own merits, not just when it's being compared to recent WoW.
One thing to legitimately dislike about that review is how she's gonna hold it over everyone's heads; similar to how Dunkey does whenever he does a JRPG review or something stupid involving said reviews. And she's already done it, with that ZP clip.She even admits that it's enjoyable and can see why other people enjoy it, but it's not for her. And that's fine! But saying the game is only recently popular because WoW is doing poorly is completely disingenuous. Yes, WoW has fallen from a monumental height into a deep, deep valley, and many consider FFXIV to be the top MMO now, but FFXIV has been crawling its way up for years.
