Gather Against Fate or GAF / GOLD / Aera / ERA / or whatever the fuck they call it for short, is NeoGAF's ResetERA's shitty Free Company (FC for short) from the previous 4.0/10 to 9.0/10 MMORPG game Final Fantasy XIV on the Ultros server. Ultros is also home of the memeGAF'D. Unlike all regular free companies, not only NeoGAF plays this boring game together as Gather Against Fate but they take their unholy disease that is social justice and spread it around the world of Eorzea. And if you think they still describe themselves as the nexus of hardcore gamers social justice warriors kicking players out of their safe space for different opinions they get triggered over, then you sir are correct. Other FFXIV players not from the virtual hivemind clearly describes GAF as not only a bunch of social justice cucks, but also assholes, smugs, white knights, malefeminists, privilege checkers, and two of the main ingredients of it all...SHITTERS AND EROTIC ROLE PLAYERS!
With the death of NeoGAF, Gather Against Fate become a ResetERA guild known as ERA. It still doesn't change the fact that ERA is still both Gather Against Fate and ResetERA. Except ResetERA is a shittier NeoGAF 2.0 community for pedos, manbabies, social justice warriors, and other mentally sick fucks that retreated from the corpses of NeoGAF.
Did You Know: Maple 'Ookie' Cookie the creator of GAF has left FFXIV and his free company behind because he's TRIGGERED and knows GAF has a bad reputation!
Ever since their NeoGAF lord Tyler Malka is accused by women for rape and sexual assaults he has done in late October of 2017, the safe space and social justice kingdom NeoGAF has crumbled into flames along with the members and mods burning in panic. And nothing of value was lost.
Meanwhile at Final Fantasy XIV, NeoGAF's free company Gather Against Fate has heard the news and went apeshit. What did they do to avoid more humiliation and being trolled by non-GAF members? They change their tag from GAF to GOLD in order to be in disguise of a different free company, but keeping the name Gather Against Fate. Fortunately nobody's a dumbass to fall for their disguise.
Now that NeoGAF has fallen and better off burned to ashes and dust, the current GAF leader Drama "The Drama He-Queen" Zeni has a difficult time changing their guild name so they don't want the players to think they're from NeoGAF. Then he has the most brilliant idea he ever came up with. He decided to move to ResetERA and turn the NeoGAF guild into a ResetERA guild for ResetERA members only. Yes, ResetERA. Also known as NeoGAF 2.0. Where the pedos and manbabies and social justice warriors and the rest of the mentally fucked up triggered snowflakes retreated from the rotting corpse of NeoGAF and created their new home ResetERA. The fact that the players are still not that stupid to fall for their name change when they're stuck with the permanent name GATHER AGAINST FATE. No matter how many times they change the name, they'll always be trolled with GAF'D memes because making fun of their stupidity is always lulzworthy.
GAF'D
What is the word GAF'D? And why the fuck do we need to know? Is GAF'D a made up word by NeoGAF? By going deeper through research the answer is this: GAF'D is an inside joke and next FFXIV meme by everyone not from GAF that is literally mocking, trolling, and blaming Gather Against Fate for being shit and shit-terrible. Now most of the time people would shout GAF'D just for the good ol' lulz.
It begin back in a certain patch update in Final Fantasy XIV where elite hunts are available for everyone. All GAF members would greedily jew-pull every elite hunt early without everyone getting a chance. It's no mystery Maple 'Ookie' Cookie the creator of GAF is proud of it to make Final Fantasy XIV even more shittier than the game currently is. GAF has a tendency to be early elite hunt pullers and floor kissers which is why the meme GAF'D is created and officially making GAF the laughing stock from Ultros. And professional shitters.

Yup, played on Ultros for the first year of the games launch before transferring to Gilgamesh. GAF'D meme was born from hunts. Those obnoxious cunts would just pull aggro on any mob while others were waiting for more to join in order to get credit. Thus, you were "GAF'D". It does piss off GAF members from NeoGAF, since the reputation they had in the server was due to that.
GAF were like the violent, uncivilized niggers during Hurricane Katrina while other guilds were like the Japs during the 2011 tsunamis, orderly and respectful. I also trolled by early pulling a lot when near them and then shouted "GAF'D!". It was fucking hilarious.

Other GAF actions include:
Screwing up on purpose and blaming other party members in Party Finder or Duty Finder.
Commonly outright leaving parties after one wipe including learning groups.
Joining FATE parties to leech experience points by doing nothing but sitting their fatasses down stuffing their faces with Doritos and Mountain Dew.
Joining elite hunt parties to pull early without waiting and leaves after they get a clear.
Erotic role-playing with different types of fetishes in public.
Not giving a shit to anyone or anybody outside of GAF.
The bottom line is this. Players on Ultros likes to shout GAF'D in trolling NeoGAF for not only their numerous failures, but for the lulz too...and GAF hates the lulz.
Ever since The Hunt was introduced in patch 2.3, many players have started to single out our FC for various reasons. We were at one time, and might possibly still be, the largest and most powerful FC on the server. We are also a fairly exclusive Free Company as we only accept NeoGAF members and their associates. This unfortunately garners a lot of hate and jealously. People really want to besmirch our name. Most of what you hear about us is completely false. As for our own members, the drama you see people taking about in this thread is blown completely out of proportion and often interpreted incorrectly. People like to joke around a lot but those that are not privy to what is actually happening might take those comments the wrong way.

In the early days of hunts, GAF got a reputation--which I believe to be mostly unearned, but I wasn't there--of pulling monsters for hunts before everyone arrived to horde all the rewards for themselves. This got compounded by GAF being GAF and joking in /shout about "dammit GAF" whenever somebody (not us) pulled early. People pull early all the time now, and we get blamed.
Hunts being srs biz, GAF is now sort of a whipping boy for bad behavior. It's stupid, ignore it, most people don't care, but some people will be dicks about it because this is the internet.
GAF is the largest and most powerful FC on Ultros (and 5th in the overall FC rankings), and it's fairly exclusive; to join the FC you have to join the forums. It was inevitable many would come to hate it. GAF is the FC equivalent of the Garlean Empire.

The GAF guild has become a scapegoat of epic proportions. Some guilds even do nasty things and then accuse GAF. It's sad that GAf has become synonimous to all the nasty things that happens in MMOs in such a short time. I went on ultros because Gaf was there but i didn't join Gaf because i had plans with enough people to get by and enjoy the game. My friends and i each in different guilds ( and we party for dongeons and FATES ) are relaying to me the same thing..it's genuinely sad

I was banned from NeoGAF too. It was in the MMO game Final Fantasy XIV at the server Ultros. NeoGAF has a free company guild called Gather Against Fate. GAF for short. Original huh? They were being social justice warriors and anti-GamerGaters. I was being polite and neutral about their conversation. And guess what happen? I was trash talked and BOOM! BANNED! They banned me for not agreeing with NeoGAF and marking me as a GamerGate terrorist. I wish I can screenshot the conversation. Unfortunately I didn't. That's not all. They continue to act like assholes to me and say that I suck at this game and to GTFO of Ultros. Look who's talking GAF? I'm not the one who keeps wiping at parties and blaming other people. I'm not the one who impatiently pull elite hunts and people shout "GAF'D" all the time for your stupidity while waiting for others to get a chance. I'm glad GAF is Ultros's laughing stock. I'm glad GAF'D is a new meme by non-GAF players.
Yes NeoGAF is indeed the worst.

I top something in the world and our black mage left our static. Got a summoner from GAF. His DPS is trash and he only ever uses Ifrit. Gets mad at us for his trashy DPS and leaves group.
Yep. GAF's finest hard at work.

I am aware of GAF. Hunting on Ultros is complete garbage. Marks are killed within only a few minutes of being announced, usually because some shitter from GAF gets too close. But it only gets worse with every following mark. I went there because of the Ultrosposting that was a thing on /v/, now I'm just there for the FC and because I'd know no alternative. But I do want GAF to leave.
Eve Malqir was in a ERP linkshell and sadly tried ERPing with me but I declined him. I thought about taking screenshots but I never did. This behavior commonly coming from GAF is nothing screenshot worthy.
„
—Probably for the best.

GAF is so cancerous and their faggotry so prolific that if bad shit happens in a group because of they/them/their members all you have to say is 'GAF'd' and everyone understands immediately. What a shit group.

The best part about playing on Ultros with GAF is /spitting on them whenever you see them.
„
—I clearly remember GAF leaving a sour taste in people's mouths back when Hunts were first released and they swarmed every fucking hunt that spawned without ever waiting or being considerate of anyone else. "GAF'D" was a common battlecry across zone shout to indicate that, rather than waiting for the established pull time that everyone else in the zone agreed to wait on like civilized individuals, a group of Gaffers decided to be fucking cunts instead.
This continued on for months, years, and Hunts were ruined for people for quite a while thanks to GAF being impatient fucksticks. Which is probably why there's a higher concentration of Ultros vets that can't stand them. They'll be forever known as "Those faggots that kept ruining my fun", even if this doesn't happen anymore because nobody gives a fuck about hunts.

I'm on Ultros and I'm not in ZR, but none of the ZR people I run into seem that bad. Just the occasional ZR player with a meme name wearing the pig suit or something. GAF frequently early pulls hunts and generally is shit at the game.
„
—True story.
“
Yeah, what was left is in STORM which is the personal FC of a guy from Super Best Friends and not a SJW FC like GAF or FORCE. The GAF blaming now is from ZR.
ResetERA is where all the hardcore SJW faggots (the worst part about NeoFAG) went after that whole bullshit happened last year. It's a board with the worst of the worst.
