Look here developer/admin/guy in charge guys.

I was just hoping you could stalk the development team and ask them if they play any FFXI and as which jobs. I'd like to think they play the same game they work on, though I have no clue if they are not allowed to or something.

Just some info for us stalk... I mean fans.

Developers are probably a bit too busy to read every thread like this.

Id hope so, seeing as we have paid forum staff to read the forums and take ideas to the developers.

They likely play WAR, MNK, WHM and possibly NIN. One guy used to play SAM but changed job.

they have a whole server to test things out on. Seems like they would have to play to test.

What...? I am sure they have people specifically for testing. They do not have to test anything themselves. Also, testing is not the same as playing.

Not usually. It's not as fun solving your own puzzle.

I do not think they test much. I do not think they understand thier magic damage formulas. That is the only thing I can think of for the reason making the caster weapons they do ( PW/ZMN staff, and caster damage having no relic/ mythic status weapon)

I think developers who work on smn should have to play one from level 1. The catch is have to do it like the players did. No party in the early levels unless they are main healer, fov followed by campaign (no Abyssea until they are level 75 with Odin). Add in Staff trials in Abyssea unable to farm time or anything other than pearl.

That is kind of why it says admin in the topic as well. Though I never expected to really hook one with a title like that. They always have fancy rules like "Don't reply to any thread unless you've been told what to say by us".

I don't give that much for forum staff doing anything else than delivering their own questions though. I've already encountered it with GMs. Trying to report a bug and all they reply is "Well, I don't think it is a bug". Yea, like I care what middle men think, I want my information transmitted to the end, not cut off at the middle by "opinions".
