I just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work you guys put in. I find myself logging onto these forums less and less because of the constant flow of complaining, whining, trolling, and overall bad attitudes of a good chunk of the people on here. I am sure what you guys are doing is, for the most part, a thankless job. People complain when they don't get updates and then they do when the game is updated. People ask questions and then complain when they get answered in a way they don't like. You guys get asked to read the same threads over and over and over again because people don't take the time to look for the previous 10 threads dealing with the same topic. I just wanted to say thanks to all you guys who deal with it everyday. There are some of us to let you all know that there are still some of us out here who appreciate what you do and, even if we don't like the answers we get, will continue to show you guys the respect you deserve. Thanks again.

I kind of wish Bayohne spent a bit more time here than in the xiv forums, out of all the mods he seems like the one that deals with the sarcasm and generally all around sour moods the best.

What if it slipped a day? You'd want my head!
"What is a Bayohne? A miserable little pile of secrets!"

His responses always crack me up.

I extend my thanks to the devs as well because god knows they have to deal with a lot of insanity.

Don't you think we WISH we could be Bayohne!? Everyday I curse myself that I'm not! But we can't, we just can't, and we never will be!!!

Hey guys, what's goin' on in this thread? lol

But seriously, thanks for the kind words. We're a pretty tight-knit team here on the Community...Team. Don't forget, it's not just the Community Team working hard, but also the Development & Operations Teams that specifically set aside time in their busy day to try and address your questions/concerns/comments. We appreciate you guys keeping the forums active with your questions and discussions (maybe not so much the trolling), and as long as you guys are here, we'll keep striving to bridge the gap between players and the devs.

That's why I included you all!! Two thumbs way up to all that the whole team does!

I understand your concern and I'm sure in the eyes of a lot of fellow players I am viewed as those complaining and whining. However I hope everyone realizes when these forums were established it has become an official portal for communication so players to inquire issues and concerns as well as share ideas with the developers. They should be ready to accept both positive and negative feedback as that is what you get as a result of open communication.

The day that the relic and mythic adjustments thread got a response in March I was so excited that someone is listening and something will be done. However 3 months have passed. From the time of announcement to 5/9/2011 you can imagine adjustments should not take this long if it is just simple damage output, but it did not happen.

Lets talk about the facts here-
The atma listing update was addressed before 5/9 and got proper status announcements when it was not completed by 5/9. i'm happy with that update, but it does not alleviate my concern on what was done as far as relation to relic and mythic adjustments? A buff to aegis and burtgang with no further explanation on other plans or status on what is left.

Many argue that "it's still being worked on", however have we been even told that? no.

Many also argue "its simply by fact it is not priority", well have we been told that? no and if so, when can we expect implementation?

Recently a fellow poster responded to a thread answered by a developer requesting to give attention to his thread which they did answer. I did the same thing, what did I get? not the same common courtesy.

So like Jack, I want to give community reps and development team members the same respect however after constant ignoring of inquiries how can you expect a smile out of the customer? At this point I have no disrespect, but surely my respect can be much greater if inquiries are give proper responses in a customer service courteous manner.

By the way, wowzers on 2 responses in one thread.
