...o/ \o....
Honest question and not trying to be rude, does SE read our forums on mostly on the JP? Asking because we haven't seem to have gotten any reply here or..in general for a long time, unless I am blind, of course.
Infequent replies != not reading. There is a community rep and they do read the forums (I know them) and they do pass things they notice along. But any question or statement you might make, they have to translate it (while also preserving context/nuance), someone in their offices has to decide if they're able to answer it and post a reply and exactly what they'll say, then translate it back, because the dev team is Japanese and they all speak Japanese. They tend to interact more on the JP side because it's easier for them to do so, not because they like us less or anything like that.
A few months ago they hosted an AMA for Western players and they answered various questions, and in fact that's where this thread comes from, they told us to let our feelings be known here, and combined with any JP discussion there might be, they may evaluate whether this is worth doing based on the apparent demand. The difficulty is very few players, particularly on the NA side, use these forums, so they won't get a big sample size.
The way they operate sadly is if they decide to do something they just work on it without saying anything, the first you know they decided to add it is a week before the patch hits.
They have been burned in the past so many times, where saying something turns into "YOU PROMISED ME!" so they don't "promise" anything.
They do read the forums, they just don't respond.
