Thank you so much, I've been eagerly awaiting the "mid-January" Players' Poll since it was announced last year and was quite frustrated when January came and went without any word on it... Thanks again!

Lenghty post reminding people of rules about botting and other cheating.
The interesting part about turbo controllers and macro keyboards:
Usage of keyboards with advanced functionalities is not prohibited. However, using these functionalities to automate some actions is. Being in front of the computer does not make these automations acceptable. Players who use third party softwares, turbo controllers, programmable keyboard buttons or handwork (ex: taping a key) take the risk to have their FFXIV account suspended or closed.
The rest of the post is just saying that the Special Task Force is still active, that investigations can take a lot of time and to call a GM if you have any doubt on the legality of something.
Very well! You can find the Full Translation of the above post here because I thought it was important enough to deserve a thread of it's own to be discussed by the english speaking community.

Yoshida post about vocal chat:
Summary (I'm sure the official translation or Reinhart's will appear soon):
No plan to implement vocal chat in version 2.0.
Many reasons explain this decision (confidentiality, gap between players with mics or not, harassing, requirement to particpate in instanced content, etc ...) and Yoshida prefers to let Linkshells and soon Free Companies deal with this topic themselves.
Thought I'd post about what's going on in the French forums:
French players are not happy about the World Transfer process and isolation, and Youmukon is trying to damage control and organize the negative feedback.

Players will be able to access their private residences from any city, as long as they completed the quest. If they completed the quest chain (this part isn't clear, they used "quest" in the first sentence, but now using "adventure" which could mean multiple quests), access to your residence from the 3 cities will be unlocked. (important info is that we'll be able to access them via the 3 cities anyway)
Also, it won't be possible to invite other players in your residence.
Private inns functionalities

"Just a little message to let you know that other functionalities will be added to private inns before the release of version 2.0. I cannot give you more information, but the inns will be improved before version 2.0 arrives."
