"We will look into it".

Again today we get "We will look into it."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....kaayyyyyyyyyy.

Why bother posting that devs? To me that sounds like, 'yeah, whatever'.

Of course you're gonna look into it, that's not what we want to hear.

Bad PR, bad marketing. You're hanging yourselves guys. Come on!

We know you have stuff in the works. You're better just being quiet than saying stuff like this.

Not trolling peeps, please don't think that. It's just bizarre to think that this is good PR. These posts are making it worse.

How about changing the position of mobs and movement in battle?

We will look into it.

How about making the game into a game:

We will look into it.

How about turning all Mobs into giant pink mice with fairly lights attached to their nipples?

We will, what? Oh , we will pass it on and they'll look into it...

You're right. They should fully explain every inane question thrown at them whenever we feel like bugging them, regardless of what they have planned, what it might give away, and whether or not it will even be relevant or possible after they implement what they're already working on. That should help them move along faster. Sounds pretty efficient.

"Well look into it." is a lot more promising than FFXI's "....." ever was. It's certainly a lot better than what I'd have said to the community:

"Look, we're like, quarter of the way trudging through the last 500 issues you wanted us to look at. When we get there, we'll start worrying about this batch. Pick your priorities, already!"

There are two sides to that coin. "We'll look into it" IS a lame answer, but would you rather they just not answer at all until they have specifics? Frankly I would rather they say "Yes, we're aware of the problem and are trying to fix it"(IE: we'll look into it), then them saying nothing at all.

Because if they hadn't said anything, someone else would've made a thread complaining about the lack of response.

There was a bit of obfuscation with this kind of wording, they did confirm quite a bit of other things though.

It was also a translation, not sure how well it is recieved in Japanese. What I take from this is really how hard working and awesome our community reps are. I know a few of my concerns that I had posted were listed among those Q/A items and I noticed one was confirmed to be implemented.

<3 Community reps!

I've said it in a couple other threads. They ought to put up a sticky in the general page with a tally of the players top 10 desired changes, and once a month (in the thread) take all the suggestions and update the list. This way the devs have a way to keep tabs on what we want, and we feel like we are being heard.

If it makes you feel better, there is a whole game in the dats, its just locked at the moment.

"We'll look into it" is a bit vague. The alternative isn't necessarily saying nothing at all.

You could have a different set of vague general answers that more accurately answer a question while still not being classified as specifics. You could say "We are aware that some players think this is an issue but have no plans in the near future to change it as we think it is fine", you could say "We have a team addressing that issue currently and expect a resolution within the next six months (or one year)", or even "We are going to address this problem at an unspecified later date as it is important but not a priority in relation to the issues we are currently addressing".

One of those things say "No", another says "Yes, and working on it now", and yet another says "Yes, but not in the near future".

All those things are vague but not anywhere near as vague as "We'll look into it"

"We will look into it" is FFXIV's version of FFXI's "We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused".
