Square Enix really doesn’t care about DoH players, do they?

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...-Megathread%29

This thread has been sitting around for months, and yet, no GMs have responded and in recent Live Letters, nothing from this thread was discussed or brought up. Just remove crafting from the game already if you really care so little about it.

Have you checked the Dev Tracker? The last time a member of the Dev Team responded to a community issue on the English Forum was back during the RP Party Finder debacle back in February. The only other comments on the English Forum since then have been Live Letter Digests and announcements for upcoming Question Requests for Live Letters. Pretty clear SE doesn't give a shit about the English side of the Forums.

Any changes to crafting in response to that thread - which was started this expansion - wouldn't be seen until Endwalker. We'll know whether or not they took any of that feedback into account during the November live letter, when they'll be going over the upcoming crafting changes.

I'm not certain why you would expect to see a response in a forum that's only read by a small percentage of the player base, and certain can't understand why you would expect that response to come from GMs, who only provide in-game support to players having issues with bugs, harassment, etc.

The english forum's are the slums.
Nothing that happens here gets noticed.
Even the topic that got noticed in feb got noticed because of pressure on other sites.

Get used to not mattering until you can speak japanese well enough to pass on the "real" part of the forum.
