Would it be asking too much to have the Devs posted atleast once a day?

So you wouldn't have a problem with a cop impounding your car for a week, instead of just giving you a ticket for not paying a parking meter in time?

Glad to see you ignored 2/3 of the post.

Devs posting here is difficult. The JP forums usually have a better response frequency, but for good reason. SE is a Japanese company. Information gathering is much simpler/faster when you're closer to the source. The folks here have to get their info from the source, which goes through more steps... particularly the language barrier.

Besides, SE isn't exactly well-known for having a good customer support division. Unless you have a warped sense of "good" to mean something that lacks positive notions.

I think the community reps already post as often as they are allowed to about certain topics. After all, they can only give out the information they've been provided by the dev team.

I think the tone of the OP is not off base though. I think communication from the dev team has fallen off dramatically from where we were at since Yoshi took over 1.0 and through Alpha/Beta. Letters from the Producer are much slower coming in. If you look at the official Dev Blog, we had something like 16 blog posts in July, 17 in August, 9 in September then 3 in October and only 1 so far in November.

We used to get these great, detailed tables from Yoshi in his letters listing all the planned adjustments, balancing, and content additions. It's sad really, because the first letter from Yoshi and Wada after the change in the dev team apologized so much for the lack of communication with the players. Seems like they are heading down that same road again.

Because blocking your access to a video game forum is the EXACT same as impounding the thing that gives you the ability to travel, work, get food, visit friends... -_-

Dev tracker. It's your friend.

If you're *****ing about not having your thread responded to, being responded to personally, or not having your issue responded to... then send a ticket in. You're just acting entitled and throwing a tantrum.

Yes, it's the EXACT same thing as the punishment not fitting the crime.

This is just showing the move from development to release to running the game. It's about hype more than useful information.

Your example flawed. A parking meter expiring is an accidental thing. Your signature was an obvious use of language that is known to be vulgar. A better example would be knowingly parking in a reserved spot and getting towed. Both you are knowingly violating a rue and both receiving fair punishment.

Devs post about 2-3 times a day Monday-Friday. Let them have their weekends.

Quoted for truth. FFXIV:ARR boasts one of the most friendly, active, and supportive development teams in the realm of triple a MMOs. They are constantly replying to our threads on the forums.

A child thought he was sounding grown up and cool by using a provocative word, got his hand slapped for it and started crying. He refused to learn his lesson and instead thinks that the authority that told him not to be a child in a teen+ community is akin to corrupted police force. And people fall over themselves to apologize to the child? No, he needs to grow up and realize that if he doesn't want to act like an adult, he's going to have to stick to kid-friendly (where that word still wouldn't be allowed) sites. This has nothing to do with cars or police brutality and more to do with 'was taking away the Xbox too serious of a punishment for little Timmy?'

I think I got lost in your analogy, somewhere along the line there, my friend.

Either way, I'm more than fine with radio silence if it means the devs are concentrating more on working on the content we're all waiting for. I'm guessing that since things are a bit turbulent as far as content, community, and issues are concerned, would be why no one's saying anything. More people are complaining. The moment a dev posts anything, there's a barrage of players there to complain about it no matter what it is. So, I figure they're just keeping their heads down and working through it. The atmosphere isn't a happy one at the moment, I'm sure everyone realizes this to some degree or another.
