    Thank you Nyalia, Canadane & Rubicon for the constructive posts
    I'll look deeper into these posts.
    I'm still trying to figure out the way FF14 staff communicates and these are great leads. Cheers.

    EDIT: and thanks to everyone who posted in between. If you read my first post, I'm trying to have a discussion, I just don't like it when people are obnoxious like this guy with "if ... then I insult you"
    And no hard feelings to Nyalia, indeed I was tempted to answer the begining of your post but you wrote a quite interesting answer so i'll just "shut up".

    Keep in mind that this is a Japaneses based company, so don't expect direct one on one contact with the dev team on the English forums.

    Aside from that, I find this game gets much more feedback to and from the players compared to the majority of MMO's out there. Even Blizzard tends to go dark for up to 6 months while they push for getting another expansion planned out. Riot games does in fact give and take a lot of feedback but it's often in the worst way possible. They cause more fires then they put out in the big patches and most minor patches is just fixing what they ruined already. You can't give them credit for listening to the players when the issues being fixed is the very things they break to begin with.

    Always remember the Silver Rule:
    "Treat others as they treat you!" ...or something like that.

    I always felt that Yoshi-P took player feedback into consideration much more than many other directors.

    So all in all, mostly everyone is statisfied with the way SE communicates here

    By the way, do you have any idea of the number of players per platform? I mean how many players are there per region?

    Not as far as I can see. Well, not unless a mod decides, at their discretion, that my post was inappropriate (they have a discretionary clause in the Forum Guidelines). I'm not impersonating a mod or SE employee. Here are the guidelines, if you are unfamiliar with them: http://support.na.square-enix.com/ru...la=1&tag=forum

    If I was claiming to be a mod, then there'd be a problem. The Forum Guidelines themselves don't explicitly state you can't pretend to be a mod, but in the Terms of Service, the following is prohibited:

    Both of our posts are getting a little off topic though, and off topic posting is explicitly against the Forum Guidelines. So, if you want to continue this discussion, we should move this to a new topic in the forum website discussion section of the forums.

    Without getting involved in the back-and-forth flaming...

    I will note that these forums are very sterile compared to other games, even some other MMOs, where you can actually have conversations with the devs/reps.

    Here, you start a thread, and if enough time passes, maybe you'll get a single post that feels like a press release almost. I'd bet less than 1 in 100 threads get even this, and followup questions and so forth from the community most often go entirely unanswered/ignored.

    It's still miles ahead of where Squeenix used to be, at least.

    I also feel like they're a bit more responsive over on the FFXI forums, even if it's to say "we have no plans to do that" a lot of the time.

    This is the result I get for a search in the DPS forum for a Dev reaction, where people often ask for a reaction about jobs, game design and such.

    So... 10 answers since... "08-22-2013 11:53 AM", that is to say 10 answers in 17 months.
    Among these, 5 answers were written in 2014.

    These were some facts.
    Now, comes my opinion: devs don't communicate enough with us.

    You're looking for specifics that you wanted commented on. My opinion: They can do more but they're not shying away from it either. All companies don't communicate enough.
    I searched English Forums with Dev Tracker and got 456 results since August 24 2014

    Your opinion is essentially...

    "I feel they don't respond to us enough, regarding DPS job issues"

    Communication as a whole, across the forum, is a lot better than many other places.

    In my opinion mods are obligated to take our feedback and report it to the devs, not respond to childish threads like this. All you're doing in this thread is trying to make them look bad. There have been a number of changes that have occurred after threads in general discussion got a lot of traction/support from the community. On the flip side, they don't make every change we want because of opposing views both in their vision and in the community. They don't post about every single change on the forum and I don't think they should have to.

    The head developer in this game releases letters, live streams, goes to a ton of events and shares as much information as possible without completely pissing off SE's public relations team. In addition to that mods here respond fairly often in a serious manner that has clearly been analyzed prior to posting. They are trying to avoid putting their foot in their mouth or causing unrest on the forums.

    All in all you're entitled to your opinion but in my opinion they are doing a great job communicating with us. Comparing them to league of legends is just laughable.
