you must be new here... let me show you the only MMO i have ever played that has listen to the player like this one does.
"Try not. Do or do not. There is no try."



Something that might be a nice QoL change for the Forums:
Have a little icon (like the crown for dev responses) where it will indicate "This thread was opened by a dev"
You know, kinda like how when we click on a link the words go from bold to normal?
Am I making any sense?


SE is a company. A large company.
See, there's a thing called "PR" or "Public Relations" They have to be VERY careful what they can say. Ever worked on a group project? It's kind of like that. For EVERYTHING.
Hell the legal department at a given company will STRONGLY advise and sometimes even force employees to not say anything.
For example, Yoshida once made comments on how he wanted or how they were working on housing way way back when 2.0 was a new thing.
Since it didn't end up working out that way, players have been royally miffed.
Every post from development and the community managers has to be "official," otherwise you get a repeat of that incident. They seriously cannot comment on anything that isn't either happening right now (a known bug or exploit, or online store problems) or will be happening within the next week with no possibility of changes happening(panels, big patch releases within the next week, etc.)
For example, they CANNOT directly comment on certain ideas, nor can they even say they're "taking them into consideration" unless they get approval from like 5 different departments first (community, development, corporate, legal, marketing, and yoshi himself)
Actually I wish we just had the option to click that crown and be taken directly to the dev post rather than having to slog through 8 pages of people complaining.Something that might be a nice QoL change for the Forums:

This actually Indy entirely true. A lot of the lore and scripts are done in English first, then localized into the other three supporters languages after. If you check out the Lioe forums, Fernehalwes has made a number of posts explaining the processes they go through.
While most of the mechanical and technical aspects of the game are Japanese developed, the game has a touch of flavour from across the seas!

Please don't feed the trolls, guyz.
I read the first page of this thread. It seems to go like this:
OP: SE reps never respond! SE reps never listen to players! SE doesn't care about playerbase!
Someone disagrees with OP.
OP: IMMA TELL SE ON YOU!
/logic.

1st post edited, thanks everyone for sharing your opinion with me, this was enlightening.
I appreciated all the love I got too![]()

Talk about a nightmare, incoming threads about how a dev "read my suggestion but completely ignored it, guess they don't care about us" These reps can't read all suggestions and formulate a reply that match what the Japansee developers are thinking to the countless issues here, most of which are rediculous complaints that would just waste their time. I feel they respond to the important stuff pretty adequately. Need to have realistic expectations for them since everything they say will be scrutinized heavily.Something that might be a nice QoL change for the Forums:

lol thnks for the laugh :P

What I find funny is that this exact complaint can be found on every gaming forum for every game I've ever played.
The two games that I've played where the devs sat on the forums listening to the vocal minority were trashed in no time. They both went away fast. This is because the minority who are complaining are never the ones who know what's actually best. The game designers who got us all hooked are the ones who know what's best.
i just want to know in what other industry is this an expectation? Do you do this when you go to stores or out to eat? Do you do it after watching a movie? Why do people in gaming demand that a developer talk to them and make changes to their product based on what you say?
