I guess it's time

5. Umm.. what? The devs have live letters every month telling us what's coming in future patches. That, by definition, is communication. The community team does an awesome job getting concerns, feedback and ideas through. But not all ideas on the forums here are good ideas. I don't envy their job of having to sort through it all. Yoshi P has mentioned several times that they monitor the forums and look for feedback.

They do a lot of communication this way for sure, but the communication from devs to playerbase seems to pale in comparison to other games I've played. Here, I find most hot topics are largely ignored, or if they do address them they give a sort-of 1-off answer. Whereas in WoW, Wildstar, Guild Wars 2 etc., the devs will actively discuss these topics with the players. I have a feeling a large part of it is due to the language difference / this being from a Japanese developer.

They do communicate with us but in terms of the english audience they only seem to care what Balmung wants. :P :l
