The Devs should hire players to test/give Job feedback

[Memoir]

I love how people like the OP always states this game has made a ton of money like they work for SE and have seen the financials. No one knows how profitable this game is unless you are on the inside at SE. Also, testing is only as good as the people testing it and reporting issues. What you will find a lot of times is people not reporting everything and if someone finds something that they can exploit, they will not report it and use it to their advantage when the game goes live.

following extraordinary loss in the financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.

...

I just want to point that part out because sometimes a business "cuts back" to avoid further impairment, and this is reflected in other businesses units being being told to scale back.

In the area of massively multiplayer online role playing games, revenues from operation has been showing steady
performance while net sales and operating income declined significantly compared to the prior fiscal year mainly due
to the absence of expansion disk releases during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.
