Are the developers of XIV out of touch?

I'm more upset the same questions are asked every single time, when we all know what the answers will be.

I think Q&A's would be more productive for all parties if other questions would be asked other than the usual.

There were over 30 pages worth of questions. The first 20 pages are mostly non-repeated (people did a decent job of checking to see if someone else submitted it) and there were many new questions. I myself had about 10 questions (beast tribe, character config, command mission, leves as gil sink, and others). I urge you to check out the thread and see that the community did come up with a variety of unique questions - and yes a lot of them are just as highly rated, or close enough, as the ones that were picked.

If it's the same questions, it's because SE chose to do that. They could have filtered out the ones asked before, or the ones they didn't like. My guess is that they wanted to give more definitive answers once and for all, as those "same questions" got the most definitive answers we ever got (such as Ishgard housing not getting a "we'll see", but getting a "if we add more housing, it'll be Ishgard"), in the hopes that the next LL - especially the fanfest ones - will not have them asked again. Or maybe they chose them because they didn't want to reveal too much of anything new - once again to save more for fanfest in November - and having a PLL during E3 was just a PR stunt for the new merch.

Oh I know, I saw the thread. I just wish they'd go through and actually ask some of the more uncommon questions...

I get its easier to ask certain questions for the sake of easy answers, but it leaves a lot to be desired when at least I for one, am sick of seeing the same questions presented often in the forums that we all know the answers too whether we like the answers or not. But alas, it is also from the forums that they get these questions, so I suppose I should just always expect it. But then, even i felt for yoshi getting those questions, again....his facepalms were glorious.

But again this is just my opinion of the matter.

his facepalms were glorious.

And all prepared.
He doesnt choose directly the question, but he says to people doing it what kind of question... He just have to say "stop taking all time the same, even if they are the most popular" to have different one... And miracle, they will choose other questions!

If they take all time the same, it is because they are allow to(or more... they have to)

The questions chosen are generally those with most upvote... Simply... just change the way they chose (with "most upvote but we dont already answered in the 12 previous month" for exemple) and finally... we will have some interesting live letters...

There is many questions each time, and some quite... problematic for Yoshida.

But, all questions are choose before the Q&A... the matter is when they have to select which question. They go on those because easy answer, that will disappoint just part of people, and no matter. but other big questions...

SE is smart. SE choose the question they want to answer... lets see the male bunny outfit, we had 3-4 time an answer, saying "will come, they are working on blablabla" to finally have nothing more that what we already had for ladies... But the time to answer this question, is a time not alowed to more serious questions...
