    I believe expecting anyone to bring light to issues that a company doesn't want to address, at an event that is completely controlled by said company, including interviews (which are scheduled and coordinated according to the needs and desires of the company), is expecting too much. Furthermore, an influencer's "job" is to influence the general population; Squeen knew what they were doing when they brought in the people they brought in, and they used their resources accordingly.
    Considering, also, that those influencers would likely want to return to future events and have the special treatment that come with having an invitation, they're not going to rock the boat.

    Therefore, I wouldn't expect the Media Tour to be anything other than a highly publicized circle jerk in Squeen's honor.

    I totally agree with you. the sad truth is that the media tours are always bound to be circle jerks and hugboxes filled with influencers kissing up so they dont lose their privilege. I think it might be time for us average players to take this matter into our own hands though. we have to start getting the word out there, even if it gets drowned out by the naysayers, or else we'll end up with no dedicated healer and tank devs, more homogenisation, and further disconnect between staff and players for the next expac, hell maybe even future expacs too.

    I don't want this game to go that route. I think STB was so close to being the perfect version of the game. the jobs just needed a few tweaks for balance, and they just took it too far. had square enix just hired one dedicated dev for tank and healer jobs, this might not have happened
