I might as well jump into the they do send out surveys and listen group. I got one when I was still on the trial and before EW came out. Heck even when they try to explain the why's and how they're able or not able to do some things some part of the community will and has flipped their collective lids. Anyone remember when we asked for GNB's sounds to be changed and they did so soon after and then "everyone" went all "NO NOT LIKE THAT! WE DIDN'T WANT IT TO BE CHANGED TO THAT! CHANGE IT BACK NOWS!" or the next time we asked for a sound to be changed and Yoshida groaned and basically went "ok, but remember how you reacted last time?" And to no one's surprise people went and flipped their collective lids. So while yes it would be nicer to get more interaction and information, but why should they when the times they do a loud vocal part of the community takes zero seconds to start behaving like spoiled children.
Take a look at this. I've seen some other articles, but this one https://techblog.comsoc.org/2021/12/...nked-by-cable/ lists Canada as significantly lower than the US in terms of download speed, which I would believe- and that's an average. I live in the suburbs of one of Canada's largest cities and I simply cannot get even the speed in that article with the largest telcos, and they will not upgrade the infrastructure in the foreseeable future. Add a ping that is easily around 100 if not more due to where the servers are located, and no, not everyone in has the nice experience as someone in a country with a small physical geography and excellent infrastructure like Japan, OR even people located on the West coast NA.
