without a CM, it is unlikely anything posted here will go.. anywhere.

developers are unlikely to have the bandwidth to just peruse the english forums, and thats fine... because it isnt their job (I doubt many even look at the JP forums either). thats the job of the largely silent (if one even exits) Community Manager. could that be because of the general attitude here? maybe. but that is what they are hired to do. pass along player issues and concerns. the NA forums seems to be mostly people that complain about all aspects of the game however, and if something gets changed that they wanted, they then complain it wasnt REALLY what they wanted, it should have been this. so, listening to the NA forums seems to be mostly a lesson in futility

(yes, I believe the game has issues, I dont think its perfect, but, I dont see how making the NA forums "heard more" according to the OP will actually make the game... better)
