Lets address the other elephant in the room...NA forum Dev engangement

I really wish y'all stopped seeing a gaming company as "Yoshi-P, Soken and their dozen overworked friends". Drop that paternalistic vision, we're talking about one of the biggest MMOs in the marketing, made by one of the biggest gaming companies in the history. Have you never ever participated in other forums of other MMOs? Or seen the concept of community staff members, people that actually moderate threads or have the function of making this bridge of communication? Even private server of dying MMOs have these. Even weird korean mmos have official discords, for example, with a staff that speaks english and help troubleshooting general stuff.

At this point I can only feel like most people never ever interacted in other games forums. Because it's either this or they simply truly believe in the fairy tale of FFXIV being made by half a dozen people from an indie company. And even on that case, most indie companies actually have great channels of communication for their games through reddit/discord.
