There is no relationship on this forum between the player base and the developers, other than both players and developers of the game exist.

The forums are a place for official announcements (you know, in that section marked INFORMATION in the English forums), technical support (in that section marked TECHNICAL SUPPORT in the English forums), bug reports (in that section marked BUG REPORTS in the English forums), letters from the producer (in that section ... yada yada).

It is also a place for players to discuss the game with other players. The "sticky post" for this part of the forum (and most of the other non-SE sections) reads "The purpose of this forum is for players to discuss various topics on FINAL FANTASY XIV with other players." Likewise, the Lore section sticky reads "The purpose of this forum is for players to discuss various topics on the lore of Eorzea with other players."

None of these sections is billed as a place for players to communicate directly with the developers. Nor is there a promise, implied or otherwise, that developers or other SE personnel will read the posts for anything except determining if things are civil and in-bounds. They appear to look at reports about particular thread posts and act accordingly, hence threads or posts or posters disappearing.

Now that this is out of the way, have a pleasant day.
