Zepla: Endwalker is the Worst FFXIV Expansion I have played

A lot of people would like to do the same. Unfortunately doesn't mean they're entitled to. And while I tend to view "streamer privilege" as an overblown meme, it certainly doesn't make her more deserving of said opportunity.

It doesn't make her more deserving, but she definitely has easier access to the man directly due to her popularity. If her concerns are sincere, and she has the chance to voice them, hopefully she does. Streamers in general rely on theatrics, so perhaps this is simply that. But regardless of her intentions, she made some valid points. Points I've been trying to make for a while now, as have others.

Exactly why do you think it's theatrics ? Maybe she is just saying what she feels, she is just saying what she thinks. Some streamers have their mask slip off when they're in private company and behave completely differently, have you heard any such stories about Zepla, never, because she was always like this, she always gets passionate when talking about something she cares about like Ukraine and Russia, this is the same, I wonder if you'll even say this if Zepla was a man, but because she's a woman so many people think she's just acting, no she's not, or do you have evidence you want to share with the class ?

I mean.. by all means, write an e.mail to SE's PR and ask them for an interview with Yoshi. Let us know how that went.

Don't need to. Been in enough online game communities to know that it's rather rare for an individual player to have the devs' ear and to utilize that for the greater good as opposed to their own personal whimsy. It usually takes severe backlash to move mountains, and even then that can be slow. I get some might think we're in "severe backlash" stage and chicken little sub numbers in content lull, but that's ultimately not up to us to decide.

You guys would be better off shooting for a special live letter or even a fan fest Q&A session more focused on curated inquiries. Regardless, some won't like the questions SE chooses to answer or the way they answer them. Mention "cheese sandwich" to anyone who paid decent enough attention to FFXI back in the day and you'd know. Failure to acknowledge certain things can also be viewed as an answer.

I mean, don't get me wrong.. after spending like a decade within the League community in and out, I completely understand your disillusionment. I respect Zepla well enough to hope she'll bring the hard questions up to the table, tough as you say: not much we can do personally.
