Is there a community management team?

[Aravell]

So, what happens when your post gets a tick mark and nothing happens after that? Are you still going to complain they don't listen to anyone on the forums if they don't act on your complaint/suggestion? Or will that little bit of effort appease you?

The tick would show that a community manager that reads through forum threads does actually exist, so people can be certain that they're not yelling into a void. And so what if they don't act on suggestions immediately? Most people understand things don't happen instantly. Nothing's stopping people from continuing to give their feedback. Remember that Yoshi P once said it wasn't possible to make the game display damage types, years later, we got damage types display.

The point is to show the players that the official forums actually has any official presence. You may be fine with the forums being full of trolls and doomposting every other day, but I'd rather see the forums be the place for feedback that Yoshi P claims it as.

"With the 10th anniversary of FFXIV's rebirth behind us, we are taking the first determined step towards our next ten years of service. We've been accompanied on this epic journey by Warriors of Light from across the globe, and we intend to maintain that partnership by placing an even greater value on communication as we expand the world of FFXIV."

I imagine that means more one directional communication, in where they tell us what they are planning (like live letters), and not by means of some sort of bi-directional or confirmation of feedback being read, received, or even recognized. I would be okay being wrong though lol.

I'll believe it when I see it, as far as any of us know it could just be Yoshida promising to listen to JP more than he already does, since that's the way they normally operate. And that does a whole lot of nothing for NA players who feel unheard.

Considering that YoshiP logged into the JP servers and did an impromptu Q&A for JP players, that does seem to be the case.

he doesn't go around walking around NA/EU servers because of his lack of english skills.

He's done it plenty of times.

WoW's community council was PR stunt

I have crazy idea: show, don't tell.

If only they had higher up employees who did speak English, who could either do it themselves or act as a translator. Crazy thoughts.
