    Because God knows, posters on the Final Fantasy XIV Official English Forums would *never* want to come across as "pushy" or "arrogant."

    I mean, yeah. We're definitely ruder over here. I don't get what kind of gotcha you think you're throwing out here...

    Because we also know that methodology doesn't fly over in JP. If we show up with poorly translated, poorly articulated arguments... The pushback for 'rudeness' will kill the movement over there before it begins.

    I gave AST a shot, and it's still miserable to play, even to think about. Worst iteration by far. Praying for 8.0, I guess...

    Actually, I apologize for this post. I was a bit irritated by the accusations of trolling and lashed out. I appreciate the difficulties you address in the latter half of your post, but I still think the potential benefit is more than worth the risk if possibly offending a few Japanese posters.

    Why are you being so antagonistic? Either offer support or don't. People have tried in the past to get in touch with JP forums. I particularly don't want to use AI to translate something that could be misconstrued. I've heard the JP community would rather EN people reach out to a JP user that'd be able to help with translation. But, it's not so easy getting hold of someone that's a bilingual healer main, willing to translate thousands of words. Well, I don't know anyone that fits that criteria, so the next best thing is to show support for eachother, to make it clear that none one of us feel alone in our frustrations. It doesn't help when other players come along, who either don't play or care about healer, and question our motives and methods.

    Not attacking, but, it's just frustrating when we're facing dismissal from the devs, and also from fellow Warriors of Light.
