Yoshi-P tells PC Gamer that he is "not shocked" by mixed DT reception

[MisterNublet]

I feel YoshiP is off the mark as to why people dislike Wuk Lamat, or maybe it's a PR stunt but the character of Wuk Lamat wouldn't be made better by being more confident

It's the former. Yoshi-P has been completely out of touch with FFXIV and has been for a very long time now. His PR responses just highlights that he's guessing what the issue is without actually looking into any of the feedback or complaints they're receiving.

He was surprised to find out that NA/EU couldn't play certain jobs due to ping related issues. He was surprised that NA was suffering from the same raid designated data center issue (Aether). He told healers to go play Ultimate if they wanted to have any kind of enjoyment when playing their role. When there was a healer shortage in PF, he begged players to play healer instead of addressing or figuring out why.

FFXIV has been stuck in the "You think you do, but you don't" phase for a while now since ShB and EW's MSQ helped mask somewhat the otherwise poor design choices made elsewhere in the game that they're still continuing to ignore player feedback about, but DT's MSQ just made everything stick out even more. On the other end, WoW is looking to put out another strong expansion by listening, talking, and working to their playerbase.
