Should SE be a little more transparent?

[Betelgeuzah]

I mean when you say it like that yeah, I totally forgot about the unimplemented crap. I just mean the public companies lets say, the quests give us a little history behind them, but I'd just like a little more information on how the public companies work, if they don't have the information I'm cool with "we're going over ideas", I guess I'd just like some info, but lately they've been planning things around this battle adjustment, and its kinda giving me an idea of a timeline and I feel a little safer. I'll never delete my character, and I won't give up on this game, but some people aren't like that, they're gonna need to feel like its safe to go back to XIV eventually without fear of absolute boredom. I'd like to see servers repopulate again, stuff like that. A teensy bit more transparency gives people hope.

I know what you're saying, but I think in the end the results are what matter. The wait sucks but if the results are good, it will make up for the wait, and if the results are bad, being more transparent won't fix the situation, it may even be detrimental to the situation as in my previous example.

The only thing in that list which tells me anything about how combat will wok is the addition of auto-attack, and that's not exactly a huge starting point for discussion, and one already beaten to death anyway.

Well, if you are using your own definition of what "combat" is I don't think SE is entitled to answer that. Claiming system is quite obviously a part of the combat system. Everything in that list is, although few things relate more to the content rather than the system changes.
