This Q&A actually really annoyed me. I'd rather them not say anything.

i much prefer the info they gave to nothing, once again

What info are you specifically looking for regarding battle?

I liked it, personally.

Players: "We want more information! We want responses from the Development Team!"

Community Team: "Here is some more information and responses we got from the Development Team."

Players: "These responses are not the responses we want! Don't bother giving us answers when we ask for them!"

Community Team: "Um ... OK. We'll be shutting down the FFXIV Forums Beta I guess. Can't say we didn't try. Thanks for testing it out!"

Just a little upsetting that we are shown questions that we asked as soon as the forum came out. Why it's annoying is somewhere there was a statement about there being more than one team, while the general focus is the battle system other teams are supposed to be working on other things.

"Raise has no visual effect, so sometimes other characters and I cast overlapping raise spells.
We are looking into this."

Like this as an example. So we are now being told this is, just now, being looked into!? What happened to the other part of the team that were doing other things besides battle?

We "Are" looking into this means: They are Testing/planning
We "will" look into this: It may or may not occur, but the suggestion was still taken into consideration

Though they were repeatable answers, they did answer the questions accurately at least in my eyes it was

There is a difference between saying "Are" and "will"

All I am saying is if they don't have the answer, or can't give it. Then why bother saying anything at all. It's just going to annoy people more.

To me it's like this. Would you're boss tell you, you're fired during work or after work? If he tells during work, why stay, you might as well leave your fired anyway. Or Wait till the last second so you can't make a scene in front of people?

Not a good analogy though, but i see your point.

The fact of the matter is that people want to see some sort of acknowledgment, whether the answer is short and simple or they actually have enough info to provide.

Its more about the acknowledgment when it comes to the Reps <-> Dev Team relationship. If the Dev team had more to say about certain things, I'm sure they would have told us.

They did have an answer. "We will/are looking into it" is an acknowledgement of the question.

They're either currently working on a fix, or will do so in the future.
