Thats from the JP Forums about Game lag and NO COMMENT FROM MANAGEMENT to them either.

So they are pleading the 5th.. wait what is the equivalent to that in the Japanese government?

It's article 38... If i remember correctly.

So pleading the 38:th I guess?

Well since I can't read Japanese and translators are fairly bad at translating, I have no idea if this actually is a huge issue on JP servers. Especially since it doesn't even have a lot of posts of anyone there having it either. I mean it kind of looks like it after translating it though...it just really doesn't look like it's widespread over there in that thread. I mean there's a five page thread for NA/EU, but just barely one page(at the time)in the Japanese forums.

There is more than just 5 pages about this topic on most threads that deal with this issue.

There are at least 50 different threads about this issue. One has over 140 pages of posts inside it, and on the rest usually make it to at least 5 pages. Its the number 1 issue posted here on these tech forums for the last 2 months.

Well I read somewhere that the forums have literally ONE Mod (Admin) for EACH Language. That means ONE person is responsible for all of the ENGLISH forums (Technical Support, Feedback, Info, EVERYTHING). This is the same for all other linguistic categories of the forum.

It's no wonder we never see a response to anything important around here. You'd think with the abundance of sales this game has had, that they'd hire some more admins, maybe at least 3 admins per region. There's NO WAY ONE INDIVIDUAL CAN MODERATE ALL OF THESE ISSUES.

You can call them out on it, though they'd probably reply with some generic response or even delete your post and send you a warning saying that you're being abusive to the community. I was once reported for calling someone a very common name given to people who waste other peoples' time by posting something that is intended to lead you nowhere or in circles. I'll give you a hint, they hide under bridges and charge travelers a toll lol. Anyways, water under the bridge (lol).

I tried to look for "Moderation" or "Technical Support" openings on their job post system and as you can probably guess, there are ZERO openings so it doesn't even seem like they're TRYING to improve their staff.

LOL?

A simple click on Dev Tracker clearly shows that 'I read somewhere' is untrue.

Don't care much for your tone. Second, just because I read it somewhere doesn't solidify my assumption that it is true. I was speculating on the idea so stop trying to turn this into a personal accusation.

Third, from my experience, up until very recently, Camate was the only Moderator I ever saw posting in the Dev Tracker which you ASSUME I don't look at. If anyone here is making assumptions sir, it is you. Now do us all a favor and behave a little less arrogant please.

Have to also keep in mind this section was meant to be a User Forum... not for reporting issues directly to SE. They have a whole other section for that here, as well as a separate portal dedicated for generating support tickets. Sure, some ideas get passed up the pipe from here eventually, but not often.

Keep in mind the community reps are Mods too. The "1" Mod per language probably refers to the mod who's entire job is to monitor the Tech Support section for each language and filter the posts into the correct sub-forums. As for the lesser amount of posts on the JP forums...that's just the way they are generally. Unlike us here on the English forums they're content if they already see a post about the subject and don't go posting their own identical rant. They are also less likely to start offtopic arguments in said posts that bloat the reply count with irrelevant quoting, bitching and meme tossing.
