It seems a bit ridiculous that the Japanese forums get many more weighty posts giving feedback on certain playerbase concerns, yet so few of them actually reach us.
Wouldn't it be better to have a dev sticky thread set up in a Q&A format where maybe on a weekly basis, the community team could put up the most interesting feedback.
For example, it appears that just today they've received some information concerning auto-attack. With the marvels of google translate it appears they're talking about speeding up auto-attack and also emphasising the staged introduction across various patches. Considering the whining that's gone on already about auto-attack, this kind of stuff would be great to know.
It just seems like they wait till a very specific thread pops up on the forums referring to the topic to post about it, but if we received this info regularly it wouldn't require any additional interaction with the dev team, but would certainly enhance the community feeling that the dev team are communicating what's going on. As we all know, the well of information has run a bit dry recently, and I'm sure this would only help alleviate the feeling of detachment many players have right now.
Yoshida said to avoid translating personally, but it seems options are a bit limited right now.
