Formal Letter to SE about RMT situation.

[Ophie-Mio]

but I feel like he doesn't actually know how bad the RMT thing is on NA servers. I wish I knew the proper way... the proper channels through which to make that happen. If their stance still remains the same after, then whatever, at least I tried. I mean, with the amount of replies and such I'm sure at least one of the devs has seen this, but does it go any further than that...

And in my opinion, I feel that everyone on the JP side knows that the NA/EU servers have it rough on the RMT side. They have had it rough since the time of XI... Even as Tiggy and few others have said, they know. Will we ever see anything done about it? Probably not. There probably will never be a visible change in how they do their proceedings. There weren't any changes made to XI and the RMT situation until the RMT destroyed the economy in that game...and I mean, inflation the way this game will never know.

It never changed except for that drastic situation back then...do I think it'll change now? No, not really. Are the RMT on the NA/EU servers an issue. Yeah, but not enough for them to lead a campaign against the RMT until the economy in the game is destroyed beyond all saving.
You can write emails to people completely unrelated to the issue but that will never work.

They know that there's this issue. Soap boxing this issue until you're an annoying voice on the corner won't change things. The economy in this game needs to crash before they do anything HUGE.

Honestly, its a pretty "old-time" tactic. Sending protest letters to the presidents of companies, over and over again until you receive a response, has been something done for decades, to force responses.

As you're doing in a way right now with this thread. As I've said before, sending protest letters for something like this is creepy and weird and it'll be seen as that to them most likely.

ever watch the movie "Shawshank Redemption"? remember how the main character kept writing congress for a grant for the prison library, and after 5 years of sending one letter every day, he finally got a response? that's how it works.

Yeah, he was also stuck in prison. Comparing that to this is a little out there. This is an MMO and our platform to speak with the developers are the forums. They have never spoken back about this matter ever except for the one time that I described above for XI. *shrugs*

The main problem is, Yoshida is seeming to be blowing off the NA playerbase, and focusing on promoting and selling his new expansion. He really doesn't seem to be paying attention.

As others have said, Yoshi is busy with the expansion. If you think the RMT problem for half the servers is so extreme to DELAY/STOP the expansion, then you're losing touch with the picture at large. Yoshi is not blowing off the NA/EU playerbase. He's busy being held tight to a rigorous schedule.
He also isn't blowing us off because once again, they have never made any announcements about anything RMT wise since XI. Ever. He's just going according to what they've always done.

if you have a better idea, feel free to share it. Posting on the forums isn't working anymore, as 545 posts and counting in this thread would indicate.

My idea is and has always been since the beginning of this thread before it became annoying soap box protests and threatening to email everybody, was to give my 2 cents and sit tight. I - along with ALL the other players - know that the expansion is priority 1 and that IF anything is to be done, it will be done then. These disgusting threats of emailing CEOs and the board of directors is so over the top that it's crazy. It's escalating an issue to the highest extreme.

It's honestly screaming at a parent when they are busy making dinner. Wait for dinner to be made before you email anyone and rant and rave about how you're being neglected.
