Dear SE, please stop ignoring the bigger threads.

[Onikimaru]

Can you guys stop answering small threads with COMMON SENSE answers please and focus your attention to those actually passionate about the threads they make.
Ones that have been up for months and have had no attention from you at ALL.

Just wanted to add that a lot of us just want acknowledgement at this point, just a simple /nod not even joking.

Its starting to feel you are ignoring us on purpose. Now i know not everybody is going to agree with this and i expect comments like. "stop sooking and being entitled, they have better things to do". All that jazz. But those that have been trying for months to keep the threads going and the amount of support some of these threads have is absolutely outstanding, and the fact that all those passionate posts and threads are getting ignored is beyond me and makes me think SE is getting lazy.

I'd also like to point out that a few certain threads such as the one below aren't just limited to the NA section.

I am going to quote a post that was made in this thread, because i suck with words and this guy absolutely nailed it in terms of how we all feel - http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-faces!/page54

Thread title is perfect.

OP Content is perfect.

Upvotes are perfect.

Support is perfect.

Page Count is perfect.

Constructive Feedback is perfect.

# of Days on First Page is perfect.

It's very upsetting that when NA finally does a thread right by their standards (especially, cultural), SE is purposefully silent.

Isn't it about time you responded on this topic, SE? You've had plenty opportunity to deliberate internally & come to a decision.

Come on? This' just like the Formal RMT Letter thread... it's getting harder & harder to argue against the idea that we're severely neglected here on the NA boards.

It's almost hurtful, like... why bother posting here if we're to keep being treated as second class? At least, it feels that way to me & it stings.

Feels so vain. Why waste my time if it's going to fall on deaf ears (not technically deaf, but you get what I mean...)?

Disagree with me whatever, i don't really care. But at least think about the other people that have tried to make this a better game for all of us. I try and contribute to big topics that i am not interested in but a lot of others are out of respect for everyone else.

Thank you for reading and i hope this doesn't spark a riot or displeases anybody have a nice day and see you in heavensward warriors of light!.

So, because they dont comment = ignoring? How many threads have you clicked on, read, but not commented on?

How often have threads BEEN replied to but people werent satisfied with the answer and in turn make an even bigger stink? Or how many times are the answers they provided ignored and new threads are created. Look at the NM thread. That was well over 300+ Pages (at 10 comments per page) with a reply in the first 10 pages saying "No, this does not fit with the theme of the game." yet people continued on as though they were ignored. How many times have they commented and had the comment picked apart and misinterpreted (housing, Elemental Wheel). If I were the dev's I would be afraid to say ANYTHING to you people.

Or people creating thread after thread about the same bloody thing (that also was replied to at some point if people bothered to check first). What bothers me more are the armchair devs that come on here and rake people over the coals with a verbal diatribe that insults and berates the very people they want to communicate with. IRL when someone calls me down and tried to tell me how to do my job in a less than constructive manner, I am always inclined to do the exact opposite of what they wanted of me.

Also this...

Greetings,

In the lead up to the release of Heavensward, it can seem like we're being silent or not following up on many of the topics you're bringing up here. However, we would like everyone to understand that we are listening and gathering all of the feedback you've been diligently submitting to us, whether or not we make it overtly known. The development team truly values everyone's feedback and suggestions.

That being said, your comments from this thread, and other related threads, have been relayed to the development team. They would like to use all of the comments they've been getting as reference for future development and adjustments.

We look forward to your continued suggestions and feedback to help make PvP, and FINAL FANTASY XIV itself, even better!

Just my 2 gil

I wouldn't be surprised if all the head developers themselves have visited this good ol' little forum. Imagine what would happen if one of them DID respond.

It'd be like Elvis Presley walking out into his front yard to hand a homemade gift to one of his many adoring female fans. Okay, maybe we're not THAT rabid a fanbase, but if the head honchos started replying to threads here,
our expectations of them would surpass their limits. Kind of like how when you get straight A's in school, then you mess up one year, and it's suddenly a catastrophe.

Key difference: He's not on the dev team. His comment doesn't carry the same weight. So if he doesn't say annything, who cares? But if a dev won't say anything, then we have no clue what's going on on their side.

Please comment on the GIF thread SE!!!! It has over 300+ pages and 1.2M views, you have been silent far too long!

Their comments carrying weight is more reason for them not to respond. Dev responses are practically considered gospel. They need to make sure the plan is set in stone before putting it in a comment. When devs go back on stuff that they've confirmed there is a lot of (reasonable) backlash.

A dev has to be professional, they can't afford to just toss their opinion into the mix unless they know that position is also supported by the rest of the company, which takes time and coordination.

tldr; people on the forums need to chill

On the note of high-end SE officials replying to threads here, I would have felt exceedingly stupid if Yoshi P himself responded to my "Yoshi P Talks 2.57" thread, with that Spanish guy yuk-yuk-yukking it up.

To be fair, there's a Dev Tracker in the top right hand corner of the forum.
Even if that's only the admins, it's still something.

I get the impression that the OP would appreciate if there was anything that appeared to be official: A mod or admin, mentioning that they have seen the thread, and haven't heard of any intentions either way.

There are several big threads at the moment with tens of thousands of views. Even if there are millions who play this game, thousands should still elicit some comment, even if it's "Not gonna happen." or "We shall see".
And some of them are on distinctly negative subjects. The RTM situation. The male dress. That sort of thing.

[Dererk]

Pretty much every rmt thread.

Would at lest be nice if they posted in them to show their checking.
