Do community reps/devs play the game too ?

[Zetsumei_Tsunarashi]

Hey I was thinking of asking this question at the live interview thing tomorrow, but I figured maybe it would be better to just wait for a response on here.

Basically I want to know, if the devs or community reps like Bayohne and Rukkiri actually play FFXIV or do they just look at forums all day long. I mean I understand it's their job to read the forums but maybe after work they play the game too ? And the devs obviously play the game on the test server, but do any of them have regular characters that they play with like you and me ? Are they even allowed to play ? Maybe they can't because SE is afraid they'll leak information or something.

I want to know so I can check their Lodestone blogs and add their characters on Lodestone Pads and stuff like that. Maybe they're even on my server and I can do some quests with them some time, that would be awesome ! ^^

Hopefully this thread won't get trolled too much and we can get a response.
