why the dev hasn't respond

[Fendred]

Live letters are getting translated last time i checked.
Community managers do post here but they get so drowned out by useless thread after thread they are hidden on god knows what page now.

So either the forum devs didn't make a way for the community managers to sticky their stuff to the top of the forums or the community managers simply do not know how to do that. Communication issues like these should have been resolved in the first few weeks after release, not continue to persist for over two years.

Or people need to stop making stupid thread after stupid thread about the same subject.
This forum really needs some stricter rules like 1 thread per subject.

There is more negative feedback than positive feedback but IMO it should be as that. We had some "thanks for Heavensward" topics and I am glad for them, but devs need negative feedback more to be able to improve the game.

Even Yoshi said that he is glad for negative feedback because it lets them improve the game (please don't ask me for source, it was in an interview quite some time ago) but they also treasure the positive feedback ofcourse.

There are some meaningless rant threads (which I love when I have salty mood), but there are nice negative feedback threads with awesome points and suggestions.
Actually I am looking at different problem in these forums, many people have problem accepting constructive negative feedback or don't like any opinions that are against their idea of game and usually attack the OP a lot.

TL, DR: There definitely are good constructive negative feedback threads, don't blame only people for low responsivity of devs, they are to blame too. It is just easier for them to respond to suggestions for campfire minion.

The reasons the Devs don't Respond:
1) They don't speak English
2) CMs presumably round up the general feedback trends and deliver them to their Japanese overlords, and can't say anything about their plans until Emperor Yoshi gives the go-ahead
3) If CMs or Devs respond carelessly to hot topics (Housing, Retainers, Scrips) people will take those as promises, which will later be "broken"

And one last thing I would like to add, the only really helpful feedback is the "Negative" feedback. I know that the die-hard fanboys get their knickers in a twist if you ever speak badly about the game, but people do have legitimate complaints.

It's not going the way of WoW unless the 3.X patch cycle consists of one raid and Twitter integration.

Minus the twitter integration isn't that pretty close to what we get every patch? The standard patch contains: a few MSQ quests that you can finish in 4-5 hours (I don't have a problem with this), 1 Primal, 1 raid (Alex or the new CT), 2 dungeons to grind tomes in until your eyes bleed.

Yes, but FFXIV gets these big patches more often than the last expansion of WoW did (which was once).

In one patch, yes. The difference is that, if ARR is any indication, we'll be getting 5+ decently sized content patches. The ONLY patches the last WoW expansion got were one adding Twitter integration and a selfie tool, and one adding a raid and a daily hub. That was it, pay Blizzard another $60.

Please put some thought into reading the Savagelf's OP before posting. I know it's a bit difficult, but the OP isn't asking a question. He's stating that "the reason we don't have a dev response is because our forums are filled with nothing but trolling and negativity". He's saying that if you're going to say something negative, you should say something positive as well... which is to say, I think he's saying we should be giving constructive criticism... which is absolutely what this forum needs more of.

Sometimes, there isn't anything positive to say or the positive stuff has nothing to do with the critic. What people need to do is to stop being so oppositional when critiquing and/or suggesting things and to do it in a more friendly manner. :B

Our forums are only good enough for passing the time when waiting for something or nothing to do. Once in a blue moon we'll get a good and reasonable thread but then the trolls come rolling in. Not to mention people want stuff that would add more problems to the game.

There isn't anything worth responding to, it's mainly complaints threads about people wanting everything, regardless if it makes any sense or not. for a split second i had almost forgotten how these forums work.
