Questions to Global Community Producer Toshio Murouchi

It was widely reported that some Free Companies, and coordinated groups of individuals, "report bombed" players whom they viewed as competition for their desired housing plots on the eve of Shirogane's housing launch. The result was that some players had temporary bans and couldn't log in the next day.

How prevalent was this, have steps been taken to prevent it from happening again, and did the players who participated in it get to keep their houses?

I'm a player in an NA server, but I live in South America. Often I've wanted to take part in community events such as the Gear Design and Hairstyle Design contests, but the big "NORTH AMERICAN RESIDENTS ONLY" on the Terms always discouraged me. If I placed within a contest, would my design be disqualified just for having the wrong kind of home address? Or could I just let go of any physical prizes (such as shirts and etc) but still receive in-game ones, and/or have my design implemented?

Would you consider using another system for taking in questions for future live letters? Using forums means that once the thread gets to 10+ pages, it becomes unreasonable to expect people to read everything.
There are other list websites that would be much more suited for LiveLetter questions than forums, allow for searching (impossible to search in here since the search won't look in a specific thread), and let people submit categories.

When is the 1000 character limit in the forums going away?

It's really annoying and computer users can circumvent it anyway by editing. This is to the point that many frequent forum-goers simply make a post with something like "edit incoming" as soon as they reply because they full expect that they'll hit the 1000 character limit easily.

Job Bardings

For some years now we only had chocobo bardings for a few jobs. With Eureka we finally got a new one - the Red Mage. Are there any plans in the works for us getting more bardings based on the other jobs? I still, so very much, would like to dress my bird up like a Bard.

A lot of people use third party program to monitor party dps. While it has it's uses, to confirm and improve ones own dps or to more easily prove World First clears, it is way more often used against players that do not perform as good at the top 10% of playerbase. Especially since Stormbloods release me and many others have noticed an increase in this behavior, and it is turning a lot of players away from not just raiding and other Endgame content, but the entire game as well. A lot have already quit as they perceive party finder as too toxic, and I have even seen close friends become obsessed with numbers and judge others solely on their dps numbers on ACT or Fflogs. Are you ever going to adress this problem? I know it is hard to regulate things like these, but there should be at least some punishment for behavior like this, as it just runs rampant and destroys the fun in raiding, primals and even lower level content for a lot of people.
