Questions to Global Community Producer Toshio Murouchi

[VeilaUmbra]

Loving events but any plans to make them longer or more involved? Feels like they pass in a couple of minutes.

Also, any way to up the current rate of glam rewards from events or in general (true end game)? Would love some proper heels, more flowy robes/gowns (translucent), thongs, dyeable bra and contacts.

Thanks!

Do you feel there is any way to ever eliminate the threat of DDOSing or is the current means in which information is sent to the servers make it impossible to ever preemptively anticipate a DDOS attack?

Community Support (Live events, broadcast, official forums, promotions):
Are there any plans to increase interaction on these forums? Right now most of the the replies go to the Japanese language section. The players of other boards really feel ignored. The latest example being the place players call "Diadem 3.0" (Eureka ) where we only got a reply on fireworks, when the biggest concern was having a level sync.

We are confused why it was up to the players to link stuff like Yoshi-p's walk and not the official forum community team to share and discuss it with us.

What is the progress of the male bunny outfit? (If any)

Looking Forward - Beast Tribes

It has been stated that we'll be getting a crafting beat tribe in Patch 4.3. Some of us were surprised that the crafting tribe wasn't the Ananta. What can you tell us about Stormblood's tribe that we'll be helping out in 4.3, such as if they will be the Namazu, Lupins, or Qiqirn, or if it will be a brand new tribe we haven't met yet until now?

Also Looking Forward - In Regards to Eureka

Since the first area was Anemos, meaning wind, and that the island puts so much emphasis on the elements, will the next area be Gi (Earth), Fotia (Fire), or Nero (Water)? What more can we expect that you might be willing to tell us about future areas of Eureka?

Stalking and Harassment
Is there any extra measures taken to prevent stalking and harassment? Like preventing blacklisted people to check your location in Player Search / Friend list? Stalking is hard to prove and often GM's are powerless to do anything with their current tools.

[Riardon]

The official forums have a bad reputation on banning people too easily for saying different opinions or expressing themselves slightly more vocally. I don't speak about harassment or swearing. People outside of the official forums think than you ban anyone you don't like. Also users of the official forums feel like 3rd world citizens in comparison with the JP forums. Our feedback most of the times does not make it to the JP dev team. The official NA/EU responses from GMs are also very very scarce and limited.
Can you tell us anything about how you will improve the official forums on these aspects?

Glamour System/Glamour Plates - Applying Gear from another Job

The Glamour Plate system looks to be going well so far and I cannot wait for the continued improvement of accessibility of this game system. However, I'm still unsatisfied with some looks that certain classes have. The RDM Artifact gear looks perfect for the job and I appreciate it. But there is equipment available for BRD/MCH and MNK/SAM that would look great with my RDM. Yet, since it's a Casting class, it doesn't exactly look right for BLM or SMN, and I can understand that line of thinking.

It's why I think cross-class glamour accessibility would be a great option to open up with the Glamour Plate system. To be able to use my glamour that has the head, body and feet pieces of the Kudzu Set of Aiming (Level 64) on my RDM would be fantastic.

The look fits so perfectly when I "Try On" a RDM weapon in the Outfit Preview window, I'm sad that it won't ever happen (at least in the foreseeable future).

There are so many fantastic looks in this game, it's a shame it's all locked away behind Job/Class restrictions. Please reconsider altering these limitations in the future.

EDIT: Ack, didn't notice this was questions to the Global Community Producer... I'll still leave the question up, just not expecting it to get answered. xD

Would you consider this possibility for Paladin:
In Sword Oath make us dual wield swords.
In Shield Oath make us use a sword and a shield. That would make more sense in the loss of defense but boost in dps for the stance.
