A Thought on the Forthcoming Live Letter QA

[XenoCranel]

Hello Community!

Previous thread has been removed, but MyOpinion still stands.

There is a QA on April 14th during the Live Letter with Global Community Producer Toshio Murouchi who oversees the Community Team that handles live events and broadcasts, but mainly the Support Team that handles inquiries from players and the Special Task Force (STF) Team that handles illicit activities.

I encourage you to ask a question related to the producers job responsibilities or like the posts if it is similar to your question.

A few examples (Will update if anyone posts something new):

I'll add on to the list above if you just recently added a comment on the thread to keep everyone up-to-date.

Post a comment to let us know why you asked that specific question to better understand your perspective .

The fact that they were even able to find a grounds to remove the original thread in the first place is worrisome to me, since as far as I'm aware, there wasn't any actual ToS violations going on there and more likely the people who were very indirectly being mentioned by the TC noticed it and started spamming it with reports because it was making them feel insecure.

Given the number of comments addressing botting (of all kinds, from PvP to crafting/gathering to the trickling of them into content like Eureka), and given the likes each comment is steadily accruing, I will be severely disappointed if the guest at the Live Letter does not answer a single one of them.

Just because botting isn’t an issue on the JP servers does not mean it’s not an issue elsewhere, or that it should be ignored. Frontlines is already nightmarish if your GC ends up having the most bots, and even though I do not craft or gather much for profit, the dominating bots are doing in the crafting markets—and I’m not just talking about Cactuar here; there are other servers that have it worse than we do—is just not right, and prevents legitimate crafters from making a profit (not that legitimate crafters need bots to make bank; sounds like the crafting bots just need to git gud). Something needs to be done.

Why was that thread removed O_o
Censorship? protecting the botters? is that why they never respond to these bot concerns?

Pointing out that botters are violating the ToS is mean. Can't do that.

It was likely linking one of the posters to the group which could open them up to harassment if not being construed as harassment in itself. Perhaps the thread was taken to the back room for cleaning, some threads have made it back before.

I'd like to hope that's what happened, because deleting an entire thread because of one person making a remark like that is hardly reasonable.

It wasn't deleted, just moved to events forum. I thought it was so they could translate the question they want to ask.

That thread started off in the events forum and was started by staff, the thread in question was started by a user and is no longer listed in the general forum.

The total number of likes on these posts has exceeded a thousand. Hope that's enough to gain their attention.
