With another tier in the books, are you still happy with the difficulty of Savage? Is there any consideration to making even just the last fight more challenging, or do you think it's unacceptable for some players to have difficulty clearing the final boss of a tier?

So there's a lot of backlash against the Greed-Only Alliance raids. Aside from asking about changing back (as it already has been asked)...


What was the thought-process as to making this change? What exactly caused the development team to decide that this was a necessary change? It certainly wasn't something I've seen requested much at all on the NA forums. Why did the dev team decide to go along with it even though there was a big outcry against it as soon as we heard about the plans for it?

It might be too early to ask, but have you considered making instances be cross Data Centers, not just cross server?

Can we get an In-Game DPS meter? As the current Comms System is unfair as most players dont talk in duty finder, so they base their comm on performance. They can tell if the Tank did well enough to keep enmity and the healer kept everyone healed but they cant tell if the dps player was doing any good or if the tank or heal was doing exceptional by doing there assigned role and providing extra dps. Also their would be less disputes between players if it was there in black and white what was happening. And give newer players an opportunity to ask the better performing players for tips and make mentoring actually valid.

Currently, tanks and healers are built for very specific kinds of incoming damage, therefore they feel very similar in how they deal with incoming damage. All the tanks have defensive buffs that boost their effective health pools extremely high, and all the healers have large burst heals that can instantly bring back nearly half of everyone's health in a couple seconds. We have three tanks and three healers, yet the way these roles deal with incoming damage feels very similar and not really unique. Are there plans on making tanks and healers feel less similar and have more unique mechanics to deal with incoming damage?

What would you say are the key differences to what JP players want, what NA players want, and what EU players want?

Going from ARR to HW and HW to SB, what have you learned along the way?

Through out the game, we see only really see one mixed-race character. Are mixed-race offspring rare on Hydaelyn?

Has there been any talks or thoughts on emulating a token system similar to Blizzard's WoW Tokens, where players can buy said token from the cash shop and sell them on marketboard and/or trade said tokens for either subscription time or cash shop currency to buy cash shop items with?
