Are the developers of XIV out of touch?

[Squintina]

I'm more upset the same questions are asked every single time, when we all know what the answers will be.

I think Q&A's would be more productive for all parties if other questions would be asked other than the usual.

There were over 30 pages worth of questions. The first 20 pages are mostly non-repeated (people did a decent job of checking to see if someone else submitted it) and there were many new questions. I myself had about 10 questions (beast tribe, character config, command mission, leves as gil sink, and others). I urge you to check out the thread and see that the community did come up with a variety of unique questions - and yes a lot of them are just as highly rated, or close enough, as the ones that were picked.

If it's the same questions, it's because SE chose to do that. They could have filtered out the ones asked before, or the ones they didn't like. My guess is that they wanted to give more definitive answers once and for all, as those "same questions" got the most definitive answers we ever got (such as Ishgard housing not getting a "we'll see", but getting a "if we add more housing, it'll be Ishgard"), in the hopes that the next LL - especially the fanfest ones - will not have them asked again. Or maybe they chose them because they didn't want to reveal too much of anything new - once again to save more for fanfest in November - and having a PLL during E3 was just a PR stunt for the new merch.
