Are the developers of XIV out of touch?

[Remedi]

They watch streamers, that's how they take their infos.
Consider that Frosty's podcast on eureka had more or less a positive outlook, so kinda mrhappy and arthars too, If as I suspect they use streamers as an aggregator of ppl for infos it might be possible that idd they are the sources, This is probably true cosnidering also that companies are idd using streamers for this in recent years (Take notice of the overly cordial tone of mrhappy's interwiew with yoshida too) I'm not saying that they are the devil mind you, but since they have an aggregation power far greater than the OF (which is by some considered a cesspit of drama) thy might idd be a better way to gauge interest, though Imho there's bias of the streamer, which imho makes it a bit unreliable

Also they clearly read reddit considering the time it took for that post regarding RMT to appear and a reminder from SE to not do that to be posted on the lodestone. They have a problem in telling you about what they are listening but they do listen
