Pyros... it's going to be lit

Except these Infos aren't directly from SE but from Interviews with japanese news outlets SE has otherwise little control over. I also don't see how this is even changing my point that people are simply jumping the gun here - and not for the first time.
I generally agree that SE should try and communicate more, but at the same time you can't expect to SE to try and have a mature, constructive discussion (well, as constructive as it can be over on the 'western' forums given the language barrier people always seem to conveniently forget or willfully ignore) if the playerbase keeps acting like a 5-year old throwing a tantrum over a wrong christmas present - while half the time not even knowing what the present is yet.
I guess my point is: I know SE can be 'pigheaded' as you put it - but so can the playerbase.

(And with this I'm done with the general forums for the next month, I can only take so much sodium...)

If they don't want us "throwing tantrums" over vague or mistranslated information, they should be responsible and translate it. I get that these are interviews but if they are going to do it, they know damn well by now that they have eager fans in the West that will hunt for info and do their best to share it. If they don't want misinformation to spread they need to be consistent and equal with how they communicate upcoming changes. If a random interview in a Japanese-only magazine is the only way they communicated the info and a good-willed but unskilled fan translator is what we have to work with, well, that's on SE. They have to realize by now that they are a global company with a global playerbase. They should stop pretending Western fans are just an unexpected bonus audience.

The only thing SE seems to learn from each iteration of Eureka is that if they put tantalizing enough rewards behind the content they can make complete and utter s*** and people will still do it. Sad times.

What do you expect them to do though? Release a full rundown of Pyros' mechanics 2 months in advance just in case some rando interviewer may or may not ask a questtion they may or may not actually answer just so they can avoid some random fan translation spreading information that may or may not be mistranslated?
Sorry that just sound utopic to me.
I've already stated that I'd love for SE to communicate more, and I recognize that SE is far from perfect; but I also recognize that things aren't as easy as the playerbase likes to make them sound sometimes.
Is it truly to much to ask of the playerbase to show at least a modicum of reason? Especially if we are gonna ask SE for the same?

But hey, I can already see I'm not getting anywhere; so I'm done wasting my time here.

Anemos was bad, Pagos is awful. So I'd say people are concerned, and rightly so, even if it comes from a third party interview, and the translation might not be perfect.
