    Aren't those questions intentionally hand-picked by them? Every Q&A thread I've seen had interesting questions that were ignored for the more superficial ones.

    Also on topic: I agree with the original poster. Every MMO I've played had active community managers interacting with the players, it was part of their job, even the worst p2w Korean MMOs had some semblance of community interaction between the company and the players, every game but this one. All we get is indirect, delayed responses that aren't even worthy to be offered an official English translation while they happen.

    No one's thread is ever that important that a mod needs to contribute to it, especially when there are tons are duplicates out there that we don't need but players still seem to think their thread deserves the most attention. If it were Blizzard forums such threads would be merged with others in to a mega thread and you wouldn't have choice in the matter where it got moved. Mods are definitely out there though and they do contribute to stuff that is actually pretty useful, like FanFest questions or PvP adjustments.

    I interpreted it differently. It's not that one particular thread deserved special attention, but rather, it was a sign that moderators or community representatives were watching what's going on here, yet they've remained silent. To be honest, the silence can get unnerving at times. Blue Mage is a rather hot topic right now. What does SE think about all of it? We don't know. It's been two months since the announcement was made and the controversy hasn't been well-addressed. Maybe they aren't ready to talk about it yet, but even a simple acknowledgement that people's concerns have been heard can go a long way. They don't need to talk with us every day, but I think more communication would be appreciated.

    This! lol I every time I saw that I was like why was that even asked! Or pet glams while skipping over the part where the pet AI is still jacked. Lol is this what our side of the community cares about.

    Only time I've seen community reps is when you get new additions and they give their blanket statement of how nice it'll be to interact or work with the team and the community. And then. Poof. You never hear from them again.

    Like a snowflake that melts away at the first sign of any interaction.

    I think it's just a bunch of extra work that amounts to nothing. Most of the popular opinions from forums had been said for years now and they are not that great and can't be fixed in a short time.

    I haven’t read through the whole thread, but I don’t think is a bad idea. Obviously it’s impossible for a community rep to answer every single query posted on the forums, but I don’t think anyone is expecting that lol.

    That said, I do think it’d be worth community reps at least posting to say that they acknowledge issues with topics that keep cropping up. Even if it’s just something like ‘we acknowledge players are having issues with x and will forward the concerns to [whoever]. I think something like that would go a long way to assuage people’s concerns.

    I do feel a certain lack of connection with the SE devs that work on XIV. I just don't think they're the kind of developer that would want to have more open communication with the playerbase, to be honest.

    This topic made me think of Bungie. I've been playing Destiny since launch, and I'm neck-deep in its community. I follow a bunch of devs on Twitter and I get this feeling like they're more... personable? I'm not sure that's the right word for it, but it's the idea that X or Y developer isn't just a developer, but also just a regular guy or girl who sometimes tweets about playing games with their children or having trouble with their car, or the weather, or some such mundane stuff a bunch of people can relate to. You get the sense that they've got lives going on. This makes them feel more reachable such that if you were to tweet at them, it wouldn't be entirely surprising for them to reply to you. Couple this with the fact that that game has a weekly news article in which the devs chime in every now and then with their thoughts on community reaction to W or Z event/update.

    I'll be honest, I kinda wish SE was like that, but I understand it's not in them be so. Language barrier aside, it strikes me as the kind of thing that's deeply ingrained in the company's philosophy. People engage with them at fanfest and events such as those, but there's still that feeling of them putting a wall between the playerbase and themselves. Also, to be clear, I'm not saying SE should be like Bungie in this regard, I'm just saying I kinda wish they were, but I understand why they aren't and how it might not be in their best interest.

    Just this tired lala's two gil.

    The bungie devs are native English speakers, of course they interact more with the English speaking players.

    Players want to know that their concerns are coming in and not just getting brushed under the rug. Especially in light of some of the BLU threads being moved or removed, despite it being just released.
