Not sure if as a XIV DEV, you want to use the little spare time you have playing the game "normally" (i.e. in a normal environement, meaning like any other customers, without anyone knowing you are a dev, normal character etc.)
Reps or even translators is a different story, they don't make the game, so playing it is definitely more enjoyable since they don't know all the mechanisms behind it (well translators would be spoiled a bit since they know text obviously), but can still enjoy gameplay.
But it's kind of hard to enjoy content -you- designed with a bunch of random players (who most likely are often doing it wrong) as you remain anonymous, there is no way to tell them how it is supposed to be done :d Must be so frustrating. Like enter a new raid dungeon, you know all the mechanisms, but you see everyone trying different strategy and failing, but you must remain silent
Seeing how XIV 1.0 got released, hardly doubt it.I'm sure if they want to say something they would of said it directly at the devs since I'm hoping SE's work environment is open like other gaming companies where they take as much info to improve.
