    Forget Live Letters, how about they just communicate with us on the forums the same way they used to? How does 4.3 get something like this, but we were left completely in the dark until 5.0 regarding those changes? I believe they even declined to comment or show anything regarding PvP in the press events leading up to Shadowbringers (despite clearly actually having something, but no instead they locked the PvP Profile at press events so PvP inclined attendees couldn't do their job for them and give us some details...), and of course we've not heard anything regarding the 5.1 changes either...

    I honestly don't blame them for glossing over PvP in Live Letters, given what XIVs Twitch community is like regarding PvP. Would be nice to see those old community manager PvP streams make a comeback though, and just let them discuss upcoming changes more. A stream that's largely PvE related isn't going to have a warm reception to PvP news, but an official stream dedicated to PvP? I imagine that's the kind of content we want to tune in for? When even was the last official PvP stream? Chaos Showdown? Good to end on a high note, I guess...

    The press event stuff was really weird, too - While I kinda took it as 'it's not ready yet' the same way most of us took 5.0 to be something that was pushed out just to have something pushed out, the radio silence felt awful. I know Frosty and others would have LOVED to have even the smallest morsel to report on, but nothing.

    I agree with the bit about the live letters - dealing with an endless stream of residentsleeper spam and furious kvetching about PvP/rewards makes moving PvP details offstream a no-brainer. That makes me think that doing something PvP specific would do a world of good, even if it's smaller and doesn't pull the same kind of numbers. Maybe Adrenaline Rush TV with some infodumps/discussions with dual language slides so the English speaking community can hop in on the hype too. Anything.
