[Suggestion] An in game feedback method for jobs

[Recon1o6]

Over the years FF14 has grown and evolved into something of a marvel with its strengths, yet one of its most frustrating problems has been the growing disconnect between developers and players over jobs with this expansion being the worst yet.

With shadowbringers, this has particularly come to the fore with many on the official forums, reddit, twitter etc all expressing a lot of discontent over various job elements and design. Many long threads have been put up suggesting changes or improvements.

Yet browsing these websites many get the feeling their feedback is ignored for a community rep is a rare sight and letters from producers involving job q&a barely appear.



My idea is this: Make an in game survey or questionnaire every few patches so the devs can get better feedback for what players of all levels want. Tie a little reward to it perhaps so players will do it by choice.

This way the devs can focus closer to what players are wanting and hopefully players can start picking and playing what jobs they find fun rather than which has suffered least

We already have an in game suggestion sender. Just use that.

The threads here are read by the development team.
We rarely if ever get any responses to them though other than changes appearing in the game.
So, no need for yet another channel for suggestions.

I like the idea of a job survey. I'm not sure it needs to be in-game specifically, but something designed to give detailed feedback directly to the devs instead of incessant complaining on the forums and other media would be valuable to have, and not just for battle jobs. The devs could release such surveys for periods of time about pretty much anything from job reality to feelings on issues related to housing or glamour or whatever they're working on. As much as they may read the forums and such, I'm certain there are things they miss, or they don't realize are actual issues to the extent they are unless literally everyone starts complaining about it.

I agree to this. I also think it would be great if some developers could drop by this forum and communicate with fans more often to address some suggestions or to even just say hi.
