Can we please see more engagement and activity from our community representatives?

[Ath192]

Cause most of the necroed threads are stuff from 2013 that tends to not be relevant anymore. Just to be a troll or to stir the damn pot. Or for some known trolls cause they're bored as heck and it's a day that ends in y.

Okay, is this one of those? Because as far as I know I haven't seen a community rep pitch in anything in a while. You can't just lump them all in the same bag and call them trolls. You need to treat each thread on a case by case basis.

Hey there, community reps. Are you there? It's me, the Grimace.

Please send help. We're dying and the only way you can save us is to post atleast one word to prove you're there and that anything matters. Thanks.

I'm not sure what you're asking? If you're asking if the Op bumping their own thread that talks about how it doesn't feel as theNA section of the forums has little to no moderation and how in the past they were more engaging from 3yrs ago is doing so to troll? Then no as this still a thing that seems to be happening. Vs let's say if someone back in 2013 made a thread that was complaining about hating getting kicked off their chocobo after being heavy-ed by a mob that attacked them a second time. Clearly if someone were to necro that thread and their necro wasn't like "Oh man I'm glad that's not a thing anymore" I'd love to assume you'd agree it's an attempt at trolling. Or heavens forbid someone in 2043 necros the why can't we get pregnant thread.

@Boblawblah I want to say yes. I tried to search for it. I want to believe it is/was in the naming and shaming section. As I do remember people getting marks on their account for mentioning another poster in their post that wasn't a direct quote or done with an @. Not that anyone seems to care and it could have been changed.

Why am I not surprised it was already titanman 3 years ago... Is that pseudo something like the Dread Pirate Roberts? Does that guy work at SE to get a free pass for 3 years despite everyone knowing what he is...

I've been contemplating posting this for a while now. More than once I've written up something along these lines only to avoid posting it in the hope that things, in time, might just improve on their own. As it stands, though, they have not.

I've been posting on this forum for years. I enjoy the game for the most part and as a consequence of that enjoyment I like engaging with the community that has formed here - and I've made a few good friends in the process. So, with all that said allow me to get to the core of the matter.

Where are our community representatives?

From time to time, we see a thread made where a community representative introduces themselves. They're usually given a warm welcome but it's very rare to see them post again afterwards.

More recently - and without naming names - this forum has been plagued with subtly worded bait threads and thread 'necromancy' designed to frustrate and irritate the forum community.

This would likely be more apparent if the community representatives assigned to the English language portion of the forum spent more time here and less time on Twitter.

I do not want to come across as mean. I'd like to think that the community representatives are keeping tabs on things here. Perhaps their hands are simply tied for whatever reason. So I, on behalf of the forum community, humbly request that feedback is passed along to the development team in the vein of allowing the community representatives to have more freedom in regards to how and when they can post.

Even a simple comment on a constructive suggestion thread can do a world of good in regards to making people here feel as though their feedback is taken into account. To use an example, there's a pretty major concern from European players such as myself, as seen here:

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...ver-getting-it

This is the sort of thread I would expect to get more attention and an urgent response. It isn't an unreasonable request, after all - and if players are going to miss out on a mount altogether just because they aren't in the North American or Japanese region then it would be beneficial to know why.

I could link other examples of constructive threads that I would argue deserve attention from community representatives, but I'll keep it to just one example for now.

Again, I am not writing this with the intention of shaming our community representatives. This is just a humble request to be as visible and active here as you are on Twitter.

Imagine expecting engagement after looking at the trash threads day in and day out on this forum. No thanks.

*Lumps a decent thread with discussion potential in with a bunch of trolls without reason while mocking the OP, then screams that there's nothing but trash threads.*

Maybe you're just jaded. People decided to feed Titanman 8 pages worth of posts in the last few days but you're way too harsh on anything else.
