Hopefully the question being asked so directly and with specific examples will at least put it on the radar for them.
Frankly, it feels to me that the North American side of the community engagement team has terribly dropped the ball on expressing a lot of the concerns here to the Japan team. Or maybe there just isn't enough time/weight given to communication from NA to Japan. I, however, really do feel more comfortable saying it's the former. YoshiP himself always seems open to taking feedback and at least considering what he's told, but it's basically crickets around here as far as any communication at all from the community engagement team. I mean, if we can't even tell that they're paying attention at all to the official forums, how confident can we be that they're taking commentary here and relaying it to Japan.

Off topic for this thread, but it feels like the Healer debate is in the same space. Clearly YoshiP has heard some of the discussion about healers not being happy but he seems to not really understand Why healers aren't happy. It shouldn't be on content creators in their bi annual interview time to try and explain things to him.
