This take is among the most annoying and short-sighted that I've seen from quite a few people.
For one thing, the developers are requesting that feedback and comments be shared in these forums. So to say that they shouldn't read them means that, one way or the other, they're just lying or being disingenuous at best.

For another thing, if the take is meant to be about how "the non-JP region forums are so rude, because JP is so polite and nice and honest," let's take a moment to remember that their most recent calls for civility from the player community was specifically aimed at JP players, and aired on a JP-only radio show. Not to mention, the most recent shenanigans that transpired when one of their streamers got the 3rd party tool suspension, and the whirlwind of that aftermath.

Finally, they are asking for feedback and comments from players, not a professional Q&A group. They're going to get feedback and comments of all shapes and sizes, from all different levels of emotional to logical, from constructive to... well, not. For a group of professionals to expect their customers, of varying origins, skill levels, and preferences, to be able to provide professional feedback, is nonsense, and that anyone would even suggest that the company is dumb enough to expect it is either shame on the company or ignorance for the sake of ruction.

Not exactly what I meant. But even with this very polite take, they, then, need to say so, rather than push things away and out of sight, to the point where players can actively say that they haven't seen honest feedback for their years-long issues. They don't have to listen to every single person, but they definitely need to actually take the feedback for what it is rather than saying they'll fix "the problem" and then just make it worse because they never bothered to figure out what the problem actually was.
