Howdy from a brave little spark!

[Jojoya]

Welcome, Minaryne! I hope your new position brings you many joyful adventures.

Oh don't worry. I have an apology ready to post and edit my other things if I turn out to be 100% wrong which I REALLY HOPE I AM WRONG...but the years haven't given me the ability to give the company a lot of faith lately. Especially for the forums.

Time will tell.

But the Dev Tracker says you're not wrong. CM engagement with the EN forum community is extremely low compared to the other language forums.

Unless we get a new CM introducing themselves and saying "my primary duty will be to monitor the forums for feedback and engage with the forum community", I don't expect to ever see them return outside of maybe a reply or two in their intro thread.

I wonder how far they read into threads. Sadly, some of the most constructive discussion and feedback has been in threads that started off as trolling. It's mostly on us for not starting out and staying constructive in the first place but then many around here have gotten jaded because the lack of interaction with the CM team has left the forums feeling like a place that is ignored.

Might be a good idea to spell out exactly what your responsibilities are and what power you have to effect changes or pass along feedback before people bury you in 5+ years' worth of unaddressed complaints.

I feel like I should be happy I started with endwalker then and missed out on past drama.

How I feel feel any time I see daylight. I should get out of AZ and move up north.

Greetings!

My name is Minaryne, the latest adventurer to join the NA Community Team. You can call me "Mina" for short. It's a pleasure to meet you!

FINAL FANTASY XIV isn't my first FINAL FANTASY game, but it is one of my favorites.

I began my journey as a Warrior of Light near the tail end of A Realm Reborn. I remember the days of spending gil on varying types and grades of glamour prisms to fix my best outfit, then eventually learning to craft them myself. I played scholar until I bid my faeries goodbye in Shadowbringers and picked up the art of dancing following my adventures in the First.

Whether you're beginning your journey in the starting cities or waiting to sail with us to Tural, let's forge ahead!

Hello and see you who knows when.

[Denji]

may whatever god(dess) and/or spiritual being of your choosing have mercy on your soul i mean hi hello welcome

We have the same history and join date Mina. I wish you look as a moderator, and would like to ask.

PLEASE do something about trolls. I know as a community member, you know. It has been pretty bad here, and we could really use extra moderation. Though please don't take us back to the days of when we were overly moderated. Somewhere inbetween now, and then would feel much better in our fandom.

Best of luck! :3

pretty sure "member of the community team" does not mean they are a moderator

they could just be someone hired to put on official twitch streams. I dont think moderators usually introduce themselves...

This is the first community post from someone I have seen working for SE in nearly 2 years on General Discussion...welcome and I hope you are well!

Kinda funny and annoying that the predictions seem to have been correct. lol Though maybe her job isn't to post on the forums? I dunno. Or maybe a week and a half isn't enough time with w/e workload they've saddled her with? Would have expected at least an acknowledgment of the hellos, though...

It definitely isn't. I noticed that the community blog posts that show up are penned by her, so don't expect her to ever come back here. That isn't her job.
