Feedback treatment by SE

[EponaTBHSMH]

I've only started coming regularly to these forums for Dawntrail, but the thing that has surprised me was how much it is disregarded in terms of feedback by SE

I've seen and keep seeing feedback about:

DT MSQ
Wuk Lamat
Healerstrike
Game difficulty
Tanks lack of balance
Tanks survivability
Viper

The most shocking one being the Viper one because as soon as that change was announced people made threads and threads about not changing it, assuming they were talking about positionals, to end up with a change I had seen nobody even mention on these forums.

So my questions to you all are:
Where does Square Enix get their feedback for their patches from?
Can we be sure it's from here?
Have there been instances of people complaining but due to planning, things get implemented really late?
How does that all work around here?

I honestly have no idea.
The japanese Side is puzzled at times aswell and assumes it comes from us and well via versa.

Often Feedback from here doesnt get aknowledged.
For example the Healing Strike was a consequence of two expansion long healer feedback essentialy ignored.

Just wait for the next Live Letter. It is going to be the most watched yet.

I forgot to mention that the JP forums have an exclusive section that is missing in the non-JP ones, この装備を武具投影したい！！ (https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/forums/1266), where players can submit ideas and feedback regarding the Mirage Prism system (Glamours in the West).

That is crazy

But yes I also thought they favored the JPs opinions but then I read and translated this thread https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...82%B9%E3%83%AC

and they seem just as equally confused as we are, which is why I'm now confused

JP forums complain that they don't get listened to either.

Truth is, SE is funneling all its budget away from FF14 and is letting junior, inexperienced devs helm the ship.

People like to meme about the ‘JP priority’, but as other have mentioned by all accounts they’re just as ignored as we are.

Which, yeah, makes you wonder where tf their ‘feedback’ is coming from. Twitter? Reddit?

You mean the worst possible places to get feedback.

There is one more place of feedback. A place so twisted, so cursed, we dare not mention its name.
