Communication from SqEx needs to change

I don't know how much has changed since WoW's Cataclysm, but for the many years I played WoW the developers did indeed communicate, but that communication usually came in the form condescending developers who clearly thought players were idiots. Also, the developers would claim that the next update made the classes perfect and that the current balance had to be thrown out because it was garbage.. a claim which they would repeat prior to every expansion.

But, yes, there was technically communication.

FFXIV communication could certainly be better, but I wouldn't want it to be like the communication I remember coming from Blizzard. At least you make it sound like it's improved.

Its hard to know what to expect, but any communication can be better than radio silence which is what we get here. Like, If a dev came onto my seasonal event post and was like "You're an idiot and your opinion is shit kekw" at least I'd know they read it and the direction it was going to go as hurtful as that would be.

Again, it's not even the radio silence that bothers me - its the fact that when we DO get 'answers' (most recent Live Letter Q&A for example) they're generic non-replies - the sort of rubbish you expect from your average Politian who doesn't wish to be held accountable/take responsibility for anything and doesn't want anything they say used against them at a later date.

To me its both. The community can rage for 6 months before we hear anything about it and then when when we do we get "We hear you..Something generic.. look forward to it"
