Was there any communication between the developing teams?

I like this game. I really do. However there are so many issues with balance that It makes me wonder - was there a realy communication between the teams that made this game. For example:
1. Seals. You can get like 123 seals for NQ ilvl 55 item or about 300 from HQ....or do 1 Fate and get almost 300. I like the fact that you can craft items for seals but there is no point - fates give so much more and quicker.
2. EXP - dungeons are long and sometimes challenging while leveling. They give you almost no exp compared with FATEs that you can complete super fast.
3. Crafting gear. Leveling gear is irrelevant cause of FATES. Endgame gear is good BUT it costs so many times more then DL gear. Like there was no communication between crafting team and dungeon/token designers. Same with alchemy potions - you can spend about 30000 gil for 3 potions on normal servers or drop them easly from dungeon.

There are so many things to do in this game, however they are so poorly balanced that it's not the matter of "do one or the other" but "do one or 10x the other". The worst thing about that is that balancing won't help much in a month or two cause eveyrone will already be done with "the easiest" way of progression and wont care about the new one.

Same goes for Chocobo. Nice complex system but the only way to use it is to grind monsters which almost noone does cause guess what? FATEs are faster and easier.
