It's thanks to them that we are receiving, for example, the City-state specific outfits coming 2.51. I like to think that my thread asking for them on the official boards helped this, and maybe it did, but more probably, someone asked for them on the JP boardsIt doesn't matter who did it in the end, but what matters is that I feel happy for asking in those forums.
So in the end, please do not think poorly of the Official Forums just because of the mess General Discussion can be sometimes. There are trolls there just as there are people ready for a civil discussion, and they will always have the attention of SE that these boards do not have.
TL;DR: The official forums are not evil! You just need to choose carefully the right section and the right topic/wording for your thread!
I've yet to see any sort of positive impact from an official forum. All MMOs included, not just this one.
MUCH LESS a non-Japanese forum for a Japanese MMO.
Well, you can find a good amount of them here: http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=8517
But just so I can give you one example, here's something that is very RP-Focused, my request of an IC Status Icon. Pretty much everyone has been positive and nice. I daresay, the rudest post was coming from an RPer him/herself instead.

My favorite comment in there being:
Quote:I support this too. I think it would be nice for the rpers to have. Lets others know when the show's about to start too. *doesn't rp in this game but likes to listen to others*
And with this post I'll try to not derail the topic further. I get too attached to things I like >_<; lol!
To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
