Pay people to not suck at testing your game?

How many high end guilds/raiders were over there for Beta, look how much got fixed. Yet the only way for them to fix content apparently is to raid in high end live raid guilds?

You think you would have as much fun playing eq2 if it was a 9 to 5?

Let's look at most other gaming companies and ask them how they test their games before they go out the door. Oh, you mean they have a QA department that isn't run by 4 people? EQ2 is understaffed which is why we end up with the game we have. Having 4 people in the entire QA department is a fucking slap in the face of players.

Anyone have more? I'd love to get a list going.

No, that was me talking to Luckyx, not Manyak.

Well I voted they can play, and that they should acknowledge who they were. However....

Only because the option of, they can play, because what they do on their own free time is their business, was not one of the picks.

Wouldn't you WANT developers to play? Isn't a good thing that employees like the game enough that they are willing to put in time outside of work to do stuff?

I know I don't know what most people in my guild do for a living, and pretty sure none of them know what I do for a living. I'm not at all interested, to be honest, in what others private lives are.

yea, I retracted my statement earlier since I misread the qoute, and I apologize to both you and SoN if I was inaccurate in my statement.

The poll isn't about whether or not they should be allowed to play their game. It's asking if you think they should be allowed to participate in high end raid guilds on the live servers.

That's interesting. I thought raiding entailed actually playing the game.

My bad.

Theres more to EQ2 than just raiding. Theres other types of raid guilds besides high end.
