One of the things that makes this site great is that people like Sashtan are able to post freely. It's like a car crash - you can't look away. It's one reason I always vote against banning people in those types of polls. They provide too many laughs - especially when they don't realise how they come across in their posts.

Anytime I've ever seen a "chubby" person call themselves chubby is when i go hogging. They call themselves "chubby" right up to 400lbs, after that they just become "overweight"

Back on topic a bit?

Quote from Gnorbin

Yes folks, devs play EQII.
Depending on the circumstances, they use raid-guilds to test raid content. There's simply no way to truly test high-end content without the use of guilds that intimately know raiding and other high-end content. This is not bad ethics, this is testing content. If you wish to speak of this, please contact your local admin (me) and leave bashing the developers out.

I am curious why SOE thinks its OKAY to have raid guilds test content for them and still play along side them on production servers. Is this not what they pay game testers for? Does SOE have no budget to pay game testers? It would have avoided this whole mess. Why can they not test their own content? That statement from Gnorbin further exemplifies why CR at least should be canned and corporate ethics at SOE needs a wakeup call.

Or... is this best practice in all of the MMO gaming community? Maybe its just me.. maybe what I would consider a logical policy as best practice.. is really not feasible in the MMO development structure.

KEEP people who test raid content ON TEST SERVERS.. PERIOD.

Maybe that is just not doable?

Generally CR is just CR. They relate to the community. They normally don't have a hand in development of the game. Devs however follow the rules the company gives them when it comes to fair play with relation to the community. I think that SOE allowing Devs to do what they have done is pure LAZYNESS and fundamentally promoting CHEATING and saying its OKAY is just putting this all in a larger perspective here.. The company ethics as a whole promote LAZINESS and allow for CHEATING to be OKAY.

Why ban the botters then.. seems contradictory. The botters are stealing money from SOE via credit card fraud... But, possibly, this is the money they should have been paying NPU and whatever other raid guilds to test their content...

Hire game testers and train them to raid and follow QA & Test procedures. If one of them leaks content.. fire them and make a change to your content that is unforeseen by that tester that just got canned. Seems logical. And could have prevented all this.

Did you happen to post this exact sentiment on the SOE boards?
If not, you should.

Thread was closed as soon as Hitler posted that, and all threads referencing Hitlers post were deleted. Hitler = ~Gnobrin! in this instance
