After reading the
’Open letter’ about the testing abilities of players, I had this idea.
Create a new class of player, the ‘Master Tester’. To become a Master Tester one would have to apply for the position, or be chosen, much like a GM. With this title comes the ability to modify your stats and equipment, but only yours. The duties of a MT are to search for bugs and test the limits of the game at each lvl of advancement. I understand some people do that now as they progress, but it is a slow drawn out process.
Having MTs would greatly speed up the bug detection process, and give the Devs much more time to fix any bugs found for higher lvl game play. This may sound redundant right now, but after a wipe or once a new skill is added, it will be very helpful.
It would need to be a strict selection as it would be an easily abused position, much the same as a GM.
This was a quick post to a though, I understand there may need to be more clarification on aspects of the idea.
Opinions and feedback welcome
