Why are DoF Beta Testers getting the server 1st discoveries?

<DIV>This brings the whole idea of server 1st discoveries to a whole new degree of [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot].  Did a search today on Master III spells, and the Beta Testers are all ready getting the credit for discovering these items.  So whats the point of even having server 1st discoveries anymore if the the Beta Testers get a huge jump on the rest of the community.  Another great job SoE. <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><A href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/eq2form.m?Form=Item.Search.General&slotId=-999&name=master+III" target=_blank><FONT color=#c8c1b5>http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/eq2form.m?Form=Item.Search.General&slotId=-999&name=master+III</FONT></A></DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

Um I am sure the beta server will be taken down after launch. <div></div>

<P>Well if you take a look at the link, and click on one of the masters, it shows as being discovered on which ever server the character was copied from.  IE...shadowheaven, befallen...etc.</P> <P>It doesn't show as being discovered on the test server.  So doubt this will be deleted.</P>

<DIV>Nope, master 3's arent in the current game, for crafting at all, and if you noticed this when my guildmate found this out yesterday.  Kason a lvl 3 artisan, had discovered several brigand masters... most of them tier 5.</DIV>

<DIV>Hi there - This actually isn't beta testing.  This was other smoke testing that was being done, where the wrong items (Master III instead of Master I) were spawned into the world as part of a standard test suite.  Human error where someone thought they had the right item, but didn't actually expand the listbox out to where they could see the whole name.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The false Master III "discoveries" are currently being wiped by the StationPlayers team, and no spells of this type actually exist on any server. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Locking this one out to keep the response visible - not to stifle discussion.  Thanks for the report. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>- Scott</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
