Why is this on test?

POPULATION / ZONE PROGRESSIONVallon’s Tower x4 raidLichlord Skulldugger no longer has Greater Shadowed Fury buff.

The raid wasn't tested in the week it was on test, why bother putting a fix like this on test?

Everything goes on test before going to live whether or not people chose to test it. They don't just ninja post things into the game usually.

SOE really need to hire a whole bunch of players to actually test stuff, free subscriptions and SC/LoN perks would be fair payment. Do It!!

Actually there are many times that small changes like this are added to both test and live on the same day.

Absolutely.

Why should anyone use their free time to test a product, for free ? Think about it SOE. Make it worthwhile and you'll get testers.

I agree. There's no real incentive for players to test content; so, almost all content is released bugged/broken/untunned.

Microsoft pioneered the pay to test model when it launched windows, SOE is just following suite. We pay to test there products to make them better. SMILEY

I dont get on test as much as I should but I do enjoy checking out the new changes to the game and trying out the quests. They should offer some more incentives. I know on the normal test server that doesnt get wiped you earn more XP. I wouldnt want to see them give out a free subscription unless it were to an account flagged as test only and maybe beta. What would stop a person from logging in for 30 mins a week to get free game play. I think maybe set it up so that people that normally play on either one can get something like the AA Pots from the facebook game. Just require X hours a week of playtime on test or test copy server. Maybe have them show that they are doing quests to test suff.
