*snort* Damed if we do, damned if we don't.

People who play on test have pretty much nothing to do with the actual direction of the game -- all we can do is test stuff out that's been put in and find out how and where it doesn't work, and then report on it.

When a Test patch says "Bards can now scratch their noses without using their hands" what we do is try it out. If it uses hands, we report it. If this gets fixed, the Live patch notes will still say "Bards can now scratch their noses without using their hands" -- the only difference is that it'll work as advertised.

Many, many things are being tweaked or downright rumbled around right now, and staff simply can't find all the holes that can be punched in the structure when you toggle WidgetA to Notch8 instead of Notch7. THAT is what a test server is for.

But you're right. If you don't grasp that, you probably don't want to play on Test.
