Dev Thinking on Balance?

[Pirateiam]

No insult ment to Newbies, but they often have no idea what they are talking about at any given moment in time and constantly contridict themselves. Beta Testers are there to help provide a service and give perspective to the design of the game, not to whine about personal preference or playstyle.

A "good" Beta testers job is also to take ideas, constructive criticism and possible problems that players (customers) have possibly uncovered and put them to tests with an open mind. It is not to degrade ideas and take a better than thou attitude. I have an open mind, run some test games with betas and come back with a fair conclusions. If this is not currently being done for Ilwinter you are not doing your job. Please refrain from throwing the "newbie" slam around also it does not reflect well on you.
