Oh, my good man, you’ve not been paying attention: above I’ve linked a thread from June-July, where, by the way, the esteemed horsy and yours truly had already participated then.
Well, it is what it is… I believe we’ve already discussed it elsewhere.
Personally, I wouldn’t mind if the mode was considered beta, and we were testers — the problem is, so far the communications has been… lacklustre even regarding issues already tested and reported by the community.
PS
I understand that the purpose is also to collect confirmed bug reports — I’ve seen a number of topics where either I could not reproduce the issue or people have been outright bad at reading patch notes, obscure as they are, or doing any kind of search on the forum before posting and reporting non-existent ‘issues’ (party-specific equipment is probably the most common by far, from what I’ve seen) — not to mention a lot of duplicate posts or threads.
