Experienced users? So when nexon figures out how to fix a glitch i guess they dont have any experience users huh? Also worst problems could arise while they are testing that don't make it to the live servers.
Also I didnt ask for your whole ego trip buddy about what you did in your life. Save it for someone who actually cares.
I know she's a developer, I was just saying developers don't necessarily know anything about how their product is really used. And I gave my "ego trip", as you call it, to explain how I know this about developers.
And no, to fix bugs does not require experienced users. To reproduce it sometimes does, which is why we sometimes see -Hime- or her friends post something like "this one proved quite a stumper for our programmers". But to fix them usually requires, well, programming knowledge. The ability to use a debugger and find your way around a core dump, that sort of thing.
And to test... some things can be tested by any part-time college student with a sheet of instructions in the form of "press A. observe that B happens. press C" etc. And some, as we know, only come to light in Tespia or in the live servers, because only experienced users with an actual feel for the game can tell "this isn't right!"
I believe one of the requirements to work for Nexon, definitely as a GM, possibly also as QA, is that you did *not* play their games previously. That's to avoid you being a double agent and leaking stuff to the community, or whatever other paranoid reason they've got. Whatever it is, it's shooting themselves in the foot, repeatedly.
