I think you guys are missing the point of the concern over the level 500 OTM tester toons.
It is well known that no OTM employees have end game toons or play the game on servers, so the only way they can know whether or not they need to nerf/buff a boss or item is from player feedback or from what they experience on the beta server.
So when a boss on the beta server is un-defeat-able, but you guys can kill it with Esquilax's super OTM level 500 skill and then no one says anything about the strength of the boss, there is an issue. The issue is that this boss will get released like this to the servers, and there will be no OTM super toons to help you guys kill them.
This issue arises a lot throughout the game, regarding things like boss difficulty, raids, the low drop rates of high tiered loot and much more.
As players, we need to voice these concerns and have a realistic test environment that we can give feedback on, because this is the only way OTM will know what the game is truly like for end game players.
So yes, it is cool that we can fight a level 500 in the arena, but it is NOT fun that we can ONLY defeat a boss when that level 500 is there, because that means that on the live servers, that boss will never fall or it will fall very rarely which is NOT want anyone wants.
My sneak peak threads always seem to go off topic
I'll answer some concerns players are having then lock.
Many of the staff have end game toons but do not wish to disclose who they are in-game, I myself made my name known as I am part of the community and enjoy talking to everyone. This has been discussed on a variety of threads.
In the Beta threads I did post a topic discussing how the boss had been changed due to Beta feedback, I am constantly on the forums relaying feedback and suggestions to the team so nothing to fear we do listen to the voices of the players..
The boss has been able to be defeated both before tweaks and after so do not worry come release he shall be defeatable.
We only use our 500 characters to support players during beta and occasionally have a bit of fun
All in-game testing is done on a variety of characters and classes.
While we do like players raising concerns and providing feedback we do ask it is kept to the appropriate boards as it helps myself in relaying to the team and it stops general threads becoming players debating.
Anyway, hope you all had a good weekend
