Unfortunately the flame the noob response converted her from gearing up to be a serious tester who knows how to systematically work on breaking code, to a casual troller for the past six months. You are making the right move for the future of SWGemu.

This is true enough. Here's our opportunity to cultivate better beta testers. Can anyone who is very experienced testing games to the breaking point write a short FAQ or Guide to testing the SWGEmu? Maybe have several people collaborate on it? I am more than willing to try.

Here's my idea for sections to discuss:
What actions and responses to look for, in general;
What mechanics to look at, in general;
How to report;
The most efficient report form structure;
Where to ask questions for specific subjects, etc. (Maybe have a subsection for links to each profession coorespondent's FAQ and testing concerns, irc addresses, chat info)

Then maybe put the finished document in the main faq for easy location by newbies.
