So the mandate is having "content creators and expert players" give feedback into development. That's the issue for me ME7. Cognitive bias from OG above what n00bs see and what may or may not have them invest in the game. OG is all and fine, but OG cannot keep RR3 going, imho.

N00bs have a lot to offer in the game This thread made me think of the WTTT changes. Those changes were driven (presumably) by trying to appeal to noobs to increase participation. And it worked really well at that. There has been a lasting ~200% participation increase.

However, FM botched the new WTTT in big ways for high-end players by ditching the split timer and having a cutting penatly structure that was defeated in, what, 2 days. Had FM had the GCs leading up to the WTTT changes, I doubt very much these mistakes would have been made. FM even admitted they didn't realize how important the split timer was to the top players. Had they had SpeedJunkie around, I am sure he would have let them know what's what ;)
