I suppose the information here was… less than truthful, then.
The post seems to be in response to there being quite a lot of ruckus at the time on the forums, about the supposed ‘core’ playtesters, which have been with FS for a long time, and tends to include influencers, modmakers and moderator volunteers. Not exactly the ideal makeup of a testing group.
I guess what was said was to placate, with no action planned?
