Daybreak is laughing at Beta PoP tradeskill testers

On beta we had boosts to take any character we made or copied to 100. We got tons of plat and status just for clicking a merchant and we could click them as much as we wanted. We could buy all the mats from the merchant, we were not required to harvest. We got full armor sets, the raid armor said that it would not have the same stats if used outside of a raid zone, that didn't happen though.

They provided us everything that was required, all we really had to provide was time. If we claimed any crafting potions on live before we copied, we were able to use those for progress and experience boosts. There was nothing that required a tremendous amount of effort on our part and we got a very a useful familiar that people that did not test had no access to for more than 3 months.

Fair amount of well earned criticism about the game these days, but this.....strikes me as silly.
