The previous major update allowed Flytraps to actually move - but this current release once again has them "rooted" as it were - and are back to be stationary

If I recall the fly traps chasing you (moving) came along with the patch they were doing at the time. Maybe the one that everything could go through walls and such. I always thought that was just a mistake, and got set back to normal.

I really don't see any point in having issues with new testers myself. If anything, having the entire open servers open to test would be great. If they worked it right it could be a large improvement. After a few weeks of everyone on test, Disney went through and picked out some people doing some good testing and reporting. Kept these people as live converted over again to normal, would pick out a class of testers that could make more a difference.

Frankly, old or new testers, and this view if they aren't testing much they are booted, I just can't say I am seeing any of that.

Using something like this above example would bring in a new crowd to kill some of this stuff maybe. Another area I think could use some help in test is have some of the staff come in on test now and then and talk to some people, get some first hand views over some of these bugs etc. Perhaps some do as regular characters, but overall I rarely hear a entirely lot of guild chat etc. on bugs, and glitches. Maybe another area staff can come in and set a few guidelines and ideas to testing. I can't say test server has any real guidelines, and such to test, as well as even a idea of certain areas to test that just got a change. I believe this area could use a little more communication, rather than 4 patches with same notes of improvements from start, and reports being sent in hopefully being viewed. At least for me I would rather know this last patch just did something with sailing, rather than running over like 40 other things to finally find this out.

New people also adds another feature, they are starting from the begining and seeing all the quests and such. I know at least for myself, I sure don't go through all the quests constantly, and especially every patch.

I would like to get some kind of response from Disney when I do report a bug, or issue. But when I report I hear nothing back from them. Makes me wonder if they are listening to what I am reporting or just going into a big inbox, where they just skim.

Ah, well well, I would guess that they were meant to be rooted seeing as they are plants. I wouldn't mind them moving at all, as long as I knew if they were supposed to move and wouldn't mess things up. It also feels that when they don't reply, you can never know if they even get them when you are in the game, that's why I tend to send them in a report from their website.

For the past 2 days, on Test, there as been a group of 3 or 4 players hanging out on KH, hassling other players. Their language has been terrible, and they prevent others from playing or testing.

This is a perfect example of the type of person who should not be on test.

Now for the real important part. At least one of these troublemaker players has been on test for a long time, not sure if they are original, or the group from 2008. They are hassling both new players on test, and old timers.

We are on the Test Server to test and report issues. This type of behavior is unacceptable and is clearly an "issue" thus should be reported. When I'm on Test, I look for anything that might impede game play and report it. What Basil has mentioned is clearly a distraction and they have no business being involved in Testing (or Open for that matter).
