Regardless of which server you're on, it is still an "active" game, and not a test server. To think that everyone will just leave you be to do your own thing seems a little nieve (seriously, have you never played an online game before?).
The ONLY way you'll avoid this is if you can somehow manage to fill the match with only people who are in on the testing and who you can trust not to interfere. Good luck with that.
Otherswise, unless they introduce either a test server or private matches, you'll just have to test at your own risk. |

Aeon Amandi and his crew has been invaluable lately. Then give them a test server. The CPM endorses cheating now? Saber you can **** right off. Test that. Cheating? if you want to black and white everything, Killing an ally in a non-FF allowed game is considered cheating as well.
To a random bystander, "testing" could look a lot like boosting.

(and, conversely, boosters could easily claim that they are "testing") I won't argue that but from what other people who 'tested' boosting its is a crap tonn of work for so little gains. The AFK system currently almost discourages boosting but soon as AFKing gets fixed I expect boosting to become a thing.
That's not really what I meant.
If I was in a game, and I happened upon two opposing players, one allowing the other to shoot him repeatedly, my first thought would probably be that they were boosting or cheating, not that they were testing weapon damage (as a hypothetical example).
At the same time, two players who actually were boosting could easily claim that they were simply "testing", in order to continue their cheating unabated.
Personally, I've always been big on testing, myself. I'm curious that way and like to know how things work. Unfortunately, testing in a live game environment is not without it's challenges and difficulties, and interferrence from other players is inevitable and should be expected.
This is EXACTLY why test servers exist in the first place, so testers can do their thing, free from interruptions such as these. |
