Indeed. The state of DayZ as a testing environment / live game is ridiculously blurry.

[Noises]

Fine. Rapidly running out of reasons to be associated with TOG in this game anyway.

Noises,

DayZ TOG would be a lot poorer if you weren't a part of it.

like 2 months ago on TS:

noises: hey veilo, would you be offended if i corrected your grammar/spelling in your forum posts?
me: I am not that great at english language but i am not a total noob either.
noises: Well i am a writer and all my ancestors were authors or english teachers or both
me: oh in that case, yeah definitely go for it. That's way cooler and actually useful than random noobs just trolling.
noises: ok!

Never heard from noises since.

TL;DR: Your job isn't done yet so don't go.

Also, you're not allowed to leave until you get a real internet connection!

So.. next year sometime.

I think Noises was typing a reply but then his net cut out and his post was all robot language

I think Noises is correct. If you are testing exploits and reporting them on the DayZ forum, then you are fine. But once reported, there should not be any reason to go and test again until a new patch is released. I think if someone was to report you, your arse would be covered if you have posted your findings in the appropriate DayZ forum section for bug reporting.

I don't think it takes a genius to work out of someone is legitimately testing for bugs for the benefit of the alpha developers, and someone who is just taking advantage of a glitch to gain an unfair advantage in the game.

I would be a sad panda if Noises left.

Not leaving TOG, just would rather play Day Z solo, with no clan affiliation, to permit me to play and test in the same way I play and test every other beta I join. Recently discovered the hard way using the TOG TS is more of a liability than I'd thought, can't see any real point in giving intel to bandits playing under the radar.

Still playing Day Z (under another name) and still in TOG. No need for further discussion.
