As has been said, this is a mere cry for popularity. No one has brought up any good arguments as to why this is a good idea, nor has anyone shown how this is a better system than what is in place now.

This is not a good idea. Why?

1. Anything backed by Tyrial can't be good or has a secret motive behind it that benefits him. (biased, but I felt the need to include)
2. As Kaimetsu said, the team serves no true purpose other than finding bugs. They have no power to actually try to get the bugs fixed. Why must one have to have a title and recognition before they are willing to help Graal?
3. The Delphi code has been refined for a long time now and is pretty solid. The only thing that really needs to be tested for bugs is Graal 3.0. But again, the VIPs are already beta testing this and are reporting the bugs as they are found. I've yet to see a valid reason why a team is required when the bugs are already being found by whom is being allowed to find them.

Does this benefit Graal? No...why?

1. If bugs are found that no one else was able to (not likely), the bugs will still be there. Finding them will expedite the process of having them removed, but there is still no indication of when the bug will be gone. A better solution is to have an experienced programmer working WITH Stefan as to lighten his busy workload and get things done on time for a change.
2. This only benefits Tyrial and the people that he hires. They get recognition and an opportunity to be part of a group endorsed by Stefan. What's worse is that all they have to do is be part of this little cliche. This will be the focus of the group...who is able to stay in...rather than actually getting the bugs fixed.
3. It sends the message that all you have to do is talk to Stefan and be his friend if you want anything done on Graal. Basically, the only way to get what you want here is to be friends with the globals. This is not a good message to send to players. Instead of getting quality staff you are just going to have your buddies. Hence, RC becomes a chat room instead of a place to do work.

Thank you, drive thru.
