The problem with testing things in any MMO is that so much is contingent upon who decides to log in to the test servers and how much they're willing to play. Ultimately, for all we hate untested dungeons or mechanics or whatever, the only real test for them is to have them go live.
Warhammer Online hasn't had too many problems with their
most recent patch, but the exact pricing of the newly-introduced RvR weapons has been a bit of a sticky widget. So they've done the most responsible thing possible: they've
gone ahead and tweaked the pricing right away.
Low-Renown weapons are the most affected by the price cut, but every weapon has been given a nice drop in cost to make the more accessible. The
full announcement goes into some detail about the philosophy behind it, no doubt part of the
effort at increased transparency from the development team. Best of all, there's no delay in the changes -- they've already gone live and can be enjoyed by all players. So if you feared the long march in
Warhammer Online for a decent weapon from RvR and for RvR, you've had a lucky day indeed.
