Moderating the beta hasn't helped me, not sure what you're trying to say here. Playing and testing it helped me understand the mechanics and helped the devs understand the bugs. Well, most of the bugs at least.
Without being active, you can hardly weed out the errors and try to convince the higher-ups of some gameplay/UI improvements, can you?
... still trying to have the farming villages sorted alphabetically in the overview, only God (aka head dev) knows why they are listed by island number....
Yeah that is annoying as heck! That overview is buggy too. The javascript to select available cities and the web service call for executing a demand/loot takes too long.
