Disgusting.. countless people opening up their hands, wanting sweets on TQ for 2 hours of their time, where it actually benefits some of them the most, and at the same time there are volunteers hedging the noobs/rookies and hunting bugs all the time.

It was mentioned by CCP that the data does not seem to support that polished quality sells better than new features.
Mass testing = polishing data = not computing with data.
I recommend CCP devote more time to Xbox than mass wasting time.

I bet if you gave out another ship that didnt really do anything youd get alot of people to turn out.
or put a mail in everyones box saying "show up-500k free skill points" that noone can cry when they didnt get the memo

If we win, you will remove those ghost super capitals from the game and promise not to interfere with battle results again.

CCP Tanis, how about giving something back to the community(people who were on the mass test on sisi ofc). Those poeple did help CCP so I think it's fair you give something to them. Either ISK or items like ships and all that.
I would love to get a BC just to test the server.

I will bet 1000 skill points that >500 will show.
And for every person over 500, I want 1000.
Deal?

NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
how about, if we win, you have to fix a bug?
not like lag, but like... maybe a UI that is less excruciating to use than being drawn and quartered?

Our time isn't really free - CCP would get much better participation if they gave us something in return (other than fewer bugs). Just compare this:
- EVE costs a monthly fee and bug-hunting gets customers nothing (well apparently we get CCP Tanis promising to do silly things)
- Mozilla makes free software and gives away $3000 for reporting security flaws
How to PVP: 1. buy ISK with GTCs, 2. fit cloak, learn aggro mechanics, 3. buy second account for metagaming

Incentive for players to log in sisi and help test is one thing
WHAT BOTHERS ME IS: FIXES TO THIS GAME SOMEHOW REQUIRE THE BENEVOLENCE OF THE COMMUNITY
I mean, wtf kind of keystone operation is this?
Has anyone suggested manditory CCP staff all log in?
Has anyone suggested programing a client simulator that can mimick and replicate multiple users???
How the hell can the functionality of the game depend on player volunteered testing?
Well it gives a very simple and grim answer to 'what kind of qq goes into patches'
Basically a "well let's hope this works" and then a "we'll ignore the issue / pretend it's something else" for a goddamn year.
Any software developer worth their ilk would at least consider rolling back bad code revisions when the player base tells them they don't work.
CCP's solution? Randomly poke at things for season after season and begging hundreds to thousands of their players to assist for free.
You lot know we pay for the game right?
Oh, that's right, no one in CCP management gives a flying **** about that. They owe us nothing, we owe you everything.

I'm sitting here thinking that the suggestions tossed in by the original post while amusing, really don't have enough punch. Making a spectacle of yourself among your workmates is not nearly as humiliating as doing so in public.
If we the players bring it, I suggest that not only Tanis, but several other members of the staff make cardboard cutouts of their favorite spaceships, wear said cutouts to a local shopping center, and run around the shopping center making load "pew pew" noises at each other.
Failing that, I'll settle for Tanis dressing up like Brumhilde, complete with the blonde braides, singing his choice of lyrics of Wagner's "Ride of the Valkerie" in the original German while on top of the CCP corporate building.
There are my suggestions. Now players, make it so!

THIS. Goddamn it THIS. Someone be sure to record it and stick it on youtube.
A less awful UI would be nice though... nah, I'll stick with the more realistic choice.

As a software developer, my suspicion is that the mass tests are nothing more than an attempt by the devs to show that they are doing something to fix the lag. The reality is, most likely, that the code is such a mess that they have lost any hope of understanding, much less being able to fix, it. This is consistent with the focus on developing new features unrelated to old (uncomprehensible) code, instead of trying to fix issues in it.
Statements that players stress the server in unique ways would have been plausible if large-scale fights only lagged out occasionally. When every single fight with 500 or more players is laggy as to be near-unusable, when nodes with 1000 players crash as a rule rather than the exception, reproducing the issue requires no participation from real players, and no development of "sentient AI".
Step A: Place 500 ships on a gate grid and have 500 more attempt to jump in.
Step B: Profile/debug until every jumping ship loads grid within a reasonable time.
Similarly simple scenarios could be devised to profile other manifestations of lag.

Sorry TL;DR
Give the first 500 people who log on 100k sp and everyone else 50k if they attend the mass testing. The SP wont cost CCP anything plus it will solve their needs of trying to get people on. I bet we can crash that server to. Hell I bet if the testing started at 2:30 in the morning people would set their alarm clocks just so that they wont miss it, not to mention the amount of ALTs that they would log in with as well.

Of course they don't have enough punch. He's being silly in order to raise awareness and advertise, and thus get more participation. If you want punch, this:
- If enough people show, Tanis keeps his job, if not, he gets fired.
That has punch.

give everyone 100k free skill points that shows up. It's win win for everyone. |

Skill points should never be acquirable through in game or out of game means like this (refunds for uber downtimes are fine). This would be a major shift of Eve as a whole, and if it were to ever happen there would need to be round table discussions at CCP and dev blogs. This would be a huge change that would need to be planned extensively (how else to acquire SP).
