they're still messing around with code for something that only recently came out, they have to make sure that they test it somewhere that wont cause any damage first. you have access to everything in pbe so losing boxes or something else doesn't matter there since you have infinite rp/ip to use there. When you build something, you take measurements first and make blueprints, you don't immediately start cutting material and then trying to make heads and tails of it later.

It was in the announcement that it was coming live in the next patch.

They have to test their fix. PBE is for testing things. Soooo.....they're testing it on the PBE before they release it to live?

I mean with new stuff like this their fix could do something crazy like...remove people's boxes they already won/paid for. They can't just throw that shit out there and hope it all works fine. Could cause terrible results to customers.

Funny you say that because none of the suggestion in PBE go Through, Furthermore, its literally fixing a bug, not exactly doing some balancing.

Bug fixes often create more bugs, which then also have to be fixed.

PBE is MORE for bugfixing/catching bugs before they go live than it is for balance stuff. Yes they try balance stuff on there, but even balance stuff can cause bugs, and that's more what they're looking for than actually trying to balance the game off of PBE gameplay. So the key % fix is exactly what the PBE is for.
