It is only an idea but I doubt very seriously if HiTech or Pyro or anyone at HTC is insecure enough to believe that someone posting an idea to generate IN or OUT water-testing is a threat to their business or an attempt to tell them how to run their business.
If they have already thought this idea through, hey...I will be the first to admit I'm not smart enough to come up with an orginal idea, but maybe, just maybe some folks might like an opportunity to help HTC, themselves, and new players.

Changeup
Its well intentioned enough Changeup trouble is it creates the collective effect on the community that some how the games makers are 'grasping at straws?' and has a snowball effect were people chip in their opinion, if left unchallenged the opinions will get more vocal. Theres already a thread inspired by this one, people seeing more of these threads side of side will leave a negative opinion on customers that the game is in trouble or that the makers are inept.
Go read for instance the Warbirds forum, I get a negative impression reading that, and that the game is in trouble some of the ideas by players are straight up ridiculous but it seems the games makers almost there almost encourage it for fear of offending people.
