implement CTE (community test environment) as a mode like SSF or HC in POE2

Devs, love the game and passion from you all and I can see it in your online post and feedback and updates as of late.

I think it would be nice if you could implement a mode/league on the basic premise of CTE in other games in which you can make rapid balance changes or try some really far-fetched ideas like for example implement top 3 ideas that you pulled from a reddit pole or twitter exc...

I think if a player that would want to participate in CTE mode would not mind nerfs or changes because he signed up for it when he picked it aka less hate to devs from community and real feedback.

Also to combat bricking character make some aspects of the game free like accension and atlas tree or give us unlimited gold so we can more easily test stuff and give feedback on characters items exc..

In my opinion every game that had CTE and was in touch with the community trough CTE had amazing feedback and success like Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 1 or Battlebit all amazing games from the top of my head, there are for sure many more I'm forgetting.

Don't let this early access go to waste and build hate because you were tip-toing around player with nerfs/balance changes.

if a player signed up in selection screen with a warning message what CTE is he is a type of gamer that is passionate for your game and isn't afraid to lose progress on character or mad bc balance bricked it.

POE leagues generally are the test for core features. The first two weeks of a league are the testing phase, changes get made, then we ride out the fun until next league.

i think its better this way bc changes can be implemented before the league even starts and we can test far more and they can get far more data with 10000 of us than 20 of them.

Just look at the community around specters they LITERALLY tested EVERY available specter in the game to try to find the best one there's an excel spreadsheet in Ghazzytv video on YouTube.. but point is the community can doo much more than GGG in terms of testing bc we are FREE labor and we love the game
GGG just slapped a formula on specter and said fuck it figure it out bc we don't have time and now they have a excell document on 425 monsters that they can balance and make playable next or this league.

if cte was in, huntress LS wouldn't be 50% plus of the player base and its a simple formula more data = more bug fixes/balance

if you sign up for cte you can't bitch about balance bc you aren't playing a league you are TESTIN aka you can't cry bc it doesn't touch the current league
if you want to play the current release you still can if you want help GGG you play around in a kind of sandbox environment of CTE and TEST.

CTE is smack in the middle, it isn't a test client it the middleman between live client and test client with a whole bunch of data potential.
