I think a combination of both options would be nice. Obviously we have ppl here who play since KR times and can offer a lot of knowledge. So seeing them working together with the DBOG staff on balance etc. would be dope. Could save some trouble before it starts cuz the ppl with the knowledge could like "stop" a planned balance update cuz they think it would just suck xD
Also what ainttoxic said. There is a high chance of that happening. Some ppl will try to make their main class a little better to gain advantage. And that's why we need a couple of ppl with knowledge, who stop eachother trying to push a class. This would mean they all have to trust eachother. And if someone still tries to push a class to their favor, kick that person out of that group. Easy. Also this would be a voluntary thing. None of that special treatment sh*t. Helping the staff of DBOG to make all the players happy.
