I did lots of testing during the Beta of Xsyon and submitted lots of feedback and bug reports and it was all possible without any special tools. So if you want to be a tester, then that is great. There plenty of things to test. When doing a variety of actions make sure; the server doesn't crash, the client doesn't crash, the client/server doesn't lag. When performing a variety of tasks make sure; bugs don't appear, the results are as expected. When killing animals make sure; they are visible, they are killable, they produce the correct type of loot. With every patch, test everything all over again. The only thing you really need to test the game or any software application is the application itself. If NG truly wanted Min/Maxing in their game I'm sure they would have included statistic data visible to all.
