I can speak to the value of this from my intimate experience with WZ pre-liberation.
As a community we were very fortunate to have such an individual whose efforts in this area were central to everything WZ including liberation and by extention, this present reality.
This is what he brought to the table as leader of the WZ Playtesting Team for 6 years:
1.) Bonafide leadership skills: bold, broadly knowledgible, indefatigable, considerate and genuinely caring but not afraid to call out bull chit in terms of pure critical thinking and logical soundness with a flair for wit and good humor.
2.) Excellent interpersonal communicator, keeping all stakeholders in the loop and a good writer.
3.) Innovative, Pro-level MP Player & founding member of the original (and still respected all these14 years later) RBL Clan.
4.) First class, innovative, Mapper and Modder.
5.) Superb recruiter (and developer) of new talent and team members.
6.) Laison between international WZ communities and teams.
7.) Deeply committed to actually evolving WZ in ALL 3 play modes towards realizing its full potential as one of the great RTS games of all time.
8.) Advocating for WZ in the greater RTS world.
Some here will easily recognize who I was refering to. For those who donot, his nick is 4nE.
That's just about all I know on this score in a nut shell.
I would also add that this vacuum persisting is an Achilles Heel with pervasive ramifications.
