You don't see many MMO GM's testing things in live production (at least, I personally wouldn't play a MMO with that level of testing / lack of).
hmmm, didn't I touch on this exact point in my post? Fine, whatever, you see it as being overly complicated, I see it as being perfectly common-sense. Don't know what to tell you really. Most of the time if you tell a GM you've found a bug they'll try to replicate it off-line and test it. So copying a broken piece of code to look at in a test environment seems reasonable to me.

If you can't accept that reasoning, I recommend you never ever watch a Hollywood film involving hacking... because your head will explode, "I'm going to take my apple laptop into space and hack into the enemies computer system and win the war..."

I just love the fact that we're having issues with the notion that someone can copy a piece of code... and NOT finding fault in the idea that someone can design a MMO that's totally self-reliant and doesn't need human intervention, and that can counsel psychological issues without needing a human shrink!

Seriously? I mean... really? This is what we're getting hung up on?
