I've suggested a ... hmmm ... lets call it a "Stratics award" in the past, for MMO's.
It would require possibly a team to facilitate tests of different aspects of a game, ranging from "help tickets" and "server lag" to "replayability at level cap" etc.
My proposal for funding it would be a chip-in. The games that would want to participate could chip in for the cost of the volunteers.
Once a year event, and possibly something that could be months in the making.
Also, bringing back a stable platform for posting guides and reviews. No more "migrations" please. I twitch everytime I hear that word now.
