And anyone interested in finding this information out can do so. Where is the disconnect, I'm curious? What is giving you the impression that this information isn't readily available?
Anyone - they don't even need to have any expertise in testing - can join a community of other players, dev and Homecoming staff included, to get after the fun and banal aspects of breaking, fixing, and rebreaking the game in the journey towards the Homecoming team's vision. It is as easy as clicking a link, filling out a request, waiting patiently for a reply, and then downloading the separate server on to the launcher.
Even if people don't want to invest their time and effort in to making the game better and would prefer to be aware of the changes on the table, (which frequently change, get rolled back, or saved for later due to further testing) they can do so. There isn't anything stopping anyone from doing so, except their own decisions not to.
I would also caution that expectation management will pay dividends to anyone who thinks being in the know is all there is to enjoying the game. Game development is a process and things change frequently, sometimes due to unforseen circumstances as @GM Impervium mentioned on previous pages. I would offer to also be aware that no amount of time or effort invested will make any player's opinion more valid or listened to - but evidence and methodology go a long way!
