Sure. To become a game designer, be over 18, move to Hamburg, and apply to Bytro as a game dev.

On that note how do you become a frontline pioneer?

I've been playing game for 2 yrs and am top 7,000. Does that qualify me?

If you are above level 40, and highly active, you may receive an invitation when a spot opens up. The FP invitations are system generated, so there's no absolute guarantee if/when you'll get one.

Ok. I'm level 89 so I'll just have to wait...

you dont need computer qualifications? i dont know what these new fanfangled things are...

Don't frontline pioneers just provide feedback and inform on bugs?

Yep.

crazyyyyyyyyy kewl

then why do you have to go to hamburg? and also is CoW german?

You typically need at minimum a general understanding of game design and (in this case) freemium design, some if not most companies request at least a basic understanding on coding (typically on Unity, even if the company does not use Unity it allows to prototype quickly and/or it proves that you know the basic dev constraints/logic).

Having played a lot of games does not really qualify for "understanding of game design" (there are a few exceptions for highly competitive players in highly competitive games as it is a way to show one has an extremely good understanding of their game, eg if you are a top 100 worldwide player of Magic then Blizzard will want you to work on Hearthstone - but I don't think it would qualify for CoW).

Bytro is a German company.

Oh, I thought you were asking about the frontline pioneer @GrandEmpire. Yes, to be a dev you have to move to Hamburg and have computer qualifications.

oh well ok
