Can anyone solve this P99 forum puzzle?

Although you've never seen me in game,
I test every item to make sure they're not lame.
My contributions, however, are largely unseen
by those just interested in the platinum machine.

I used to be on almost every wiki page,
but Someone replaced me; they're coming of age.
How else can you tell what effects items have,
unless you can test them on some random chav?

I'd say Dain Frostreaver but...he does spawn in game...

Indeed he does - and that's why this answer is not correct!

The random number generator?

[Jimjam]

Its an interesting clue but I have no idea the answer.

[kgallowaypa]

Something related to Pain and Suffering perhaps

Interesting responses. Glad I've finally stumped Jimjam.

I'll post an additional verse or a clue in a few hours if no one's getting close.

Edit: We're looking for a proper name; so not a "Thing" but a "Person".
