Petition For a Test Server

I think we deserve a test server. To help show EST what we are all worrying about. Problems in the drop rate and problems with crafting and success rate.

discuss

I like how people use the word "problem" to describe the current drop rate and proc rate...

They never changed...

The problem isn't necessarily with the system, but with the player base.
The community on a whole is a hell of a lot smaller than most if not all other versions of the game, including ones that launched after us.
If there was more players, then there would be more high level crafters outside of the main guilds. If there were more players the rate on drops wouldn't be so bad because more items would be found in general which would lower the prices of things in the shop.
A lot of 'stuff' happened which caused a lot of players to leave/get banned/get hacked/etc.
In my opinion I just think holding more events would increase the players base, but perhaps adjusting the rewards in particular for NA may be worth looking into.
On a side note, a test server might be a good idea in general, not because of drop rates and such, but general bug testing.
If my understanding is right, at the moment ESTsoft NA only has Cabal to deal with, so they should have the ability to do it.
That's just an assumption though.
