I was thinking about this for a while but now that given everything that is happening in-game there is no reason we shouldn't have a public test server. Granted only pc players would have access to it. It would help to iron out most of the problems in the each future content before they're released to everyone.

I know that the game isn't even a year old yet but this is really needed so that the content is enjoyed by everyone.

example: If we had it before 2.3 was released we would have see how flawed the hunt system is and it's reward system. The Hunts would've had a higher hp pool then what is has now. And maybe could have added a alchemist recipe to do something with clear demimateria instead of selling it to the npc.

But those are my thoughts. Anyone else thinks we need a test server?
