And even then, I've never seen a test server with an even decent population (which partly defeats the purpose of even having a test server, mind you).

And mind you, I'm a strong supporter (and user) of test servers, and I believe that Yoshida actually promised their implementation. Though, they are not a be all, end all solution because of their low population.
Not to mention that most of the people that go there in every game, just do so to get a sneak peek of the changes, without having any intention to actually test and send constructive feedback.
While I agree most people won't test properly I will test my ass off. What they can do is use the first OPEN test server as a way to find out who will actually test the content and invite them to later closed testing. Just an idea even thought it would be a pain to do.
