New test realm patch notes.

The stuff regarding PvE that can't be done internally doesn't require much outside testing[right][snapback]77808[/snapback][/right]

...you aren't seriously suggesting Blizzard's internal testing department is up to the task of discovering all PvE bugs and issues themselves, are you? :whistling:

There are huge numbers of PvE-relevant bugs reported by players. The focus of this public testing seems in most people's eyes to be battlegrounds, but I haven't actually seen anything officially stating that - they just happen to be the biggest thing in the patch. It would seem to be that they want Warsong Gulch tested, but even so that could've been done on a PvE server; all they've learnt from having PvP test servers is that people will try to gank at the opposing faction's entrance, and that having one side's entrance in a safe/hostile area with the opposing faction's entrance in a contested area is perhaps a little silly. Anyone on a PvP server could have told them that for free, though.

So far the biggest problem with the test server that I've found has been the regular disconnects, which have prevented me getting into a battleground to test it.
