I would hazard a guess you're not watching notes on test server very carefully then. Brotherhoods have been on test TWICE. Neither time have brotherhoods made it off test server. Both times, as Ysh said, those on test have punched holes in them that you could drive semi's through

Has test server helped the game? Absolutely - the bugs you DON'T see are the ones we caught. Sometimes the ones you DO see were caught by us too, it just happens that the devs are swamped with fixes/content/etc as have to prioritize what they fix.

Off the top of my head I can think of a few things that test server has been instrumental in fixing - a bard ability (thank you corlin), brotherhoods not making it to live in their current state (thank you whole server cause lots of us tested them), the revised death/CR mechanic not making it to live (while test was not the only ones who chimed in AGAINST the idea - we were able to provide concrete numbers because we TESTED the mechanic. So thanks to everyone who was vocal and thanks to those who died over and over testing the thing).... just to name a few off the top of my head
