I refer to the act of using the fake crowns on the test realm to train a pet to find out in advance what talents it will unlock. I discovered a solution to this that's easier than not having mega snacks on the test realm. Currently the talents a pet will unlock and in what order are decided from the moment the pet hatches. But if it wasn't pre-set and the random number generator doesn't choose the talent until it's time to unlock one, any results they get on the test realm wouldn't be informative at all, since they would probably get a different talent on live. It allows pets on the test realm to be trained quickly so new ones can be tested at high levels, and would have no real effect on current gameplay. It would also make things easier on the servers, since they won't have to remember the talent unlock orders any more. Frankly, I'm surprised no one's thought of this yet.

Why, exactly, do you think this needs changing? I am sure most pet enthusiasts are happy the way it is. Have you also considered that your solution would involve a lot of reprogramming?
I am curious to hear what your issue with this is honestly.
Re: An easy solution to test realm talent prevewing
While an interesting idea, that I'm certain others have had, including myself, it would require a rehaul of everything to do with pet talents. It'd take quite a bit of work for very little reward. While I'm not very much a fan of the way things are now, they work well enough.
