I've already suggested
better alternatives to help developers. While the Testbed Server
can help you, the most effective way to learn, from my own personal experience, is to actually participate in a creating a playerworld.

Right. And the servers they join are exactly the types of servers that this plan proposes to remove. As Chris said, what makes you think a thoroughly planned development project will be willing to take on a newbie who doesn't really know what they're doing yet?

if you switch it anyone can practice on any free server... I dont see how changing the system would make it worse.... I only see good things happening.

"Free" can have many meanings and doesn't have to refer to the monetary cost. The OP's proposed playerworld system is most certainly not as free as the current because it greatly limits who can develop.
