PTS Incentives?

CDNGP

Are their any Incentives for playing on the PTS?. for example on the Everquest test server you receive Double Experience & All Content is Free, yes as in All Expansions etc. are absolutely Free.

Now I don't care about free stuff but! the #1 reason I played on the EQ test server for over a decade was the Double Experience. any such Incentives in ESO PTS? let me guess? No.

TY.

The joy of playing the patch before it hits live so that you can test out new playstyles/builds/ideas.

I don't think an incentive is necessary.

early experience and hopfully making the game a better game...

Thanks for highlighting the important words. Your post is quite large so it helped me get a good summary out of it.

You get to find out how changes affect you, and start making changes now on live server, like train horses, which foods to keep or cook. If you need more incentive than that......oops, don't want to get banned again

Yes & the more people using the test server the better. a decade+ of my exp on a test server? incentives to attract more players to the test sever sure doesn't hurt.

Regardless, I didn't ask for opinions, I asked if their are any incentives? I'll just assume theirs not & wont waste my time on PTS testing the game & being aggravated by bugs etc. for no incentive to do so, theirs enough bugs etc. on live LOL!.

The incentive is you help ensure the upcoming product will be one of quality and one you will enjoy playing.

I wouldn't mind an incentive for the effort I'm putting into helping improve and test the game, but by keeping incentives out they might be keeping the quality of testing higher. Right now people are focused on breaking the system, testing build viability, making sure achievements work, that sort of thing. If you add an easy incentive, though, I can guarantee that a lot of people will download PTS, sputnik around for a couple of minutes, and then uninstall, which is entirely useless to ZOS and, more importantly, the community.

*Edit: I am still getting used to which words are censored, my bad.

by giving incentives people would go to pts just to get the incentives. not necessarily to help improve the game.
