Why Only Precise, Sharpened, and Defending Weapons?

I'm wondering why there are only certain traits allowed in the pts each round. Are these the traits that have been deemed best-in-slot by zenimax? There are certain builds that seem to suggest even something like infused can be used for dps...so why such a limit on weapon/armor variety in a testing environment?

    In addition: why don't we get the changed proc sets... read: the sets we should test... on the pts templates?

    @ZOS_GinaBruno Can we please get INFUSED weapons, at least, added to the template loot bags? Since it is shaping up to be the new BiS, it's important we be able to test it.

    The garbage available in the Template gear sets is a constant source of annoyance for me. I play on console, but like to try new stuff on PTS since I own it on PC from back in the beta days.

    Can't really test much of anything, because the whole Template setup is awful.

    Aside from the fact that the most-used sets in the game are missing, you have to level crafting/provisioning/alchemy, which is horrible.

    I can't believe that adding the missing sets and missing traits to the Template gear would be all that difficult, but people have been asking for this for as long as I can remember and there's never been a peep from anyone at ZOS in response.

    I also find it amusing that in the current PTS patch notes, they specifically mention that the new gear is omitted because they want people to test existing sets--but nearly all of the existing sets that people want to test aren't available on Templates!

    Argghghghablghghellehghglgll. Annoying as all hell.

    as compared to that scenario....yeah it's better XD. Not sure if I would call it good, though.

    So did this only affect 2 handed weapon traits or 1 handed also?
