    You can test builds without wasting gold/time to farm/buy/upgrade it on live.

    To get you pumped for future additions to the crownstore and so you can test drive classes. [snip]

    Anything but beta testing the new 'whatever' & giving ZOS a heads up on bugs...
    but good for getting a handle on the needed workarounds, as well as all the things stated by others above...

    From the developers' point of view, for as many as want to do so to provide some useful feedback to the developers, in the knowledge that not all of everyone's feedback will be adopted all of the time.

    From the players' point of view, to provide some useful feedback to help optimise the new content/experience the new content early/plan builds for a new class/implement updates to addons/steal a march on other non-PTS players in competitive PvE and PvP/learn where the exploits are and keep quiet about them (delete as appropriate).

    On the PTS ZOS is basically looking for bugs, Even then not all bugs can be tested completely nor fixed before live and some simply do not get discovered until live.

    As far as feedback for class changes etc. I do not think ZOS truly is looking for that kind of feedback. I stopped giving feedback on PTS back a couple years ago when they did the big templar nerf/changes. 84 pages in the templar thread for feedback and not one response from ZOS. That was enough for me to stop giving feedback.

    Ignore all feedback and then do whatever they want.

    Profit.
