^Like I said I probably missed sth.....but what's the good reason that ppl play normal version instead of PTS?

I mean...crown store free, faster new content, no need for farming gear, and if I get it right it doesn't even close/erase data?

Sooooo....what's the reason not to? anyone can tell me what did I miss?

    It's wiped every release from what I understand.

    It is even wiped during the PTS release cycles from NA characters to EU characters to template characters. Essentitally any character on the pts is wiped about every 1-2 weeks

    Yup.

    When a new build of the game is added, characters are wiped and PC-NA characters as of a few days before on live are copied over. Midway through testing, those are wiped an PC-EU characters are copied from live to the PTS.

    Well, PTS is always more buggy than the live server, your progress won't get saved to the live server, and it's wiped after the testing is over.

    It syncs with the one life server sometimes (erasing your progress if you don't play on live), has a lot of bugs and goes down completely from time to time.
    Also, if you already have everything what are you going to do all day? I would get bored soon if I got everything already.

    Because I prefer a more polished product and would like to make progress with my existing character.
