I'm attempting to compile some feedback from the PTS but I'd really rather be spending my free time playing the actual game that I subscribe to. I get the need for feedback, but I want to play the game I'm paying for, not spend my time being a free QA tester. ZOS knows what accounts log in to the PTS, why not kick crown gems or something to the players that spend their time doing this.

    instead of depending only on in-studio QA and players may be it won't be bad idea ZOS to consider also hiring external QA agency...

    Especially this patch, they really should get a wide variety of data and input since it's such a huge change in how combat is played- this is a core fundamental change.

    The more types of players giving feedback, the better it'll be for them to make informed decisions instead of their in office-discussions and theories.

    Exactly this. Why would anyone bother, when it always seems like nobody actually pays attention to legitimate PTS feedback.

    It sounds like feedback is regularly ignored anyway, so why should I spend my time when I could be building up my large number of alts testing things out on the PTS that will have no long term impact?

    I wish the pts was available on stadia, nothing to download and fast log in's to check simple things.
    #1 tip (Re)check your graphics settings periodically - especially resolution.

    PTS isn't for feedback to adjust the "big" changes, it's only for tweaking what they've already decided to do.

    By the time PTS hits, that patch has been worked on for probably 6 months internally, 6 weeks isn't going to change a thing.

    Honestly I want to know what data is convincing and helpful so I can provide it.

    What's persuading to the dev team?
    I'll happily do a vMA or a vVH on the PTS and log it all to esologs if it's not a waste of my time.

    I can jump on PTS and smash out some parses on 21m, 6m, 3m dummies to see what works and what doesn't, but I don't know if that's useful to the devs.

    It's basically just a playground that the teachers are letting us play in since we've been good boys and girls. We can ask for anything we want, but the teacher will just say "we'll see" then make decisions on their own without considering what we asked for. Basically, ZoS sees us as children and doesn't really take what we say into account in the PTS. Just watch, the VAST majority hate the most of what's happening with this update, but ZoS won't do any major changes.
