Not a bug. Thatâs how PTR copy works and is intended to work.
This is a case of PEBKAC. Youâll just have to start again. Hopefully someone can give you a PLVL. Then you just need some shards for Djank and youâll be away laughing.
Edit:
Jazz is 100% correct. Maybe instead of being abusive you should know the EULA contents you signed up to.

I mean, you wonât get arrested for it or anything, but you donât own the account and can not share it under the terms of use we agree to. Not that anyone would know if someone did when it is from your house and your computer.
The exception is that you can make an account in the name of the legal parent or guardian for one minor child to play. When they turn 18 it can be transferred to their legal name with the proper documentation.
If your wife wishes to play, she needs to be on her own Battlenet account in her legal name.
As for the copy, that is not a bug. Copy over writes everything on the PTR when you copy over Live.
Working as intended.

I owe the game I owe the account , Iâm a lawyer in UK, would you like contest my knowledge about intellectual or creative possession? I donât care what you have in US I have purchase game on UK rights of acquisition , so get your lazy arrrrse moving and do your work instead looking for excuses to do nothing and get paid for it âŚ
No one here works for Blizzard.
We are all just Players, even Miss Cheetah, who does not get paid and cannot fix things.
That being said, it is still not a bug. That is how PTR Copy works.

No, no you donât.
P.S. I donât work for Blizzard. MVPs are other players, not Blizzard staff.
If you were a lawyer, you would bother to read the terms. You donât own your Bnet account nor do you own the game, or any items in it. You bought a license to access a game on Blizzardâs servers providing you follow the policies.

The PTR copy is not bugged. It is SUPPOSED to replace everything on the PTR when you copy over your Live account.
You made a mistake and that is unfortunate, but it is not a bug.

That was really uncalled for, you know.
It was your mistake, not Blizzardâs.

Read Yourself again , there is nothing about time investment and Game progression , Bent is the name of the service , ACTi vison Blizzard is name of company that is managing my intellectual creative property as game progression , you still have something else to say , please be quiet I hate when people quote things that they donât even understand ⌠now you make me thing you are one of that small minded unfulfilled in real life person that try to intervene and invest themselves in matters that do NOT ! include them , have yourself a love day lass GN
You donât own that. If you think you do, feel free to read the EULA and have your lawyers contact their lawyers. The info is in there. You can also reference the Legal link at the bottom of the website.
Have fun!

Can you really be that upset about progression in PTR?
In a few days, all of our so-called âaccomplishmentsâ will disappear.
You allowed someone access to your account and she overwrote the PTR by copying.
Nothing anyone can do about that.
This is a domestic issue, not a legal issue or a Game Bug.

Whatâs really sad is, this is NOT even the Live game. Itâs the Public Test Realm.

No . I just donât understand why people that have nothing to do with service I am using trying to interject themselves to situation ? Do you ? Can you read My First post? Is it targeted at MVPs or Service users? No to all above . It is tagged to Bizz as of Bizz employees. So I would appreciate that MVPâs or service users without even having right to do so or appropriate knowledge stop interjecting them selves to matters that donât involve them , I want answer from Bizz or ACTi vison Blizzard Spokesman/Employee not you guys , why you are even here , you not testing new Op season them ⌠Sheesh!!! I hate when people bring out my dark sarcastic ways of dealing with them âŚ
Blizzard never answers in Bug Reports.
If QA team determines that there is a Bug, they will try to reproduce it and fix later.
I refer you to the Sticky: How to write a good Bug Report.
PTR Copy Overwrite is NOT a Bug.
Edit: This must be your first time in PTR. Copy has always worked like that.

So you have nothing real to say and resort to really silly insults?
You wonât get one.
Because the forums are for players to discuss the games with other players. QA does read the Bug report forums but rarely responds unless they need more information.
There is no bug here. Hence there is nothing for QA to do. The PTR copy is working as it is intended to work.
YOU are the one at fault here for Live copy happening for the consequences. Have fun leveling up a new Season char for testing.
Nothing on the PTR will copy back to Live either. It is only for testing.

OMG. You are so Rude!
We try to help and explain and you lash out with Ad Hominem attacks.
I doubt that a Judge/Magistrate would approve of that in your stated Profession.

You should probably stop assuming. It is certainly causing you issues tonight.
- You assumed PTR copy was bugged when it is not.
- You assumed your spouse was allowed on your Battlenet account, when they are not.
- You assumed ages, vaccination status, lifestyles, etc.
- You assumed that Blizzard replies to the Bug Report forums. QA reads, they do not reply, esp when something is not a bug.
To correct your mistaken assumptions. Hopefully so that you donât make the same mistakes again with PTR copy or account access.

Suspect this âlawyerâ is not practicing in England given their low literacy on display.
Block the fool and mute the thread. Theyâve been given an answer multiple times now and have refused to accept it or the additional explanation about account sharing⌠Donât worry MissC, the regulars know who you are.

From what others have stated regarding progress through PTR, it should take about 3 Nephelam Rifts to have infinite supplies, since one can get a bag for 50 shards that contains the Challenge Rift which has more shards and such. Thatâs like⌠probably half an hour, maybe one full hour. Once you can get the infinite, anything else is just âmehâ since it is nothing more than a grocery list of fetch quest turn-ins.
There really is no progress in PTR. It is absolutely about testing. Especially considering nothing you do in PTR has any lasting consequences - you receive nothing permanently, no flag, no award, no paragon, gold or items, etc., when the PTR ends.
Heck, if I were doing PTR and it reset Iâd probably consider that a benefit as it would allow me to try the track in a different light and see if I could do it faster, or more interestingly.
