Retail Incentive for Stress Testing PTR Events

(Edited to include the following sentence)
Echoing my sentiments regarding the PTR, including other issues that incentives would resolve for retail:

PTR ought to be incentivized better. Whenever I have been on the PTR, it was to practice a dungeon or raid per a PVE guild in a very structured environment that did not promote seeking bugs or issues. And if I happened to find a bug in that content, I would report it.

There is so much else to report on. Look at the Bugs subforum: We have the right eye texture of the Dracthyr being incorrect. It appears to be broken on other races too:

And also the monk tier set being broken for the chest, legs, belt and boots for 3D assets:

Monks are still stuck with a broken tier set appearance even weeks after reporting it in-game as a bug and through the forums.


Taking one look at the Bug Report subforum really delves into the ‘why’ incentives would be good.

In an ideal world, we would all be motivated to utilize the PTR and have more people finding bugs through quantity (more eyes on these changes).

Realistically, incentivizing looks like the way to execute it best so that these things don’t make it to live, including a much-needed stress test that can be properly conducted.
