Why is ptr with boosted bosses and blue items ? So that guilds can have all raids on farm before ptr ends, and when those raids go on live they will 1 shot everything ?
How about nerf the bosses and add t7 gear, so it will be just a bug check and not a progression training.
Every ptr is progression traning. Dont know that is strange here for you. Best way to check dmg/bugs etc is doing content with correct items. Not overgearedQuote:

If there was t7/8 and unbuffed bosses, just about anyone could go there and test if raids are working properly, and not just guilds that are in the race of realm first, for the sole purpose to clear it with blues in ptr and then have no problem on live, while reporting mininal bugs or whatever they cannot deal with.
If you nerf the content bugs will be missed.Quote:

My point was, raids in ptr should be either weaker via buffs or done with slight overgear, if u dont want to see realm first on all raids at day 5.And it will be most likely before 5.Quote:
