I can't figure out why so many people are doing old content on the PTR. Not just level 70 raids, but 346 Heroics. Somebody help me, it hurts. If they want transmog gear, wouldn't that time be better spent on live? It... hurts...

Did you know that you can even play on the PTR while your main account on the live server is frozen?
Maybe they just want to play the game to find out if they want to pay another month for it or not.
That's what im doing atm.
To test how their (changed) abilities work in a known environment that doesn't require real teamwork and leadership (as opposed to raids)? Just my guess.
Life is short Glory is eternal
Trying out other classes using that premade character thing?
Also note that Europe still can't copy their chars to PTR, only premades from a US trial account, so they might wana see how trans works, but have no gear.
I had no idea! that explains a lot. Thanks.

I didn't think any classses were getting any major changes.

What a bummer that is.
Did you know some people play this game because they enjoy playing it, not because they are loot whores.
2/10.
Its frustrating to know theres people in EU ptr in premade gear (thats 4.1 premade gear, so I've heard) and doing ICC for achievements and mounts.
Nope. Cant copy chars to EU atm (was open briefly). It would be miracle if they had mere hour long queues..they always go to 5-7 days. Theres no way EU would have 168 times more people queueing for PTR copy :|
And no, this is not transmog thing. People have always done old raids (ulduar at icc patch) and every cata ptr its "Come run ICC with us for mount m8"

Saw today a pug for ulduar glory on 10 man on PTR
saw a rogue trying to get a group for BWL on the PTR. why would you put yourself through that for no reason lol. it hurts my brain too.
Dont see why you would care : |
Some people just want to mess around on a class/spec they don't have. Going into well known places where strategies don't matter as much is a good way to get a feel for it. If it's for playing around on a new toon, learning rotations or simply to watch the different animations that's fine with me.
What does get to me on the PTR are people who feel the need to make a big gold pile. Kinda cute to copy your char a few times and send the gold over to buy w/e, but to actually try and make a market on the PTR, which will be gone eventually boggles me a bit.
yea id assume its because there main account is frozen so theyre playing the ptr instead
I like to go and solo old stuff with premade chars.. its fun.
And the point of the game is to have fun. its not a job. people only care about getting gear.
What confuses me are how people make raiding guilds on the PTR. Theres no time for that! XD

They don't solo it though. Thats the weird part. I kind of feel dirty not doing the new PTR specific stuff anyways while on the PTR. We're kind of abusing the system if we aint bug testing. XD
Speaking of running old content, I ran a TK on the ptr once. Ashes dropped and I won. It made me want to cry because it was not live.
OT: I mainly do it to test out a new class that I want to play but not sure if I'd like at max level. It's painless and easy to do that way.
