No Public Beta Testing: good bad for the game?

[IdowhatIwant]

So the complaint everyone is making is if there is a PTR then I will be spoiled.

But, you don't have to look up anything on the PTR, play the PTR, or look up any leaks. If you do so then you have chosen to spoil the content for yourself.

Again the PTR is a tool more for the devs than the players anyways. If they devs need it and can utilize it good, if they don't then they likely won't implement one.

All the MMO I play with public test.
Always end up catering to those who cry the loudest.
It usually not the best outcome, just the most popular one. It broke balance between jobs/class, shift dev time to certain content
Eventually those who cry loudest take over the game

MMOs cater to the loudest, as they then to be the larger group. This game has more casual content and heavily caters to casual players as they are the loudest and largest group. Which is why harder content and class design has suffered a bit over the past two expansions in this game. But the point is none of that had to do with a PTR.
