    I kind of find it hilarious that a lot of people say they don't care about what other people do in this game yet someone suggests something that would benefit nearly everyone, people say that it shouldn't happen because some other people might have an advantage in content they wouldn't even do in the first place.

    Quite the funny and hypocritical stance.

    The 'advantage' negates the purpose of the PTR.

    How so ? People can test the fights, find bugs and glitches that are there (which there were at early ScoB but still made it live). Yes it might give raiders an early advantage in the fight but then again, why do people care about the advantage it gives raiders in a race to something they wouldn't even partake in for quite some time in the first place ? Or does that not caring about what other people do only applies when it's advantageous to you ?

    Sadly, it's well known that people mostly use PTRs for gaining prior knowledge on everything which sometimes delays content because devs tend to change stuff around or implement the "feedback" - very rarely do you see it used for actual bug squashing. So in some extreme examples, it does work, it's not so much the 'advantage' you gain with the preview, it's the fact the purpose of it is rarely why it gets used, making it honestly a waste of resources. This is why some have them yet have extremely long content cycles.

    The only reason people are, once again, calling for one is because of 'Hunt', which SE has stated three times now was a last minute addition.
