I guess it's time

Twelve forbid having a good reputation of putting out non-failure content would save them money in development cost. They waste more money and time putting out stuff like LoV or diadem which isn't properly tested to see if its even worth releasing in their current state. A PTS is never a bad thing regardless of how fast a game releases content. Dead content isn't content....

To which I can only respond with the same suggestion I already gave.

Dead content may not be content, and cutting it just before release—which is all a PTR can do when the issue falls outside of small issues of balancing—may save reputation, but it IS wasted art assets and code development, not to mention additional planning time. Giving view of the initial planning stage ideas to stem provide some player sense is the only way the community itself is going to have an impact on development. Short of that, you only impact release.

A PTR can give substantial feedback for things like gear, fight, and player customization tuning, UI adjustments, QoL features, and other system changes that lay a groundwork of code and assets for which modifications merely to the surface or a small part of development can affect the apparent whole. It is not a means to say whether you like a wholly new near-finished product like Diadem and expect that, when you don't, its development time can be retroactively spent elsewhere.
