Except no gaming company tests for feedback; they test for analytics. Numbers and percentages related to content being done are much easier to read than any (mostly) jibberish that winds up in player feedback, which is why any written feedback is usually taken with a grain of salt. Looking back nowadays of when I took part in the ARR beta, I'm fairly convinced that whatever reasons SE may have had for player testing they believe can be done through in-house testers and mathematicians.

Ironically though, what testing possibilities that could be offered to players wouldn't involve story content at all. The same means that have been stated for testing job gameplay for example (target dummy testing and fight mechanic simulation testing) could be done by players willing to do it at no expense to the company.
