This is why, though I am on principle not opposed to a PTR, it would have to be for mechanical features only. Sure, let people test PvP abilities, potency changes, etc.. But anything content-driven should be kept well out of it. No MSQ, no new raids. Let players test systems, but not content.

Which sounds rather unlikely to happen cause the dev team already doesn't like people pre-judinging their balancing decisions (hence why they keep it out of patch notes until the last possible moment) and it would force them to maintain a completely separate PTR branch of the game that would likely require extra effort to maintain.
