Guild Wars 2

We’ve been seeing more Anet interaction on these forums since PAX, and I’d like to see Anet finally officially address this issue.

Many posters on these boards have called for a Public Test Realm(Server/etc…).

There are a lot of reasons why one is necessary, but I’ll just give an abridged list
- More thoroughly tested changes will result in less bugs/hassle for players
- Anet will be able to take advantage of free playtesting from the community who is interested in more thorough balance changes delivered in a more rapid timeline.
- It will give players sick of the current meta (not just this meta, whatever the “current” meta at the time is) somewhere else to enjoy the game.

Nearly every single patch has introduced issues of varying severity into the game, for varying lengths of time.

The meta that has been prevalent since the end of June is crap – 2 classes are considered nigh useless, and 3 are considered clearly overpowered.

A PTR will address most if not all of these issues handily, and I’d like to hear and understand ANets position on the matter.

If you agree or disagree, please let us know why, but try not to derail the conversation – I’d really like to know Anets plan for a PTR.

This just in; we are the PTR.

Thanks for pointing this out – now I’m just curious as to why we don’t have a PTR. If you have similar concerns, please continue to respond.
