THIS! Dont make me farm Soul Shards on the PTR again!
I'd even say add coins/bijous to the vendor aswell, so people can properly test the reputation part of ZG. Might aswell add all the Primal Hakkari stuff, so we wont have to hope for the correct items to drop, to be able to test the set bonuses and whatnot. Add the Heart of Hakkar aswell, if you did that with the Head of Nefarian the current issue with it not buffing that Rallying cry thingie, might have been reported and fixed before release ;)

Just saying, if you want us to step it up and properly test stuff, give us the proper tools!
Starting with a proper vendor.... proper proper, love that word :D

ps: Lemme know if you need a list of item ID's for that vendor.

Brilliance will not be participating in PTR on our main raid days, but that's the time ZG is scheduled to be opened. I know for a fact that alot of guilds raid Wednesday somewhere between 18:00 and 24:00, so I imagine we're not alone in this.


Most guilds testing on PTR are doing it on their 2nd/3rd raid days or they add an extra raid day.
If you need X raid days to clear current content then you raid on PTR during the last raid day or you add an extra raid day for PTR.

Guilds which can't be asked / can't organize to fit 1h-2h extra raid times in their current weekly schedule can only blame themselves for their lack of organization instead of pointing their fingers at the staff who took the least worse decision regarding when PTR should be opened and for how long.
The first testing period lasts 1 full week. If you can't fit one or two more raid hours in your schedule, it's your problem.
The reporting of bugs during PTR period aren't the issue.

Just saying because I disagree with previous statements : you can easily do PUG UBRS. Good luck clearing all of ZG as a PUG if you don't have the right setup / circle of regular and brained ppl joining. As a guild you can do UBRS eyes closed, you still need a minimum of focus and organization for ZG.

Also I believe ZG scripts for bosses mechanics are far more complicated than BWL ones. On top of that, ZG has 10 bosses which need to be tested and fixed if need be while BWL has 8. You can also take into account the fact ZG has way more quests than BWL, herb & vein nodes, etc.

EDIT : To follow Brain's post, I'm thinking of Blood Scythe + mats for Gurubashi Mojo Madness added to vendor which would also ease/speed up the testing process.

The dragons are patch 1.8.0 so how about no? But you probably knew that and don't give two shits about progression balance?
