Seconded to Mr. McGee. And in this case, it's not even some hypothetical "your input might have made a difference" speech. We can see right here, in this very article, that people who chose to try out the changes and register their complaints about them got Mythic to hold off on the IB changes and continue tweaking them. (I don't know if you even bothered to follow the PTR, but they already relaxed the restrictions a few times before deciding to push them back entirely.)

Of course, perhaps one should blame developers who ignore disastrous PTRs for conditioning people to assume that the PTR is more of a "free preview" than a "beta test" and that any changes that make it on the test server are going live, regardless of whether they work. I can only hope Mr. Gutts comes to realize this is clearly not the case with WAR.
