PTR and Test Realms

Having been on the ptr and these other test realms i have a couple of suggestions.
Instead of testers waiting for a GM to come along to give you a boost, money, gear, or have to stand in a line for any of said things. Why not create a vendor in the starting area with up to lvl 20 gear. As soon as ya log in you get boosted automatically to the appropriate level for whatever testing will be conducted. Also in your inventory you should be given the amount of gold youll need for testing / buying appropriate level gear from a vendor (in the starting area) as soon as you log in..... It would save a lot of time, frustration and confusion. One shouldn't have to run all the way to another node to buy gear and run back just for testing purposes given a limited amount of time. Also add a damn Mount to the vendor so you don't have to do the quest over and over and over for every test.
.
Also, instead of wiping characters on test realms.... leave them so you don't have to go thru all of this craziness repeatedly.
also, while i should know the answer to this, i don't. I will have to assume....... that at some point there will be multiple starting areas (like lionhold) based on your race, so you don't have 10 k people all logging into the same spot.
additionally if you want people to test multiple things or areas.... If you teleport a bunch of people to one area, please have the decency to teleport them back to lionhold or to the next area you want tested. i.e. don't teleport us to the desert and then say, go across the entire map to test this other thing, given there is a short amount of time for testing. This stuff is annoying......... please use some common sense, otherwise people wont want to participate in testing and you'll end up with a dead PTR at best. ....
made this as a new post so i don't have to repeat myself endlessly like some deranged tester.
