Dear PGI,
After talking with a number of people, they don't see the point in "wasting time" on the PTS - they feel the benefit more from just running in the main game instead of testing.

I'd like to see some kind of reward provided to testers.
Here are some ideas:

• Get MC rewards based on numbers of drops (quick or lobby) credited to production game account
  
• Transfer earned Cbills and to production game account
  
• Transfer earned mech experience to production game account

Now, I get that these could be pretty hard, having to set up some kind of account transfer, tracking software, blah blah blah.

So here's something maybe a little easier:
For each PTS session, offer up either a free mech with a Crash Test Dummy pattern, or a just set up a pattern available to players for certain specific mechs.


It doesn't even have to be a very good or popular mech, just something that people can earn for testing out whatever it is you want them to try.

Obviously there should be a minimum value of testing that people should achieve to get this special mech, pattern or decal.

I'm imagining Centurions, Urbabmechs and the like running around with Crash Test Dummy patterns.
Possibly after enough tests, a Test Pilot title.
