The game was literally unplayable that day, because playing was risking losing your items. Stuff like that is what makes me question Blizzard's ability to maintain a game. I think Blizzard should just come up with the ideas, and let someone else actually run the game.


Like EA?.. or something.

Anyone would be better than Blizzard.

Anything on the PTR generally makes it onto Live, unless it was a beneficial change. It sounds cynical, but there are literally tons of game-breaking bugs like the one you listed that make it from PTR to Live, it's pretty hilarious.

I think that was the patch on PTR where they were testing the idea of Devastate attacking with both weapons a la Stormstrike, which was removed for doing "too much damage". I was hopeful too, it would have meant I could actually play my Warrior outside of a Raid/Instance.
