Many people are disappointed to discover that the PTRs this time around, currently testing patch 2.3, do not have the Pre-Made character facility available. On the other hand, plenty of people are happy about it (http://www.wowblues.com/eu/ty-blizzard-1152957891.html):

...For not putting premades into this PTR :D It will be awesome playing with people who have mains with proper game experience rather than 12 year olds in it for the "epics".
Admittedly, Blizzard only started the Pre-Made option to get more players onto the PTRs when they needed more people to test them, but large popular patches, such as 2.3, have no need of extra testers; it'll be busy enough.
You can't please everyone, as Blizzard are keenly aware, but Salthem was quick to respond to someone who was actually pleased about a decision they've made for once...
You're welcome :-)
There are arguments on both sides of the issue really, when we have premade character copies there is alot more activity on the test realms that can help with testing, but for 2.3, as evidenced by the character copy queuing issues, everybody wants to try out the PTR, so I don't think population will be an issue, it should be very possible for people to put together a few Zul'Aman runs, and Arena games and so on to test out the talent changes.
