I've played a ton of blizzard games. I've played Diablo, Hellfire, Diablo 2, Diablo2:LOD, Starcraft, Starcraft: Broodwar, The entire warcraft series, infact I still play Frozen Throne. I've played WoW since it came out and have been a true fan to blizzard.

I currently pay for three accounts, and I love this game. I have loved ALL of blizzard's game and support them. Not once, have I EVER been picked to do BETA, EVER!! Am I not valued enough? I know it's "random" but I find hard to believe that the same "random" players get picked over and over again. Why can't blizzard give everyone a chance to do beta? I'd personally like to try it out before I buy it. The only way it seems I can get a beta key is if 1. I'm randomly selected 2. I pay an inflated fee for a labtop supposedly designed for WoW 3. I fly from Virginia to California to go to blizzcon.


I'm sure there are other people that feel the same way. I do understand your beta servers only support so many, therefor you can't have the entire WoW population beta testing. However, I do feel that blizzard rakes in more than enough profit to make those servers bigger and more capable. I guess this is a rant post. Don't take this in the wrong way, I'm just expressing my thoughts as a customer. You guys have done a great job with the game and I am overall VERY impressed with the company. Is it wrong to feel that everyone should be given the chance to BETA test an upcoming game that they plan to purchase?

I understand your perception is colored by your frustration, but it's random, really and truly.

Q u o t e:

Sssh, there's some debate as to whether the last patch, before hotfixes, was even capable of supporting 1 person ;)

Thank you all for the conspiracy theories, but they really aren't that necessary.

The opt-in selection process is quite random.
