I want to point out that I bought the most expensive version of the game right when the pre-order opened, got CE in the last Raid Tier (mainly because CE players have a higher chance of getting BETA invite), have +200 +15 M+ runs, +125 +20 M+ runs , and I am simply bored out of my mind. I would also love to state that I haven’t left my home since the COVID-19 outbreak, and I am literally going mental. HELLO?!?! I tried to ask politely for a key throughout the support channel, but they told me it’s completely random and out of their reach. Do you call this fair? I know I am not that active on the forums and don’t want to be, but having no beta access drives me nuts, so sorry Blizzard, but I had to make this thread.
Regards,
Mbamb.

Whatever you purchase has nothing to do with the Beta Inv sorry to say, besides why do you want one now? Prepatch is due soonish, and the expansion is due in a month.
I have to admit tho, i do find it really admirable that you are so keen to test the new expansion for release, I mean that is why you want it isn’t it, to sort out any bugs or problems before the release?

Beta invites are given out per prior participation (I think) and random chance. Moaning about not being invited, won’t improve your chances (altho it won’t worsen them either).
Yes, I am god damn serious. Wouldn’t you love to sort your own WA’s and other stuff and have it ready for when it comes out? Because if you don’t, I do.
Have you opted in for the beta through your battlenet account? If so, you’re more or less as likely to get invited to betas as every other regular joe.
I might be biased in my belief that prior good participation in betas gives you a free ticket to future betas, 'cause I’ve been in the past 4 and given my fair share of bug reports.
4 - 5 weeks left, and people still wanna test the beta and put in effort that gets erased in very short weeks after.
Lmao

I can tell you something that would make you mad.
I know a 5 boxer that got all their accounts into the beta.
I did opt in multiple times but still nothing.
Beta testing is not about fair, it’s not about how much money you have spent on a pre purchase, in fact no pre-purchase was necessary.
The number of players who want to take part in beta vs how many spaces they have means that it’s hard to get invited. RNG has to be in your favour.
Lots of players are bored waiting for prepatch and expansion launch. It’s just one of those things.
Opt in is actually through the shadowlands page and not via your battle net account this time. Scroll to the bottom

And here I am chilling with my Beta Access to test my customizations and stuff 
Yes, that’s exactly where I opted in, multiple times.
You can only opt in once, it will tell you that you are already opted in, if you do it again. Unless you have multiple accounts.

I may be cynical but I don’t think the OP wants it for fixing bugs, they want it to play through the content now instead of in a month.
You know, I think I wrote that exact same sentence during the last beta in a thread like this.

Just because u done x, doesnt mean u are high vip that must get invited. There are many people who done much more than you, still didnt have any invite.
Yes, I am well aware of that too.
Your guild wasn’t invited to raid test or you weren’t included? It’s no guarantee that being a CE guild gets you in but they do invite a fair number of them for that.
