She got boosted in PvP to get the weapon, as did a shed load of raiders.
She has thousands of viewers everyday.
She raids Mythic in a top 100 guild (used to raid with Method & Serenity) & runs high M+ (mid 20’s), so it’s safe to say she knows a lot about the game.
well she is right. a streamer with a decent amount of followers is more valueble then us the normal players. because of the reasons she said. do you think you can give the information to as many people as a streamer? because thanks to streamers 100.000s of people will get the information from ingame. and can make a opinion out of that. and that opinion they can share with blizzard to improve the game. so yes blizzard does get more value from streamers then from us. like giving one streamer beta gets a ton of feedback from the viewers. and they can also report bugs and stuff on social media and share their opinion.
It’s mostly just for free advertisement, don’t need to spend as much on the advertisement… if they just give the streamers the beta.
I won’t lie, I’d try the beta out… but I personally wouldn’t end up leveling up in it.
Though, if I was invited and my favourite streamer played with me/organised events like in classic b eta, I would however as it’d be more entertaining.
Question is, is she wrong? This is marketing. This beta is being used to market the upcoming release. So is she wrong?
Use asmon for an example, when he goes and plays rando other games he personally makes the population on that game dramatically increase while he’s playing. Big streamers will always get priority access. Why? Because its free marketing and exposure to thousands of people.
the problem is there are people saying things like … i’m playing tbc on private server for 10 years + i deserve beta or im playin classic longer than all of them
like who cares?
the beta is not for testing
it’s the HYPE that’s all
do you really think that you can bring something NEW ? and test something?
i don’t think so
Well, congratulations to blizzard on dumping on the little people again, I’ve unsubbed and unfollowed every wow Twitch streamer + I know you’re blatant generic response will be " well who cares you’re only 1 person " Just look at what happened to WoW before classic and how far downhill it went when the accumulation of negative treatment to the “little guy” took its toll on the game.
And to those who actually think this will bring more players to TBC, you’re deluded as hell, the only people who watch twitch streamers religiously don’t even play the game and the ones will are actually going to play TBC will reglardless of streamers or not.
it’s ok i unfollowed many streamers because i don’t like their content anymore
it happens all the time
If you unfollwed them because you didn’t get beta and they did
something is wrong and you need to seek help
And why it’s so? It’s reality where game advertisment is not done through adverts but through social media and that’s why any streamer is more valuable than a non-streamer. Having a twitch page full of people playing TBC is free advertisment and Blizzard as a publicly traded company has to make money for shareholders. Cruel capitalism
And why were you paying for subs on every WoW Twitch streamer in the first place?
I did raid back in WoD with her + Cayna. While i have no words for cayna she was probably the best player i ever seen and for sure the coolest and most patient.
Now as it seems, she is probably responding to a nerdrage attack from the chat.
Care to show us 5 minutes before she starts talking what happened?
This hasn’t been true anymore for the past 30 years. We live in 2021, not 1990. Testing has professionalized, there companies that specificly test software now, they have a grasp of programming, and actually help the company find errors and allow to fix them way better then any regular tester could do. Beta nowadays is a tool for advertisement only. “The game is nearly complete” “Look at how awesome it is already” “Soon folks, save up your cash because you want to buy this game next month”
You do know you get classic/retail and tbc when it comes has one sub right ? and people have multi chars right and that tl3 is only for 1 char right ? .
