To blizzard, feedback. Stop trying to make money off of a beta, it is revolting

title. A game needs testing, a beta etc, stop trying to make money off of giving ppl early access to it. Disgusting.

Don’t worry, those players will find every bug and exploit in no time…and keep it to themselves so they can abuse it at launch.

There is also beta for random signed up players, press and ā€œinfluencersā€ and so on tho. It’s not only paid entry.

Whats actually disgusting about it?

Blizz wants testing done. Ppl queue up to do it for free or even pay.

Whats wrong with this equation except some rando on the interweb has to find something to get mad about?

well, you must have epic edition in order to get beta invite. So, paid.

Epic edition includes guaranteed beta access. As you did not quote the rest of my post I already mentioned the various other groups that do not require any purchase to get in.

Well, it is written: "Players who purchase or who upgrade to the Epic Edition of The War Within will also gain immediate access to the beta ":

That does not say everyone else is excluded from being selected for Beta. So I don’t see your point.

Yes if you buy it then you get ā€˜guaranteed’ access. If you don’t buy it and you’ve signed up to beta test, you take your chances at getting in.

And so it begins.

No?

I’m in the alpha, I’ll have beta access too most likely as a result. I haven’t got the epic edition.

You must pay 90 EUR to get access to beta, otherwise it is slim chance to get an invite.

We never had this before, not to mention , epic ediiton grant you early 3 day access to new expansion.

Greed is greed.

That is incorrect, with the Annual Pass at Mists of Pandaria beta we did infact had a sorta ā€œpaid betaā€ guaranteed access.

Which doesn’t grant access to critical game progress like raids and so on.

ā€œā€ Beta Access and Early Access dates subject to change. Early Access duration is 3 days. Limited time only. Play time subject to possible outages and time zone differences. Certain endgame features, including Mythic dungeons and weekly quests, not available during Early Access. Click for more details.ā€

That is incorrect, I have addressed every argument of yours, also partially with direct sources. You cannot claim to be speaking the truth with no source to back yourself up.

As you’re unable to reply with actual sources that support your ā€œtruthā€ since there are none, its an opinion and that’s entirely allowed.

This happened in Pandaria and nobody was testing the game, everyone wanted to just see things early. This is why this was changed, but I guess times are rough and they need that money.

Getting beta access with the top option was not really a selling point for me, as I don’t want to spoil it. 3 days early? Not really a selling point as we will be bug testing still, first few days are always terrible. I just wanted the cosmetic stuff.

Absolutely not. I’ve been in a lot of betas, without even preordering the expansions. ā€œSlim chanceā€, no, they’re likely using several metrics to determine who gets access and who don’t.

Stop lying. I’ve been in a few betas, I never pre order and I never buy the most expensive edition.

Repeating lies doesn’t make them true.

You do not have to pay, regular beta testing also exists. Paying guarantees beta access.

They did a similar deal in the past that guaranteed beta access for mop.

You don’t want to listen to anyone else. It has explained multiple times now.
