i just say 2 things here:
- i also work in a big software development company. unlike you blizzard, we dont let 90% of our testing be done by pay-free public users. we pay for good beta testing. maybe you could try that...
- and if you even go that route and let your customers test your software for you, than, maybe, i would choose that customers who are loyal, playing long term and for more than 5 years, and know the game very very well and in deep. and foremost: are private ppl without any personal interests besides a good game (instead clicks of streamers). you have all the data to find em.
maybe then you get a little bit more accurate results. but hey, its brutal complex. oh wait, no, its not.

you have to realize that age (playing many years) is a fundamental base for your mentioned points (constructive and critical feedback).
