whats the point? really? I spent thousands of dollars on this game... and i havent gotten a single invite. a single invite. =.= Youve gotten them all. Would I be as salty as I am now, if I had gotten one? No. rather Id be fine. So Why am I so Salty right now? because I still havent gotten a single damn one.

So? You think money should entitle you to a beta invite just because you willingly threw your own money at them? Newsflash, it doesn't. But stay salty.

really? *sigh* all a beta wave is basically a mass email that goes out at once. Could there be more tomorrow? Sure. But Pretty sure, today is done.

They are manually flagged during times when most of them are asleep, so it's a few people probably doing that so it'll probably be a bit faster once more staff is into the office. I remember the Mop 200k invite waves, it took them nearly two days to get it out and then some licenses were bugged so they had to manually remove and readd them again.

Do they send you an email when you get a Beta invite or it just updates on the launcher ... I'm stuck and work and can't check

[Mueller Greyhound]

Whelp, I might as well join No beta club. Soooo tired of not getting beta invite. I guess Blizzard doesnt want any vaulable feedbacks.

Yet every beta in the world when it comes to games is either based on specs or loyalty.

Those that haven't been playing for years, are likely not to return because of a beta anyway, because they moved on.

So in essence, if they truly cater towards the inactive players, it's very likely they aren't even going to install the alpha.

But dude.. You paid to play the game, not to get beta invites. If you feel like you should get a beta invite just because you pay to play the game, you've got your head up your arse, mate.

Honestly I never play beta because I think its bs you lose any progress you make personally,

That being said, as a customer of 10 years, I find it slighty disappointing. No I'm not a special snow flake, no the universe / game doesn't revolve around me, but yea its a bit meh when I know people ingame that aren't even a year old (account wise) getting invites who have no intention of testing anything

really? did you miss this important tid bit? ~~>

The current plan is to take the alpha down over the next day, wipe all of the existing characters, send out a large beta invite wave, and then on Thursday at 2 PM PST / 5 PM EST start beta!

No dice for me. I'm at work so I checked my b.net account page, just retail and PTR WoW accounts.

It will be listed as PTR WoW account mind you, but it'll be Legion ptr.

If the invites where truly random, then we would see most people getting into a few Betas over the years, on and off. Yet instead it seems people get into all of them, or none. So apparently you can be flagged both 'good' and 'bad' in Blizzard's system. Once you are either, then that is it. You either get invites or you don't, ever.

[Kryos]

You only get in if you know the secret handshake.

You should really consider reading the frontpage, I mean only the first couple lines should be enough

Bullshit rumor. Like people who say if your wow account is banned it makes you ineligible. I've had friends with banned accounts in the Alpha.

[Monteverdi]

Endgame raider since Tier 4, player since launch. No invite yet, but there are millions who play. I might get an invite, I might not. No vast conspiracy here, jump off your entitled horses.

Just my observation from reading this thread. The tendency keels strongly toward 'All' or 'None', plus a group of random invites.

It is a statistical impossibility in the mathematical sense that people mostly get All or None. The uncertainty is in whether my informal observation holds true.
