This is what I have experienced; I got into 2 betas (WoW: Cata and SC2) with only WoW on my account. My other Bnet account has my 2 Diablo titles (D2 and LOD) and I have never received a beta invite.

Learn to read please; I never said it will never happen; it's highly unlikely in MY EXPERIENCE.

btw you can easily post in diabloforums with an sc2 account an no wow-sub active... hmm making up random bs is fun it seems? but you will have to excuse me for hating you

And yet with my WoW Bnet account that is inactive, I can't post on the Diablo forums.

I Understand you said In Your experience so keep that in mind.
i have played wow for 6 years, have D2, Warcraft2,3,3xp, SC,SC XP, and SC 2 on my account and have never gotten into any beta for any of their games while trying for every one i could. By youre logic, In My Experience Beta Testing Does not Exist.

On a more 'on topic' note... In Vanilla when I was a wee laddy I never heard a thing from WoW. Going into BC through Wrath while I was a hardcore, top raider, I got into every WoW beta fairly early. Now that I have quit, I have not heard a thing about up and coming stuff, and my e-mail associated with that account went from never receiving a single 'hacker' e-mail to receiving about 5 a day. I may be paranoid but I get the feeling Blizzard doesn't like people who don't play or quit their games. So good luck.

P.S: No conspiracy theory, just a statement of an oddly connected string of events.

Did I miss anything? Have I received a beta key? I have 7 games registered. I feel entitled!

A lot of companies do that these days..... so the industry basically gets away with it. Can't say I approve of that policy, however.

No, it's just a marketing ploy. Nothing against a business wanting to make a buck, but this has absolutely nothing to do with quality of players.

Blizzard's customers are one of their harshest critics...

Stay mad,

Self-entitled troll guy who doesn't own a Blizz game but has over 1000 posts on a WoW fansite.

You probably shouldn't have bothered saying any of the sentences before these two either. Fact, it costs less money to keep an existing customer than find new ones. It's called business. You reward your loyal customers instead of shitting on them in order to please some newbie. In this case, letting you into their closed beta over a stalwart would be an example of said shitting.

Your experience is small. First, you're not likely to get into the Cataclysm beta if you don't even have WoW on your account. So you can strike that beta from your "proof." Second, just because one got invited to SC2 and the other didn't doesn't prove or justify the likeliness of getting into any beta with a WoW sub or without one. Random chance is random. So, in your experience, your WoW sub BNet account got into an SC2 beta and the other didn't. With that amount of statistical data, you can't come to any real hypothesis. It's like flipping a coin once, it lands on heads, and you saying that it's highly unlikely the coin will ever land on tails.
