    I'm gonna invoke Poe's Law on this one. That being said, it's pretty common knowledge that first-wave beta access generally goes to streamers, big-name fansites like MMO-Champ and WoWhead, and other people who can get word of mouth out, and randoms are selected to fill in the gaps, with more randoms picked as time goes by to fill the beta in and get a wider array of playstyles and skill levels (you never know what sort of insanity a player who isn't focused on min-maxing the level grind can come up with) so feedback is as complete as possible.

    Of course, what they do with that feedback is a valid argument to have elsewhere.

    I'm a previously competitive raider and have been playing since day 1 vanilla. Got my classic beta invite yesterday. I stream and only have a very small following with a couple of active people. I had zero watchers on my stream.. I figure it's because followers like mythic content and because some of the top world streamers have taken over for now.

    Don't be stupid, most people who will play classic are casual. Yeah there are some nutbags who will try to get world first in various things to try and get 5 min fame but rest will take it slowly and nicely.

    Last time I played on a private server, it was one with like.... 0.5 mob xp or something like that? Leveling took plenty long, and I was content to just jog around enjoying the starter zone music as I quested. I get the feeling a lot of players will cruise to 60 at an easy pace and people are vastly overestimating how many of the people who take a spin on Classic are going to follow the private servers' speedrunning meta versus enjoying the journey.

    Eh, not really for the elite.

    It is an interactive museum. Only way forward is mostly to have time to do so. You could easily be a family parent and a hardcore raider in classic but you DID waste a lot of time to get to the stage.

    But call it for the elite, no, not really. You're going to experience things that comes out more difficult than now (see 'Not a bug' threads) but honestly, skimming through and you are good to go.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

    You shouldn't take it so personally, Blizzard doesn't give two fucks what your face looks like, all they care about is if you have an audience to promote their product.

    2 jobs and family and you complain you don't get an invitation for beta classic?.... i'm pretty certain you barely have time for wow. It's kinda pathetic coming from you acting that Wow beta priority over your family/2jobs. Chill the fuck out man.... it's just a G.A.M.E! Plenty time to come around to play that game. It's not the end of the world.

    Just put in the X generation of human rights some socialists might want to push. The gov't will force game devs to let players get everything in game for no effort or pay fines because it's discrimination. They'll call it something liek this: "right to achievements". Wait for the next generation to put their candidates. Their slogans could sound like this: "you work hard to pay our enormous tax burdens and these evil game developers make games that aren't accessible to casuals? IT'S TIME TO STOP THE EXCLUSION OF SCRUBS! LOWBOBS UNITE. EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE THE BEST IN VIDEO GAMES! IT'S GAMES NOT REAL LIFE! MAKE IT EASIER FOR OTHERS, IT DOESN'T IMPACT YOU! GAMES FOR FREE!"

    I'd probably have gotten one if I were subscribed. But I refuse to pay for BFA, so watching streams it is for me.

    Unfortunately it's not possible for us to allow a separate thread for everyone who feels they deserve to have beta access.

    Closing as this isn't going anywhere and there is another thread that has been up for longer.
