towellie confirm alpha is sometime in the future before shadowland launch
I don't see people giving up the chance to get a beta key for Valorant. Which if I'm correct you get them by watching their stream. Most people will go to the brand new shiny thing. Also next week is their own game, Hearthstone Ashes of Outland drops. Do you think they will split their own playerbase even more. If there's nothing at the end of this week then there wont be anything next week either. Isn't Hearthstone going live the same day as Valorant????
You do realise streamers with large audiences can give very valuable feedback right? You don't need beta access to see if a system is garbage or not. You can see it. Also an NDA heavy beta would also mean less people getting beta, it's only natural. You are just being selfish , it's about you not being able to control yourself from spoilers.
Luckily alpha starts next week and every streamer is gonna go ham on it. You should turn off your PC for the next 7 months
Again, this is absurd. I had access to three betas and one alpha and didn’t use it because I couldn’t care less about it. I don’t even care about being spoilered or not. I just think it would be better if no one gets to see this stuff besides people that were undoubtedly meant to see / experience / test it.
And sorry but no, just by seeing stuff you cannot give genuine feedback about it. Sure you can say that’s sh*t but I’m sure that’s feedback Blizzard doesn’t want to have.
I just think this extensive datamining hurts WoW more than it helps.

If ppl don't like spoilers, why do they come here after all ?
The statement Azerite armor is garbage from thousands of people that did not have beta access didn’t help though. And I say this as someone who genuinely despised BfA and thinks it’s the worst expansion with the worst systems ever.
Why should Blizzard care about the opinion of those thousands that just regurgitate stuff they’ve seen or heart yet neither experienced nor tested themselves? That’s the exact problem that I’m talking about. Let alone the heavy story spoilers that shouldn’t be a thing at all until the expansion/patch is released.
I didn’t want to start an argument about datamining though, I just said I like that encrypted stuff and hope it’s here to stay. If others don’t like it, well, I think that’s fine.
