I have no active subscriptions and received a D3 beta invite. Just an FYI: (Granted i have purchased games in the past and did play wow but got the beta invite while no subs were active.)
So you want to play an incomplete game (beta) so you can pass judgement how it is before its complete, yet you are criticizing how they are testing that game with a pool of players that are already committed to the products (beta is a privilege not a right)...yea you seem like you would be an awesome beta tester...Keep staying classy my friend.

No, but likewise its hardly a crime that Blizzard chooses to only select testers from a pool of their current customers. With millions of customers to choose from, why wouldn't they reward their current customer base rather than giving a free game to a prospect (and alienating their loyal customers in the process... can you imagine the forum QQ?).
You are complaining about beta. End of story. I feel like I am back in the SWTOR official forum again....BETA IS FOR THE COMPANY TO TEST THE GAME AND MAKE IT BETTER NOT FOR YOU TO GET A FREE TRIAL.
"Didn't we have some fun...though? Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said 'Goodbye' and you were like 'No way' and then I was all 'We pretended we were going to murder you'......that was great"
You dont see the crime in not wanting to play their other games. I dont see the crime of them rewarding paying customers who do have/play the other material. Stay classy El Cheap-O
Of course it's a free trial. Granted, when I happen to be in beta test, I'll do the bug reports when I come across a bug, but I don't go looking for them, as a proper beta tester should. In all honestly, I do find it weird that you would want to do that. Work for free? Screw that. They can send me a fair wage for testing a game, like they should. It's not like they're running a non-profit organization here. I'll happily volunteer my time to a soup kitchen, or to help with some little league organization, school functions, and what have you. I will not for a corporation worth millions or billions. At the very least, Blizzard should be offering those who test their games some form of compensation. Maybe a free copy of the game, or some cash for the RMT AH.
Game companies exploit their fans so badly, and their fans take it. It's rather pathetic.
Oh no, a company decides that it wants to reward it's customers. This is the first time in history that has ever happened.
Chaos ensues. World ends.
Hahaha, fanboys will always come up with some drivel to back up their preconceptions about their favorite company/brand/game/softdrink/vegetable. Frankly, I think it's adorable.
