    Would YOU pay for Beta access?

    Because I would. I don't have access, and I need it a lot. Wish Blizzard added the possibility to simply buy Beta access...

    Are you trolling or.. what kind of person would PAY for beta access..? You're doing them a favor by testing it not the other way around you know. Beta doesn't/shouldn't mean early access.

    Why do you need it a lot ?

    You don't *need* beta - nobody does.

    I wouldn't wish the curse that is BFA alpha/beta on anyone, that's how bad it is.

    Can't take this thread seriously.

    Nobody should pay for testing an unfinished product. If anything, companies need to pay citizens to test their products.

    nah.. that's usually the time when i come back and do all the stuff the previous expansion has to offer.
    besides anything you could possibly want to know about the upcoming expansion is always available the second it's added to the betas pretty much.

    Nope. Heck I have a hard enough time playing the same crap over and over as it is, why would I want to add another 6 months onto it?

    No. I get invited to a lot of blizzard betas and often don't use them for more than a couple hours. Playing the unfinished game too much can spoil the excitement for me.

    I have beta, but don’t use it. I can’t stand shit that’s not working properly. But guess that’s what beta is for.

    got beta not a big deal

    No, I wouldn't.

    I am on Beta to test and give feedback, not to play it like it's live.

    I was offered 1000 euro for my Alpha access during Legion Alpha.

    Obviously I didn't accept the offer, but still. People are fucking desperate.

    They tried that in MOP with the yearly pass. Flopped because they had too many people flooding (and overloading) servers while giving terrible feedback instead of being present for testing.

    I always, like ALWAYS get both Alpha and Beta and I NEVER use it. It feels like such a waste for me I wish I could gift it to someone who actually want it.

    Blizzard cannot legally charge you for Alpha or Beta, it's not an end product according to the EULA and TOS

    This is all that needs to be said really. It exacerbates the early access/DLC culture that's plaguing modern gaming.

    And yet, they have the past. I think you should take them to court over their own EULA.
    1) Load the amount of weight I would deadlift onto the bench
    2) Unrack
    3) Crank out 15 reps
    4) Be ashamed of constantly skipping leg day

    They have in the past. If you pre-paid for a year sub you got beta access and the Diablo xpac free. That was a while ago, obviously, but I still did it!

    Not in hell. While I DO want blizzard to succeed, I wouldn't even spoil my experience for free, let alone pay them to do their work.
