    It's really, really not. They get a *lot* of people testing, which will hopefully enable for a smoother launch. They did the same with MoP.

    not to mention many months of class tuning, profession updates, item tweaks, environment updates, UI improvements, bug fixes, hero talent VFX improvements, etc etc.

    but yeah, totally a soft launch. you just sound bitter because you didnt buy it

    Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

    I never said that (and i'm not gonna start that argument again). also, what's your point? do you think i'm just "dooming"? people min maxing everything before the expansion is even out is bad. yeah, we have the ptr (and i don't mind about that), but this goes beyond that.

    Others gettin' the "No realms are currently available" thing?

    EDIT

    Nvm, don't think servers are ready yet?

    I'm not protecting myself from anything.

    1) i never preorder anything
    2) i only do seasonal content

    I'm just against splitting the playerbase even more.

    So, you're basically being a sad little troll? Maybe 4chan is more for you

    Neither the Beta/PTR build or servers are out yet. 11.0 is still on the last Alpha build and PTR is on 10.2.7 still.

    Beta servers are still down and also getting wiped, I think you are looking at 10.2.7 PTR.

    so youd rather the game have no public testing because you want more people to play with on whatever version you are currently playing?

    Maybe. Server is Anasterian and presented as Incompatible and I got there after the queue after choosing TWW Beta. Do we see ALL the In Development servers at once?

    Yup, they are all in the same queue and log in.

    Beta/PTR share the same realmlist, but Beta realms will be in the Beta realm category (or "Invalid Category" on the current Beta build) while PTRs are in their regular category. Anasterian is a PTR server.

    how did you reach that conclusion? 2 posts above i said i don't mind the game having a ptr. I just said i don't like giving people beta access with money because i know many are going to buy it (there is already a q on the beta realms) because blizzard is also giving them a 3 days early access on the actual release. do you think that's healthy for the game?

    i dont think the 3 day early access is, but i think the beta portion is. it ensures people who actually wanna test the game will get beta. someone who spends 90 dollars on the pre order is more likely to test than any random person like they did in the past.

    I hope they will somehow remove mining/herb/skin materials from early access, that is last thing that could give edge over normal player (beside saving time for leveling). Still dick move of course, but as I said before, it's shitty industry standard that Blizzard help to spread.

    It's extremely healthy for the game. Do you remember how broken SoD phase 3 & Alleria questline were because they didn't publicly test them? And the 3 day early access prevents the typical launch day clog.

    Honestly I always thought that whole "using the past expansions to predict the upcoming ones" was on the dumb side of things. Real stretch to not consider Dragonflight at least partly an elemental expansion.

    Ah that would be reasonable, good point.

    they could have a longer beta (like they did in the past), they could hire more people to test the game, etc. blizz choose the cheapest solution.

    Remember 3000 pages ago when everyone refused to believe the expansion was going to take place underground and that Thrall was going to be a big part of it?

    There is no point to doing those things. People clearly want to test the game for free: They're not being coerced into doing it. Any damage to the culture of the community is only in your imagination.
