Is this a joke? - Beta invites

#0 - Sept. 26, 2006, 4:16 p.m.

High end raiding guilds are being given beta invites so they can test the content in TBC? How exactly is this fair, when many other people like me, have been playing this game since launch. Why do raiders get higher priority, simply because they raid? Last time I checked, the main focus of this expansion was 5-man content and not 25-man raids. I'm insulted to hear that secretly these guilds are being invited to test something I've payed to play since launch. (I've loved playing WoW, which is why I feel betrayed)

The players we plan to invite to the closed beta test have a rather broad demographic, including PTR contest winners, BlizzCon attendees, some raiding groups, and other guilds and individuals as well. Raiding groups represent about 20% of the players who will be in the closed beta test. Since the expansion will contain a lot of content for a variety of play styles, not just raiding, we’re definitely going to be accounting for that as we test the content.

Also, keep in mind that there is going to be more than one phase of the closed beta test. People who aren’t in at the beginning of the test could be invited in a subsequent phase.
