You do realise that content creators and select members of the community will get in early to test, give feedback, put together reviews, content videos etc., ready for the time Blizzard says they are free to start posting. Anyone assuming that VOH will be released without any sort of external testing has rocks in their head.

They just released the new WoW expansion without any internal testing, let alone external.
Not sure if that is sarcasm but its not true. TWW had beta testing and so did VOH.

no, early access to games for those who pay more is a practice that should be fought and not encouraged, it is ridiculous to pay more to play a game a week in advance that is already ready and can be released at that moment, VoH will have problems and a week more or less to see this will not make a difference because D4’s problems are at the core of the game and they are not worried about fixing this because the game is selling well

i’am personally not fond of early access as a way to force purchase especially in online game with leaderboard.
Many would prefer simply to wait for review and then buy the product afterall.
Also, it make people feeling like second class citizen since they can’t play the game despite the game being already ready to go.
And no, they would never let player beta-test on the main server : imagine the amount of bug abuse there would be.
there is already quite a lot of it when the game is supposed to be finished
i already pre-ordered it , but i’am still not fond of such practice
I was going to say here that pre orders should not get anything early but I think I’m feeling different about it right now.
In my opinion, Pre Ordering means you are for sure going to play this game. If your using the Wings and Cat Mount right now in-game and still playing Season 05 - then they should give us early access to something.
idk about other players but I’m still playing dude. I’m leveling another Rogue right now. Let’s go. Log in dude.
Early access didn’t help the base game last year. Not sure why anyone would want to pre-order and expect anything different.
I wouldnt mind EA, but you know what happens when it is offered. Im fine being spared the usual over the top remarks that come from the fomo addicts.
It had an early promotion with streamers. They weren’t beta-testing. They were hyping up TWW.
I remember paying extra when the game was first released just go get those 4 days of early access.
Never again. I learned my lesson.
Yes, there was a beta test.
I’m probably wrong but streamers/content creators will have early access. won’t they?
(under NDA ofc)
I get that you’re joking but that would be effing nice. Bring me all the goodies and participation trophies because I preordered the game. I deserve them!
lol, Early access gives people a chance to find 
and exploits and benefit from them before Blizzard fixes them.
There are certainly players who are dishonest, but I do not believe that was the thread owner’s intent. It seemed more along the lines of keenness.
Cheaters gotta cheat. It’s their problem and karma until it affects everyone else. Not everyone has that modus operandi to exploit.
