Loyalty doesn’t pay.
There is a whole lot of whining going around these parts of the forums

Beta testing isn’t a loyalty reward. It serves a purpose. Well two purposes now.
Marketing/Advertising.
And getting the largest spectrum of machine types and player perspectives as possible to get feed back from.
So They want to know how all the age demographics feel, how people that started to play in expansion X feel, how people that have never played WoW feel.
About the only group they could make a safe educated guess about is Vanilla players that want to get in to beta really bad.
If i were a Blizzard executive i’ll do the same. I’ll give betas to every popular streamer who play video games, even if they don’t play WoW. Just because those streamers will give a lot of publicity to the game. That’s good for Blizzard, for the game, and their customers.

5 mins in, tipsout acknowledge it’s not really fair. and streamers priority isn’t to test bugs.

there’s two kinds of people they invite, randoms and Streamers. randoms test the game, streamers promote it. get over it.

Loyalty isn’t free marketing, my dude.

I’m no streamer, I don’t even watch streamers, and I got an invite.

Grow the hell up OP.
There are many others (myself included) who began playing during Vanilla who want in as much as you do. It was a gamble to resub to WoW and try to get into the beta, not a guaranteed ticket. When I read the requirements were to be subbed to WoW, it was understandable for obvious reasons. I took the risk, didn’t get in (besides stress test). That’s life, s*** happens.
Outside of a marketing argument, I’m happy to see popular streamers getting access. Considering there are so many viewers watching the most mundane part of the game like low level leveling means there’s a real player base out there ready to play. That excites me.

Let’s say for a moment that blizzard really cared about loyalty, so as of right now only people who’ve been playing and paying since 2004 or sooner would be playing the beta, i feel like that would be a very very short list.
This just in, man has a cry about not getting everything he wants - vents his frustration online - looks like an idiot.
More to come shortly

Summit said on his stream multiple times he played WoW Vanilla near it’s launch so everything OP just said is completely wrong, based on assumptions and should be deleted by a blue. OP you also do nothing for blizzard but give them money and play there products like the rest of us. Streamers actually give exposure to the game to different audiences it’s basically free advertisement for WoW Classic why tf wouldn’t they invite streamers? They know so many streamers quit WoW over the years but would love to play WoW Classic again so they invite them and all people do is cry because they didn’t get lucky. Sorry you didn’t get what you want child. And man… if you really did play in Vanilla then you must be in your adult life right now and still acting like a whiny baby. That’s just sad but also funny to see lmao
Also pretty interesting u said this then made this post

Where is this posted?
This is what the After Stress Test post says about invites.
He also acknowledges at one point that streamer concentration makes it hard for people to test things when the streamers are around.

It doesn’t matter what blizzard ‘‘says’’ happens they’ve convinced themselves.
example
( pizza gate was proven to be a hoax, that did not stop a person from breaking into the pizza joint and attempting to ‘‘save the children’’ and furthermore,people still believe and support the guy who did that.)
Keep that in mind.
Sure, but when someone claims a direct quote that’s completely false, we have a duty of care to point out their talking out of the wrong end, lest others repeat it.

Doesn’t bother me a bit. I mean, yeah, I’d like to have beta access, but I also understand their reasoning for doing this.
It’s a business move to try and bring lost/new customers into the fold. Many who have left over the years may not know about the re-release of classic. This gets the word out.
Overall, I think this will lead to a better overall experience for everyone if these guys/girls bring more players to the table.
People need to stop thinking small/selfishly. Think bigger picture folks.
