Shadowlands Beta

To Blizz,
I have a request to make. Not the most important.
I know it has been said that Beta access to Shadowlands shouldn’t be asked for to support, and I wondering if there was a way to make an exception for me to have access, or be put on some sort of list to get access within the next wave.
I have already opted in on the site, and I have purchased the epic edition of Shadowlands. I’m a current content Ahead of the Curve raider who had been playing every day for the past several months, and on-off play since the middle of Mists of Pandaria, with a share of both both the gameplay worlds of the alliance and the horde.
I love the idea of testing games and I have done so excessively with many non-blizzard games prior of their release, such as Magic the Gathering: Arena, and I would prove to be a major asset to be let into the beta. I touch on all different kinds of gameplay, and take high responsibility for making suggestions and finding bugs. I really want Shadowlands to be the best it can possibly be for me and the rest of the playerbase. I will even leave screenshot and video feedback on certain things.
Thanks!

Blizzard: “Ok, but what if we give it to the guy that isn’t going to play it once so he doesn’t spoil the story? Or how bout the 3 guildies that are just going to spend an hour making characters to see the customization and then never play it again?”

I’m not going to be that person. I want to genuinely see the game and be able to try out the legendary crafting system and run Torghast, along with look at what all the different covenants have to offer.

Edit: And adding onto that, in fact, I like to be ahead of the story. I keep up with lore and I have no issue being spoiled by it. Yes, I do want to take the time to play with customization, but it’s not going to be the only thing I want to do.

Pssh, why be beta when you can be alpha! flexes

Alpha is over, isn’t it? It’s just beta now.

That joke really flew over your head, huh?

Asking for a Beta invite is just ridicules that’s not how it works. You’ll get one or you won’t just like everyone else.

I understand that. I’m just really looking forward to it and can’t help myself but to try my hardest attempt to get one.

Did you opt in? Yes? That’s about all you can do.

I get it dude. Glad to see you’re excited.

If you’ve pre-ordered you’ll probably end up getting one. In the mean time, watch your favourite content creator and provide feedback based on what you’re seeing. Giving opinions is valid feedback as well.

Just don’t simp to hard for Blizzard. They’re still a company that would eat you if the TOS let them lol

The hardest you can try is opting in. If you’ve done that, that’s it, you’ve done it all. Asking on the forums is never going to work.

There is no try nothing you do has any effect unless you’re a well known streamer. It just makes you look desperate. :man_facepalming:

Doesn’t hurt to try.

To try there has to be a chance of success… this is just pathetic.

If you get special access and treatment, why not every one else to and the entire playerbase?

I’ve been playing since I was in my 20’s and am now in my 40’s. Play long enough, stay subscribed, they’ll always invite you. I’ve been invited to every single Beta except MoP which was for virtually every one and their second cousin.

They should just give out beta invites to people who preorder, you know: the people invested in playing the game.

That’s usually how it works (or has in the past). The content creators/mod guys/theory crafters and proven historical great testers get in first though.

Sigh. But yeah, they should give access to the people with investment into preordering it.

That I agree with completely.
