SE Rep - can you share with us the criteria for selection of Alpha testers

The point is that people who played few months (and I mean 1-2 month since release) are inside. No matter if they are active or inactive, it's just... silly. :|

Maybe they said they want to make the game better, not play early? There are loads of reasons for them getting in and not us, when did SE say "Only legacy members will be able to participate in the alpha tests?" as far as I know, never, therefore no one is entitled to participate.

If anything these people are the best for it because they quit due to the poor quality of the game, if the alpha and beta is an improvement on release they will come back, let's face it we are all going to come back either way, but the people who quit who have no attachment to the game will see the flaws that we could miss.

In the original post, and posts like this people are claiming things about the alpha testers that were selected. But! .... I echo what i read in another post ... where are you getting this info?

If people are posting they got in, they violate the agreement right? ... If there really are people posting that they got in, it would make sense that only those that played a little and don't really care about staying(?) would post they got in and risk losing the spot.... maybe? I'm sure if any hardcore player got an invite, he/she wouldn't risk losing that by breaking the Non Disclosure Agreement and posting that they got in.

Also, i'm sure tons of people will just lie. XD

Jumping to conclusions, or having knee jerk reactions is very easy ... and sometimes hard to suppress. I have these responses initially too, sometimes. The best thing i find is to give some time and think about things, and posts, and try to apply some logic. I avoid a lot of self inflicted heartache and frustration that way. XD

Good luck with the future invites.
