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

[Phe]

You can continue flailing your tears around. It's pretty entertaining.

If everyone was pleased with everything SE does, this forum would be useless.

Oh god, I can't be kind anymore. I just can't.

I knew this was going to happen. I knew people would be complaining, whining, and QQing over not getting into alpha. Heck, there were even posts saying to prepare for the tsunami of tears to come washing over the forums. Still, the anticipation doesn't make this any less pathetic. Guess what, guys? I didn't get into alpha either! Am I surprised? No. Do I think I'm entitled to it just because I'm a Legacy member? No. Am I angry? No. Is my whole world crashing down around me? No.

Look, people chosen to get into alpha were chosen at random. You happened not to be one of the lucky ones chosen. Deal with it. And guess what? Testing is not over. There's still beta we have to go through. And if you don't get chosen for that, I suppose you're going to pop a vein over that as well?

Enough. Whining isn't going to get you into apha, nor is it going to improve your chances to get into testing later. So, for now, I have som advice for you, which I will deliver via the cute kitty cat below...

You don't like their resting practices? Door's on your left, loyal adventurer. There no way they are going to discuss the testing effort in that sort of detail, so that you can then complain about the application or selection bias or "he's not worthy!" nonsense.

You are not their executive management.

Going by your questioning of the selection process and what you suspect SE is doing it will only raise your chances.

However, not being pleased with everything SE does and going against popular opinion on the forums usually invokes the ire of people..thus making these forums useless.
