About Beta invitation

Conspiracy theories! Conspiracy theories everywhere!

Really, now...
You're worried for no good reason, ma'am. Think a bit about what is the purpose behind the alpha testing: Testing the game's server structure and connection. Having a sample size with various different ping responses is important for that, seeing if the person with 10ms ping and 10000ms ping are getting the same lag is part of the process (I was being hyperbolic with the times there, by the way)

Beta testing has a completely different reason to be. "Can the server handle 1000 people doing quests at the same time in the same place" is for alpha, "In what ways can players skip actions in this quest to cause it to break and become uncompletable" is for beta. Your geographical placement (in other words, your ping response) does not plays any role for beta.

It does for alpha, though.

It's not a conspiracy theory, it's a fact when you know 10 people of your country, 8 with real adress, 2 with fake NA adress and only those two got invited.

When i think the purpose on an alpha testing i find more important to look on people from different region, more region outside NA, JP, and EU as well too, same as you say, i don't see the point of why SE won't let people outside those region play the alpha to get a better test.

We left forgotten, back withgame contest, crysta and now with testing.
