Illuminator

If this is a dev that actually raids and pays his dues to the game, then it sounds to me that this is the last guy you want to shoot down. A sharp tongue is no worse than what any of us in here have.

While I hate to bring this up, it is well known that All the Fan Site Reps are in beta, basically every Light blue Name ( We know this because of the press tours). Now based on past evidence, if you spoke out against sony (even if it was a minor flame) and knew you would be banned for doing it would you still do it?

I speak out against them all the time. Or perhaps "in criticism of them" is better. I don't do it in a manner which would get me banned. It's not at all difficult to express criticism without being an asshole.

Letum

True, but they don't hear you unless you are an asshole, then they hear you just enough to ban you. I speak from experience.

There is definitely a difference between giving criticism and being an asshole. I think you nailed it here. It's not what you are saying, it is how you are saying it that gets people banned.

Obviously many people on this board wouldn't be posting here if they weren't bitter in some way, but it seems like alot of people here are wording things in a way that it's them against the devs, which just isn't the case and doesn't make sense. They act like it's some kind of personal war.

LFG

While nobody will confirm it or even discuss it, I have no doubt that the reason I'm not in beta is because of this site and comments I've made about EQ2 and SoE outside the SoE forums. This is the first beta I've not been invited to, and everyone else in the situation I was in is in beta except for me. There is no other reasonable conclusion that can be drawn.

This reinforces what I've been saying since Khalan was banned. That if you speak publicly against SoE or any member of the EQ2 team, you are cut off and no longer a member of the family. They don't want to hear the truth, they only want to hear what matches their agenda.

I have many friends at fansites, and know them all to be credible and respectable people. However, if I did not already have a well founded positive opinion of these people, I don't think I could believe anything they say, since I now know that they would lose their privileges with SoE if they said anything that was both (a) truthful and (b) sharply critical, whether on or off the SoE forums.

This is all fine with me, however, since I now feel relieved of any burden to temper my words. Also, after problems in past betas, I always felt reluctant to speak harshly of the released product, since I was in the beta but didn't discover that problem myself. I will not feel any hestitation to give my unqualified opinions on such issues in the future.

I wonder if SOE handling the Vangaurd beta will have any spillover effect there for future invites? It isn't their "product", but you know, spite and all.

I have an idea how the select beta testers. They simply just pick fucking random nub ass accounts. Forget anyone who has any concept of the game or the mechanics. The OP says it all. Cancel your account, oh beg cry please come back SoE will suck your cock.

So, If someone with any fucking concept of the lotto system that you have over there reads this. Take this down , Take a picture , even fucking mark it as a favorite.


So... read below.....

Put people in that have high play times. Period. Having less that 20 Hours , hell even say 15 hours a week on an account. How much do you think they are going to get you in beta? Pick competent players. Non Competent shit for brain fucktards need not apply.

Lastly...

5 Accounts, Probably more play time than the girl under Bills Clintons desk on all of them....

And no invite..

Am I bitter... Nah.....Wait a second.. Fuck ya I am.. Why? Because I can be.

i beta tested thier PvP for a bit and that was a huge waste of my time as a paying customer. I would never want to test another anything ever Unless they payed me to do it.
