I am curious about how small these betas are because on FB it seems anytime Wildstar talks about beta the thread is flooded with a bazillion posts of people complaining they have not gotten an invite. I have yet to see anyone even hint of being in this beta lol. Not looking for conspiracy here, just concerned about how small these betas actually are and the reasoning behind that. I really hope this game is not all hype, it will be a huge disappointment.
Funny, even the beg for a extra key thread I skimmed through did not show any evidence of anyone actually getting one lol. I did not look at every post though.

People got spoiled with buying beta access when they pre-order a game. WS seems to take the approach of how betas used to be, very few get access. And people begging for keys just gets ignored anyways since people don't get extra keys and if they even had one I'm sure they got friends that would love to have that key and not some total stranger.
Funny and sad how people would spend hundreds of dollars for beta access and they QQ or rage how the game fails and demand a refund or make a rage post of how they were deceived.
Welcome to the new generation of mmo gamers. Just like the zombie cell phone apoc. , things will never be the same.
We have 2 people in our community in the beta, but they've been in it for months.
I don't know of anyone that's gotten an invite recently but they are sending them out this month (Dec).
You know all of those questions you fill out when you sign up for betas? "Why do you think you would be a good tester" etc.. Well they actually read them this time and based their invites off of them it seems. Those people in my guild that had decent writing skills and actually put time and effort in got invites. Those that gave 1 sentence answers did not.
4 of us in our guild were invited, of those 4. All of us gave long detailed answers to every question, demonstrating that we could actually communicate properly and give concise bug reports.
I have received a beta key and im currently playing Wildstar Also received 2 extra keys friends which I gave to 2 real life buddies who are also playing beta with me
This is no joke, im one of the few lucky bastards who got one.
i am waiting for the beta key aswel
Gottha love this game
While I agree don't count on them not offering paid beta access at some point. It's par for the course these days, and when we get closer to release it's a incentive for some to put money down for a preorder. Like you say, it's a generational thing.
Also I sincerley doubt they actually read most of the applications. They may use keyword indicators but considering how many people apply it'd be impossible to read every single one. As an anecdotal example I gave quite detailed answers in the application and haven't gotten an invite, while a guildy of mine who barely tries with applications, (which is he's words not mine), did get one.
So to the OP, yes there are people testing but sadly not me :P
This looks like a job for....The Riviera Kid!
I just received my email invite.... Currently downloading.
good luck to you all see you in game
Did you also get extra keys?
