Smooth game play does not a Beta make

Blizzard tests its games a lot sometimes this is done in house most of the time they use players like you and me either in public test realms when its just a new content patch or limited invitation only betas. This expansion has the largest pool of beta players and anyone who pledges to pay for a full year of Warcraft with the annual pass gets in to Mists' beta. This will also likely be the most bug free launch of an expansion in WoW history. Why you ask because we beta testers are finding all the bugs for them. And there are a lot of bugs. Three weeks ago a new patch came out that broke demonology warlocks Dark Apotheosis transformation and also broke shadow form on priest. it took them 10 days or so to find and fix the problem. Quest bugs can halt the beta for a lot of players even worse than class or form bugs sometimes a quest giver will disappear or even not be there at all. The previews you get about game play and the lore of new story lines can make up for the buggy play during beta. If you enjoy learning about the game before it comes out and don’t mind a few bugs sign up for the World of Warcraft annual pass and get into the beta. I’ll see you there.
