No dice either, but i know a lot of the testers are the exact same from the last 3-4 closed betas. I think otm just recyles the same core grp as long as they submit, whether they still play much or not, then rotates 10-20 ppl theyve never added before each time (unless attitude issues or clashing with ppl in said core group). Sticking to a core grp can be smart because the people all generally know each other as soon as they download and log in, but at the same time there are people that quit and move on, or get inactive, but still get into beta just because they always do, which makes others salty (as seen in previous messages)
At the opposite end of the spectrum, lets say you were one of the randoms picked, and you dont stand out to them during this one closed beta, whether its because youre not on when they are, or something comes up irl during closed that takes up your time, or you just dont report a lot of bugs (lazy, busy, or couldnt find any that werent already reported) theyll never invite you to a closed beta again after that (based on my own personal experience and hearing from others that are in the same situation).
Now this theory may be completely right, partially right, or even comoletely untrue as a whole, but the trend has been the exact same across all closed betas and whether its intentional or not, it frustrates people
Anyways grats to those new people that got in and no crap you were getting added again to those returning for the 3rd 4th 5th 6th time! If theres any class balancing done, pls dont input wht you think unless you actully understand what balancing means.
