General Discussion - Forum users are now TEN TIMES more likely to get into Beta for now - Forum

If people with 0 posts cared so much about PoE and checked the forums regularly then why on earth would they intentionally say nothing when it has been stated posting increases your chances (hah). I just can't see any real reason to justify the number of "dead" accounts when there are still far more deserving people out there (largely more so than myself). Fair Enough, I have been a long, long time lurker, registered once a long time ago, lost the email address I used (shut down service, it was an ISP address) and just been reading every now and then. Read something on an exterior site that had info on the CB key giveaway and registered again. Hence the X behind Masaki This is my point though, the instant you hear posting could increase your chances you will stop lurking. By this time tomorrow any 0 post count users who are genuinely interested will likely have posted anyway. It just seems that GGG are likely targeting the wrong people. Anyone who has posted in the past few days will definitely want in but the same isn't necessarily true for stagnant accounts with 0 posts. Allowing to see the accounts dribble in was probably never a good idea.	Posted by Piggy on Aug 10, 2011, 7:04:39 PM Quote this Post

Nice to see this boost, even if it's just temporary. I think the odds are much better that people who have posted on the forum will actually use the invitation, so this is a good way to get a bunch of active people playing now. Thanks for this change.

"It just seems that GGG are likely targeting the wrong people.

I feel bad for all the loyalists getting shafted.	Posted by MasakiX on Aug 10, 2011, 7:07:07 PM Quote this Post
