Blizzard was recently asked why they dont just have an open beta and they responed by saying this would be counterproductive to why they are having a beta. Blizzard has stated numerous times in the past that the beta is not for content but is used for stress testing their servers and making sure the network runs fine. So, how is having as many people join the servers as possible go against their reasoning to have a beta?

because they need to slowly allow more n more people in. they just invited 100k. they will invite another 1m in the next few weeks. if they suddenly let 5m people play it will crash the servers and just waste time fixing it and then going back to how many ppl they had before.

It's Blizzard, they would never have an open beta for any of their products. They literally add ANY number of beta participants at the click of a button and unlocking it for free download is entirely unnecessary. I feel bad for the true fans who still haven't gotten in but Blizzard's helping with that problem on daily basis now.

I'm quite certain this is a silly attempt at trolling, but out of curiosity I looked it up - the population of North America is 528,720,588.
