I have been trying since september 2011. Joined every single contests you can imagine. Now with the fansite beta keys I did and have been doing everything on my reach.
Sorry about the rant I am so disapointed. Its the first time in my life I fight to join a beta.
I think a lot of people feel the same way. I don't think these contests are helping either. I appreciate that these fan sites that are giving away keys are trying to be different but its driving people more insane. I like the build contest that's about it though. People have said they are staying up for 30 hours for a chance at a key. In the end I don't think it's worth the frustration. We all want keys but I'm gonna maintain my sanity and just wait for release, maybe I'll get lucky in a drawing to get a nice preview of the game through the beta.
I have also participated in every single beta competition going, and here I sit beta-less. The odds of actually getting a key from any competition are slim to none so I'm not exactly expecting a key, but sometimes I see someone picked for a key and can't help but think "really?". I personally hate any contest where the winner is selected, because most of the time they don't even deserve it, at least if it's random you know everyone had a fair chance.

The question isn't why do I kill. The question is, why I don't kill everybody.
You're not alone if that makes you feel any better. There's probably another 100,000-1000,000 of us that would like to get into the beta and have spent our time doing our best to get a key through contents. The bright side is that it exposes you to the community that is Diablo and we can all express our disappointment together. Ha....ok that doesn't probably help at all. At least there is D2 to hold us over.

I am such a big fan of the franchise that I cant get away from a chance to play the game sooner than the release day.
When there werent contests I used to check my battlenet account 3 or 4 times a day.
