Try posting without the incentive of a beta key. That's what I did and I won, imagine my surprise. The real kicker is I would have won either way, because I enjoy my time here on the forums.
Its called viral marketing... where news spread fast whether good or bad doesnt matter. Alot of people is going to talk about diablo 3 the minority few that get a beta key and the big majority that got nothing. So blizzard wins no matter what. Do you honestly think that those who cry the loudest for not getting the key will not be the first to be playing diablo 3 when it is released... I think not. After a month all will be forgotten once they announce the release. So blizzard still wins no matter what. So why even get mad or upset? Its not like the game will not be release!

that seems like the best way to do it as the title of the post says, i to give up on trying to answer the facebook question, alot of people are way faster
And thats awesome how you won! Congratulations
ya the facebook thing is kinda tiring its frusterating staring at a browser screen for hours
Facebook is a huge waste of time in the first place, if you want to see what people really matter in your life. Delete facebook. And see if anyone calls you.
If it were several months ago, I would be making three or four accounts on Diablofans and making arbitrary, overdone topics just to try and fish a beta key. I would be on facebook constant refreshing for hours on end. Unfortunately my excitement towards beta has dwindled significantly. I would still love to get in, but I am not willing to go to such great lengths. I will continue posting if I have something productive to say, disregard the sentence requirement for the beta key contest.

Yeah FB is definitely the worse. There are people who just camp it out. Although I'm constantly amazed at how people can just stare at the same screen and click refresh all the time. At least on the forums there are interesting stuff to read and sometimes you even learn useful bits of information.
The best shot that most of us have is the random forum giveaway. Most of us here are people that tried to answer the questions on twitter or facebook but are just unlucky and too slow. Refreshing at that .1 second faster than another person is all it takes. Hopefully they will start handing out more and more beta keys as it gets closer to release. And if not I'm sure most of us will try it out anyways. Goodluck to everyone trying to get there key, I know I will keep on trying.
Wait, how can you blame Blizzard for that?
Blizzard only gives out the Beta keys, how the fansites hands them out is all up to them.
And people getting angry about a beta seriously need to step away from their PC's.
QFT!
I don't see how people can be mad at blizzard for how certain sites decided to hand out their keys, there are quite a few sites that don't require more then posting some constructive posts or registering and just hope for the best.
Ok I want to say a big thank you to Diablo Fans. Out of the blue, and I got a beta key. Thank you. I probably go play the beta and come back and share my experience. And to everyone still waiting for a key, please stay positive and someone might just listen to your prayer.
If u dont try u never know so dont give up and not know.
eyo. don't give up bro. I am in the same situation as yours. in my previous posts, I said this is a stupid thing that you give away keys in this way. how do you know that the keys are sent to the people really want it or haven't got it yet? no, this forum has no idea who really wants a key. all they want is to get more visitors which I belive they have achieved.
how about BLZ? yes, they are supporting those guys who playing around their fans with the keys. why not give keys from those opt in? I had enough! lie after lie, waiting after waiting! doesn't make BLZ looking good at all. we love Biablo, not people who using it to make endless money!
The one thing to console us all is that within a few months (god forbid please don't jinx me) we shall ALL be playing the retail version of D3. It's great that we at least get to watch a whole lot of footage of the game on youtube and as a fan community are kept up to date with development matters which a lot of other games do not have. I cannot wait for this game to come out. I wonder how all these fansites will be affected once the game actually comes out? It will be hard to drag myself away from the game!
You are not alone as stated multiple times in this thread. And I can totally relate to you and everyone else waiting for a beta key. What gets me the most is the feeling of not knowing if D3 will be out in April or June, or (knowing blizzard) Christmas... If only I had a date of release I could at least cling to it for comfort. Ive set alarm clocks to wake me in the middle of the night to browse d3db, F5ing twitter for 4 hrs before the next question and ive completely given up on facebook. Also, by not being creative nor a good writer I feel I cant really contribute on the forums. So im more of a lurker.
Anyway, best of luck to you all. And lets hope they announce a date soon, I think that will help still the hunger brewing within!
Hopefully atleast one person in this thread will get one. The 99% has to stick together guys. The 1% with beta access can't oppress us anymore!!! Occupy Diablofans.

You don't see how? Well, they (Blizzard) could just put all those keys for the opt-in instead of handing them to fansites and that's it. If you win you win, no hassle. But they (Blizzard) want random Twit and FB spam 'cause that will make'em more attractice somehow.
