Handing out 1 or 2 hundred beta keys to community sites is hardly going to result in a realistic "stress test", lol
I expect Wildstar will do a REAL stress test beta weekend closer to their actual release. At that point, they'll most likely dish out a few 100K beta keys to the big game sites.

Yeah not going to waste time on that to do Carbine's testing for them. I signed up for beta through my NCSoft account and until something better comes up I'll leave it at that.
Personally I'm really sick of Carbine giving away keys to fansites that will randomly be given to random Joes out there when there's people who signed months ago for the Beta and are STILL waiting for something...

Stress test beta invites are being handled by Carbine directly, and are only valid for the coming weekend. The ones being offered by community fan sites are for the longer beta period (not just this weekend).

Yeah, this happens with a lot of games and it never ceases to annoy.
I really wanted to play this game. Signed for Beta ages ago with my friends. But what I didnt get beta key. I played beta tests in a lot of games. It was never been so hard to get the key. Acctually my friends got beta key for the third time. Ty for getting new players involwed. I am gonna play beta games in other games.
Im tired of all the communities demanding us to do something in order to be able to participate in the Giveaway, just freaking do a normal "Click this button, to get key" And if there are still keys free, then you get one. i dont have time to spend hours watching some random stream just so there is a 1/1000+ chance of me getting a key, or for that sake "send us and email with this and that" and then maybe you will get lucky. Why can't Carbine/NCSoft just be in charge of handing out all the freaking keys, it would be much easier, then having check 10+ sites constantly.

Carbine, like most devs/publishers, give keys to fan sites as a reward for advertising and supporting their product. Im sure Carbine gives out plenty of keys directly themselves regardless of whats given to fan sites

Carbine gives away 3000+ every Monday, not including this weekend's stress test or the small number of keys given to fansites.
If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game.

Not many keys being given away.
Also seems like you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get them.
Agreed. Although I'm doing the jumping...it's starting to become a pain.
