beta keys.... i feal cheted

[J0lly]

ok this is a little annoying. Off and on now over since 04 i have been checking in on STO, i feel that it is a little bit of a cheat now that cryptic is giving 100 beta keys away here 5 there. now im not complaning that thay are going out it just feels like this isent a beta at this point . at this point it feels like a free demo trial....

now correct me if im wrong but a beta is to:
find glitches
-locate items and ability that need nurfing
-making sure there are no holes in the floor to fall through
that the game is ready for all systems
-to find out what drivers/hardware configurations brake the game and how to work around the issue's
....

and a million other bugs

i just want to know why there was no hardware check on betas, and why we don't seem to have qualified beta testers i predict lots of bugs if cryptic doesn't get real with who they pick as beta candidates.

**this is not a atempt to whine to get a key i just think criptic needs to get real testers not random hardware and Contest winners

I dont think you really needed to make a thread on this, there are enough of these already. I am a littled irritated about those gamestop offers and offers on sites I cant understand the language of. Right now it kind of is a demo trial, as its likely the servers are up only two days a week and for a brief time each day.
