WoW Moviewatch: Mists of Pandaria Beta is Not a Joke

This video is really more about the players than the game, as the best of Wowcrendor's videos tend to be. Most importantly, he addresses the players who treat beta as more like a promotional version of the game than a testing experience. I think how much you enjoy this video will probably depend on how much patience you have with the grouchier parts of our community.

nay, for wowcrendor is the chosen prophet of Warcraft.

I am truly shocked an dismayed at the number of people complaining beta is buggy. Yes, and guess why you're here, beta player...

I know, right? I had to listen while one of my guildies did nothing but complain about how little there was to do, how messed up the class balance was, etc. Me and some others kept on mentioning 'well, it's beta, that is what you are supposed to be testing' but they did. not. stop. It was made worse by the fact that me and one other guildy who signed up for the AP are waiting for our invites, and we both want to get in to actually TEST it and play around with how things are progressing. As in, we don't expect it to be like a actual game yet.
When I saw this vid, I just started laughing. It is so ridiculously true in some ways (as in, most of them).

Those complaints make no sense! If there weren't any bugs that would mean the game is done and they should just release it. If the Beta version was perfect people would complain about the game not being released yet!

...I was hoping the guy that needed to beta test the lava would be back...

Suffice to say.....too many irons in the fire....the monster machine is trying, but only so much movement can be tolerated....I think they're doing a great job.

I don't normally like wowcrendor, but this one took my constant tension headache down a notch. Thanks, guy!

As alway, Crendor hits the nail right on the head! I don't know why but when things are this On The Nose, I find them hilarious. ;) :D

LOL. Yeah that pretty much sums up 80% of the people who signed up for the beta pass.

He nailed 50% of the posters on MMO Champ

Like I say every beta: If beta didn't have bugs, then it would be live! :)

I actually didn't find this particularly funny, and by no fault of Crendor's. He usually goes for an over-the-top and over-dramatized style to point out the ridiculousness of the topic at hand (I AM PULLLLIIING EEEEEVVVEEERRRYYYTTHHHIIIING!!), but with this one he hit the nail so squarely on the head that it just felt annoying. I'm pretty sure everything the Tauren said could have been copy/pasted off of the forums of 25 different websites.
Again, not a criticism of Crendor. I'm just more than a little annoyed with the playerbase these days and this video summed up exactly why.
