I have abandoned all hope at the door... that way, when they release it, I will be pleasantly surprised!haha, good advice. That's basically what I am doing too.
Agreed. Better not to get your hopes up that way when it is released you're happy. If the reviewers are getting the gold version today though I don't really see why the beta testers can't get it. Honestly, with the balance changes and updates being put in the 0-day patch I figured they would wait so the reviewers are playing the best possible version. If the gold version has serious balance issues then that will show up in the review. I wonder what they were thinking when they decided to let reviewers get it when Frogboy said the other day that reviewers would be playing the 0-day patch version. Odd behavior when you're trying to get good reviews.
Anyway, here's hoping they surprise us with a Friday Night Gold release for Testers 
P.S. Hey Frogboy, you know technically I still do product reviews, so, that makes me a "Reviewer", can I have it now if I write up a glowing review? 
Just think of it as a "bribe" hehe, which we all know these review sites take bribes anyway which is why shitty games get good reviews and often great games get shitty reviews or worse no coverage at all.
