"Hello everyone,
Admission to testing takes a while because we have tens of thousands applications. I am sure you will get an invitation sooner or later. Hope you will join us. I will probably add everyone who submitted an application(of course if he/she had not written age 666 and other funny trolling lokes)

.. so, you are mad at him for basically saying "you will get invited as long as you aren't a troll, but it takes time so just wait" ? Kinda rushed for someone whos work requires a lot of patience and regularity. I've been mad at WG quite often, but never over nothing.
Nope, I'm just tired that, again(lost count how many times this happened), WG has announced something and has given no timely updates on how it is going. If you want people to be interested and if they are interested at least you can write down 5 lines in an announcement daily about how acceptances are going and make a basic plan for people to know when they should expect an invite and when not. Case in point:
Big announcement is made.
People rush to sign up.
WG gets flooded.
Only 4 days later they give another news statement to that fact.(although they mentioned it on the forums a few times, so word of mouth basically warned people 2 days earlier than the announcement).
There is that vague statement that most probably everyone will get in, with no details on duration at all.
Now silence. No people who signed up have any idea what's going on.
Overlord has a statement buried in the Q&A thread saying that the acceptances have been stopped until sometime next week.
No official news on the main page at all.
Do you get it? All people needed was a plan and some updates for the acceptance process so they don't have false hopes. Keep people informed and most of them will feel that WG cares about their application and they will be happy.
All that was needed was 5 lines of text in an official news report daily.
The cloack and dagger forum thing with overlapping and contradictory posts by devs just doesn't cut it.
Edit: after this I fully expect to not get in, but someone had to say it for the masses.
