I know at least one person not on the list of current people, who does not live in the United States.
As for the list, throw my name on it. I got an invite as well. PvX ftw This should prove to be a wonderful experience. I hope we can all do a great job for you guys. ^_^ <3

Linsey has a couple of more ideas up her sleeve
@Anon: There are a lot of non-US players on the Krewe, yes.

We will keep an eye on the Test Krewe project as a whole, and how it is progressing. If we feel it is appropriate, we might consider inviting more people at a later date.

Grats to everyone who made it in the Krewe. Don't screw up our game
My life was too busy at the time to apply
*More crew possible later date? That would really be nice, especially if some didn't live up to expectations*

will you post the list, which Anet sent to you of everyone that's been selected, all 200 of them, please?
let me ask you some questions:
is it possible that you only know a small fraction of the people selected?
of the 5,000,000 or so copies of GW sold, what is your estimate of people that play primarily PvP and primarily PvE?
is it possible that Anet selected more PvE'ers than PvP'ers because there are more PvE'ers than PvP'ers?
is it possible that Anet, as a business, may want to cater to their larger demographic in order to sell more copies of future games?
is it possible that some of the PvE'ers may be asked what it would take to get them interested in PvP, and then for the PvP'ers who were selected to also give input?
is it possible that some of the PvP'ers may be asked what it would take to get them interested in PvE, and then for the PvE'ers who were selected to also give input?
is it possible to get 2 teams of 8 experienced PvP'ers, from the entire list of 200 people, to test whatever updates may happen to HA and GvG before the updates are released to the public?
is it possible that you have absolutely no idea what the test krewe is actually going to be asked to do?

Huhu...
Someone correct me if I'm wrong. On the form there was a question related to your gaming style. More than half of the answers were about PvP? My first thought was "It's not fair".
I'm a bit disappointed (got some experience in the gaming industry) but I'm trying not to take it as a personal insult (like most of the people probably do). I just don't suit the profile they've set
On the good side... instead of sitting 12 hours a day on the test server I'll continue with my education - some serious exams ahead. Oh yea... and I've got job too. And a wife

I don"t think that the test krew needs to work 12hours a day. One reason is the test krew does it for free. So they just help anet wenn they want by login in and helping with testing stuff. Its no job which need to be done each moment of the day. Most people got school and other stuff or a real job.

I KNOW the top HA-scene. No-one of real value to HA got selected. (Including me)
So I don't need to know the 200 people that got selected. I'm not bitching about the 200 people that got selected, I'm bitching about the people that DIDN'T get selected. (AKA people who know the ropes of HA) -My focus primarily is HA, as GvG is relativly well supported in the Krewe-

1) PvP'ers are like Turbo Diesels compared to Diesels. (PvE'ers) They are everything PvE'ers are and more.
Do you think PvP'ers don't play top PvE? No, they do, alot even. They just get bored with the repetitive grind, and that's when they PvP.
Is the opposite true? Nope. A top PvE'er who didn't know who or what a Guild Lord actually did, I have seen it.
-And before you go there: Some top PvP'ers indeed play few PvE, nearly NO top PvE'ers actually play some PvP-
The truth is that the PvP community IS the smarter community. If you want to believe otherwise, so be it, than I'm finished discussion this topic.
So in short:
Picking 200 top PvP'ers would mean you got 200 people who know how PvP works, and know how PvE works aswell. (win win)
Picking 200 top PvE'ers would mean you got 200 people who know how PvE works, but BARELY know what Claim Resource actually does.
See where I'm getting at?

Then stop promoting GW as a competitive PvP game. They're only doing false marketing. GW hasn't been competitive since long, I know (I find checkers to be more exciting than GW), but atleast there always was a split between PvE and PvP.

GW is a dead grind game. Only few still try to contradict this. With no non-repetitive end-game content whatsoever, PvE'ers ARE SUPPOSED TO GO TO PvP.
If they STICK to PvE, they do so for a reason: They're not competitive enough to play PvP -majority of the cases- OR they simply like to farm, and refarm, and refarm some more.
Tough, I'dd love to see more PvE'ers find their way to PvP myself, they do NOT need more catering. Heroways in HA and GvG already brought PvP down a redicilous level.
So we do NOT need PvE'ers/PvP'ers deciding how we can get more PvE'ers to PvP, we already have enough problems to deal with. Instead, work on some serious PvE content. -Which won't happen anyways-

Dumb question. I have yet to find a PvP'er who hasn't reached PvE end-games. Even if for the PvE skins.
Let me lay it out for you:
Buy GW: PvE -> End-Game -> PvP
This is the route you should, and 99.5% of the people DID, follow. Also, why would we want to promote ANYONE into doing GW PvE? It's not a game like WoW where PvE is something that deserves promoting. What will you promote about GW PvE? "You now only have to kill this boss 900 more times instead of 950 for your next armor with exactly the same skin as your previous one"

They haven't given any information on this yet. And if they will do it this way, I'll be pleased. No, If they DON'T do it this way, I'll be severely displeased. And regardless of how they'll do it, they once again failed severly hard in their selections nontheless. (Noxify has been inactive for months, yet he got selected? I'm NOT calling him out, it clearly is his right to sign up for the contest)
Some people that got selected shouldn't have won, and the fact that I can pick em out just like that says how blatantly obvious it is they didn't put any effort in selecting the LTK.

There always is that .1% chance they will be asked to bake cookies and cake for Anet. But I doubt it.
Test builds on private servers. This requires an EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE of skills (something which most PvE'ers don't have), effects and mechanics.
Post feedback and suggestions.

It seems that people just want this thread to degrade to another PvE vs. PvP argument, and as such it has very limited value.
Martin and Regina have posted some responses to people's concerns, but the reality is that there are going to be people unhappy about not getting in and unhappy about who did *apparently* get selected to get in.
I suggest that if people want to have a constructive discussion about the LTK that they instead start a new thread focused on that, and leave out the ranting about the selection process and such.
