listen and i mean this from the bottom of my heart. don't. if you want to have a way to give back to the people of the game randomly dropping keys on twitter is not the way.

dropping a keys this way can easily be botted by someone, if you are looking for a way to do giveaway do it through a retweet system or some otherway cause just randomly dropping a key with give a unfair advantage.

We will be running new ways to give out Alpha Keys outside of the random drawings. Surprise and Delight ways of getting keys to people is just one tactic of many that we will be implementing between now and Closed Beta. I understand your concerns about keys being botted.

We currently have a very dedicated group in our forums giving great and constructive feedback. I agree not everyone who we invite in will take the extra step and provide us feedback in the forums but they are providing us a huge amount of feedback by them simply playing the game and interacting with our systems. Anecdotal forum feedback is just one vector of the value we get out of having players in the game. We collect a lot of hard data on how players engage with the game.
