@blacshonjak Alpha and Beta testing (done right) are interesting. The goal is to find things that work oddly, report them, and ideally have a method to reproduce them so they can be fixed.
It's still good fun in the game, although it is a little different. Think of it as trying to help make the game be the best it can be for launch, and you won't go wrong. Think of it as early time in the game for yourself, and it's pretty much just that (personally, that means that mindset is a wasted opportunity to help the developers and yourself both, but... that's my thoughts on it).
