Lost my excitement

firatkocak

Hi,

 

There have been so much times since the roadtest started. In the past times, there were less users, as a result of this, we had more chance to be selected as a winner and then tested the roadtested product. But now, being a winner is really really difficult. And i don't know who are the winners, before a winner presented his/her review. A roadtest starts, users enroll theirselves, a roadtest ends, we wait for a review to be posted and then we know "huh, here is one of the winners". There are little of reviews then expected. By the way, i would really like to know the ratio of the reviews posted by the products roadtested.

 

I know, if there are so many requests and less service, it is impossible to fullfill the all the requests. This is the fact that we know and accept. So, what i am doing ? When a new roadtest starts, i enroll myself and forget the rest of the process. If i am a winner, i will learn it by either a message from Alistair or will suprisingly receive a package.

 

So, i have lost my excitement about roadtest. I am just an ordinary user who enrolls himself and less visit the group, because there is so much less chance to win and there is almost no any review posted.

 

Cheers,

  • Firat,

     

    I feel your pain (Translate: I know what you mean), I too feel a little less significant as the RoadTest membership has grown.  But as you know the element 14 website does offer more that road tests.  I only hoped that as the site knew, the communication to the membership would improve, as well as the reviews.  In some cases, the reviews have improved, but most remain about the same.  It would be interesting to see how many winners never file a review.  As to the membership communication, it started to get better, but then dropped almost completely off.  I do wish they would publish a winners list.  They haven't for the last 4 or 5 drawings.  Hang in there.

    Gordon,

     

    Thanks for your valuable thoughts. I agree with all your comments. Yes, Element-14 website offers some free stuffs. Winner list is no more announced. User communication is almost done. There are few reviewes. I hope everything will get well soon.

    I understand what you are saying, but obviously not everyone can be selected all the time. So yes, it will be far and few between if there are limited numbers of freebeis to hand out. I too wish there was a better winner notification as I missed out on one road test already. I was selected for one of the first ones but had no Idea and I didn't get my address back to them in a timely mannor.

     

    However, those that do recieve a freebie needs to post a review. If not then that person needs to be taken off the list for any future handouts. After all, that is the whole point of giveing it away.
