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,

    Hi,

     

    I would like to thank for the valuable comments and updated information. But, first of all, i want to make clear the purpose which i intended while i was writing the first message;

     

    First, i have never thought to be the one selected in each Roadtest. There were Roadtest which i did not attend since either i had the Roadtested product or i did not interest in it. I am indicating this for i do not desire to be misunderstood.

     

    Second, why did i say "I have lost my excitement" ? I said this because i was feeling like that while i wrote the message. It would be unfortunate to limit my feelings to just only not being a winner. It is just a small part of it. The big reason of it is that i was not only visiting the Roadtest group for enrolling myself but also reading Reviews and comments to reviewes plus user questions posted under this section. But i can not see reviewes any more as usual. Almost none. Just a few, that is all.

     

    So, this made me some disappointed. Thus, i started to visit the group less than normal that i do as usual. In the meantime, not seing the winners list also caused to cease my interest to the group. Alistair, so much sorry that i did not know the winners list were being published in the Enroll box. In the past, i was used to see the winner list as in a different message. My mistake, sorry again.

     

    Every member in this group has equal rights and can be awinner for any of the Roadtests. Yet, winners should be encouraged to post their reviews. This is my opinion, though.

     

    By the way, unfortunately, i am not receiving group events andupdates any more. For example, when a new Roadttest started, i only know it while i was visiting E14 main page for the new messages. I see roadtest section has a new picture which presents a new Roadtested product. Sometimes, Roadtest section updates its picture components a bit late, i enroll myself after a new Roadtest has started for a few days. Maybe this is the reason that Alistair updated the winners list under Enroll box but i did not know this since i did not receive any event message.

     

     

    Alistair, as for your updated information, it looks very nice and i will be impaitently waiting for the discussions you made come to a decision and making the result public.

     

    Cheers all,
