Clarification on why testing is restricted on tribble

Dear testers both current and future.
Ok let me just say this, I keep seeing people complaining about not being able to access Tribble yet. Well look at it this way.
The current phase of the testing for DQ is approximately the late Alpha beginning Closed Invite only beta. So as it pertains to who gets to test and who does not it only makes sense that there would be restrictions.
It just so happens that the people that can are Gold level members. Not only that there is not much to test at this point anyway. As with any beta test of this nature they are first making sure that the base code is stable to a certain degree and fixing bugs. They are also just adding small amount of content at a time. Once a significant portion of the content is ready they will move to a phase 1 open beta type of testing where the silver member will be welcome to come and test the content. Then lastly about a week before the release they will move to a phase 2 open beta and open Tribble up to all levels of members for stress testing of content. This is just how it's done and just me you are not missing much at this point.
Finally I say this as a warring as everyone has access to these forums at this time when you are not a designated tested does not normally happen and is my belief that the devs are trying to be nice. I hope this issue stop here as there have been way too many post about this in a forum that is supposed to be used for the discussion of the new content and I fear if it keeps up the devs may restrict the forums to just testers and those of you currently without access will not be able to keep up on anything that is going on with the testing.
Sorry this turned into a bit of a long post but it needed to be said.:cool:

I remember the first time we had closed beta testing for the expansion last year and that was a random invite to silvers and golds. That was mainly to test out the beginning content of the Romulan faction.
We have actually had a gold only testing period in recent times as far as I've been playing and that was during the season 8 tribble testing. I am thinking that they want to limit the amount of people that they actually have on the tribble server since the delta quadrant is a bigger attraction than the Romulans. At one point during open testing for the Expansion, there was a queue to get into tiribble, so they're looking to avoid that as long as possible.
