Blizzard Entertainment emailed a thank you letter to all Shadowlands Alpha Testers, and I am surprised to say that they have included a personalized overall infographic stats of some of the top activities we participated in.
There is a lot of info here. I submited 168 bug reports, and completed 2908 quests. Well, I did play Exile’s Reach with all the classes, and then a few extra runs. The Shadowlands Intro Questline at least 3 times. Played both Alliance and Horde. Still, geez… that’s a lot of quests.
It feels like a diploma, and I hope those who participated feel appreciated by Blizzard Entertainment. “Tear to my eye. My genius has been recognized!” — Junkrat
