Yes you supported them by buying support packs, etc... but in the eyes of statistics, you aren't any more important than any other account holder. The fact you spent money doesn't necessarily make your opinion mean more than someone else's. They aren't be specifically unfair to you, they are trying to be as fair as possible to everyone. the fact you're aren't getting preferential treatment seems unfair to you, but if they did give you that, then it would be unfair to everyone else by that very same logic.

By the same token, I don't necessarily disagree with giving supporters early access, or enhanced access or something similar. I'm not a supporter, yet, and I don't see giving back to your supporters as unfair to those who haven't, but it's not a right. Demanding just makes you seems selfish and immature to a certain point. I would also point out that this is just the first phase of the beta roll out; they aren't done yet. Perhaps your contributions will be rewarded in another way later.

I have to disagree, those willing to contribute should be more important than those who offer nothing. Even when it comes to statistics and all emotions aside money is business that's the bottom line.

I can understand that you think they should be fair by giving everyone an equal shot to participate even if they have contributed nothing.

But you're wrong, it is perfectly fair to give preference to those who contribute or have contributed over those who don't or haven't.

I can't speak for anyone else but as far as demands go the only thing I feel entitled to is a considerate response from GGG to those of us that care enough to feel really upset about this.

Damn right I'm selfish, I put time and money into this game it's important to me.

It's amazing how many people call others selfish or immature just because they don't care about something half as much.

Everyone is selfish and if you care enough about something you might come off as immature too when voicing how upset you are.

But I would hope my responses aren't coming off as immature, that is a serious thing to me, I don't think my feelings are irrational.

I would prefer to pay 30 or 50 € to get unique 1 key for my game, end of story :p

GGG could've made a lot of money this way, just make a "Act IV Beta Supporter Pack"

$50 (or euros), 400 GGG gold, a beta key and some other little thing.

Would've made them a ton. Just my opinion...but alas not my/our decision to make.

that would be the worst cash cowing since EA. creating a hype, keeping the beta invites low but sell keys anyways. i dont think ( hope ) this will happen.

http://icurse.nl/betalist/ <- this makes me sad. there are so many 0 post and new accounts. GGG will never see feedback from this users.
