that or bot testing. im pretty sure both. hell, testing your new bots in the new beta with your 5 invited accounts must be awesome.

Im sick of saying this, so this is the last time - that comment alone stinks of 'elitist jerk'

2.0.0 is for NEW players AND Vets. Not just Vets. If new players are dieing on the beach repeatedly, then there is an issue there that needs fixing.

Either in player education or mob balancing. Either way - it has flagged an issue that needs addressing.

Now stop being so elitist. Act4 isnt just for you - its for all current players, and *hopefully* a boat load of new ones.

For someone who feels the irrepressible need to justify his grotesque and loudly proclaimed sense of self-entitlement with some third rate psycho-babble, it's astonishing how blind you seem to be to your own preening and childish psychological need to be recognized and given due acknowledgment and dispensation by the powers that be at GGG. After all, goes the thinking, you've ponied up for numerous supporter packs, you've devoted enormous energy and time to playing the game, so you and others of your ilk should be treated with kid gloves, right, and given the toys you so brattishly think you deserve because you've paid your dues? Does the word 'tantrum' ring any bells with you?

So you've pushed some money GGG's way, and you consider this entitles you to some kind of favouritism, a little leg up, a surreptitious sidewise wink that essentially turns your financial support (and rewards) into what you otherwise construe as a belated bribe to give you access to the beta over the rest of the contemptible rabble?

Oh, and as for those countless hours labouring and sweating so devotedly to the game for GGG's sake, the sacrifice you've put in on their behalf that simply deserves its just reward! Really? So in reality you've actually put in more time than most playing a free game, for your own entertainment and amusement, and now consider all that time spent indulging in self-gratification a labour of love on GGG's behalf that entitles you to some kind of warped favouritism?

Basically, it would seem that some consider this an environment that mirrors the outside world, one where cronyism, nepotism, and money can be parleyed into influence and advantage. Clearly Chris and the others at GGG don't buy into such corrupting practices and favourtism, and for that they should be applauded, not criticized. It's the democratic principle at work, with old hands and neophytes on the same level playing field, and if some of you could actually remember what it was like to be new to the game I'm certain you'd appreciate such consideration.

Bottom line? It's JUST A FRICKING BETA TEST, not the keys to the kingdom! Excuse me for using a trite cliche, but get over yourselves. I dare say some of those doing the complaining don't even have any altruistic aim in terms of gaining access to the beta, but are looking for an edge when it finally goes on stream, or resent the fact that others might do so. Either way, the simple solution is to piggyback on the work being done by the streamers and follow the developments closely. For all the additional criticism being leveled at the apparent favouritism towards those streamers, the simple fact is that GGG is again doing the rest of the community a favour through such a medium by giving those without access to the beta a window into the whole thing.

I'm justifing people's anger as I understand it just as do you however they are not lesser people (like you claim) for failing to repress a strong urge, my good sir. They have a right to criticise and nobody has the right to trivialise thier criticisms as simple "self-entitlement".

I would personally love access but I actually have other games and stuff to do(shock and horror?). You didnt quote a word I said btw, can i gather from that you really are looking for somewhere to complain yourself? You have no grounds for your complaint as I have only defended someones right to criticise GGG's decisions I haven't personally said that I should be chosen for access, I understand peoples deeply felt disappointment, you only seek to besmirch other users.
