Get off your high horse buddy. You can try to justify it in any way you want to, it won't change the fact it's p2w

Nobody "wins" anything.

Pay to win:
When you can pay real money to gain advantage in a game.

Testing new content = getting information and routine = advantage when the update hits the prod servers and the new leagues start.

"Hurr durr you could get the same information by watching some a.hole streaming". no.. just no

Since many of you will have lots and lots of free time while you WAIT for the beta content to be open, here is a great cookie recipe:

Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies (makes about 4 dozen!!)
Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (12 ounces)
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, coarsely chopped (optional)

Directions
Heat oven to 350° F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars on medium-high speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. One at a time, beat in the eggs, then the vanilla. Reduce speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just combined (do not overmix). Mix in the chocolate chips and nuts (if desired) by hand.
Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the dough onto baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until golden around the edges but still soft in the center, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

You're welcome.

Is there any difference in taste if i used normal salt?

Yes. That is fine since you didn't know. It's technically not your fault. It's just GGG's decision is what is bothering me.

I get that. Think of it this way.... do you travel much? I do. Spend enough money with an airline, and they will show you gratitude in the form of gifts, free tickets, or what-have-you.

This isn't any different.

You know they aren't releasing all of the content on the beta server right? The beast is under wraps until release bro, Chill the F out.

This doesn't matter though. there is still content that CB players will have access to and will beable to strategize around before non CB players. that is not a fair equal level playing field.

Have you EVER been involved in a beta before? Sure we will be able to test (the appropriate word here) the system before other users, that happens in every single game. Are you mad at chris wilson cuz he got to play PoE before you and invested money into GGG because he now has an advantage? Dont be silly.

Also, if any one the real supporters showed ANY TYPE OF COMPASSION they would donate or give their KEY back to GGG because they don't want to hinder the equal level playing field.

I offered, actually. I will be away for a few weeks in May and felt my access was wasted. I also know people I'd rather be in the beta than myself, good people who really test thoroughly. No go.

So don't go assuming otherwise.

Nope. It's the fact that he let supporters into the beta that donated over a certain threshold. That was inappropriate and by the purest form literally P2W. Especially since the new leagues and the ladder that goes with it will be competitive. Obviously CB players will have an advantage. It's not fair and it's disrespectful to us loyal players who have been here far longer than most supporters but just havn't donated over $1,000...

I'm so sorry for not being able to donate that much, I really am. I wish I could, I really do.
