The Awakening Item Page and Top-Tier Supporter Beta Access

This is good.

I want to see the face of those people who said supporters are self-entitled in the past few days.

I did support GGG and am a great fan of the game, but was not expecting to read through such comment posted by GGG... Sounds like pay to win scenario in a polite polished form.

Pay to win? Win what? You're not getting a head start on anything, league will be cleared when it finishes and nearly all the currently accessible items, gems and mechanics are available to the public.

I feel like some people owe GGG an apology, especially if this was planned from the start.

It feels like GGG should apologize to themselves since they could have mentioned this and saved themselves lots of hate.

However only selecting certain supporters seems kinda meh to me. Maybe because I have supported them as much as I can, yet I won't be getting beta key. Only divine and master supporter. Although I did buy other mtx or stash tabs while not buying another pack. Me personally I am past the point of caring how they do this beta anymore. It seemed like it couldn't get worse and it has. One thing I will say though, is I will carefully think about supporting more cash than I already have to GGG.

You won't be getting beta key? Aren't you a divine and master supporter?

GGG jumps on the moneytrain next stop SELLING beta keys for 1000dollar (+ a few points).

GGG turning in to Blizzard welcome to the game guys pay to play.

You sir must have been dropped at birth, no where did the supporter packs state that you would get access to Beta keys in advanced. The game is not pay to win so stop QQing and try to make PoE look that way. SO what if they give us Top Tier supporters keys, its a nice thank you from GGG for supporting the game and helping it get to what it is today, the beta will be wiped when its done. I admit i was a little disappointed when i didnt get a key at first, but now reading this I feel much better, the love I've shown for this game reciprocated thanks again GGG. Remember kids , supporter packs are purely cosmetic and supportive, and beta testing is purely just that. Stop trying to make this about pay2win..

Haven't read the replies to this thread ...

My gut feelings, knee-jerk-reaction is ... that if GGG is going to grant beta access based on account donations, then it should be for the entire sum of that account, over time. Friends/guildmates of mine that play this game have donated large sums of money over the past couple of years that would match the amounts of certain high-tier supporter packages, but since they didn't do it all at once, they are excluded. Just thinking that if I was in there position, I'd feel a bit slighted.

That being said, I can not deny that I'm excited to play beta, come tomorrow. The folks I play with the most are higher-end caliber adults that contribute a ton of financial support to this development team. I wish I could play with them ...

Right idea wrong implementation...access for supporters should be based on total amount of support and not by who's given enough in a single donation.

I agree, I've spent over $500 equivalent of a master pack, but sadly no key for me since I didn't dump all my cash at the same time.

Poe is now Pay to win Kappa

Anyone saying this needs to just, stop.

Pay to win/play means that you pay in advance to achieve a known benefit.

Going back and saying: Hey, you guys gave us HUGE chunks of money, come help us test.

IS NOT THE SAME THING.

^Divination cards

The "combined value" supporters would like access too please.

Sweet!!!
