I thought the idea behind the Foundry was to have new and original content produced by (very talented) players? This is in excess of the game, bringing fresh breath into the campaign, etc. Why is everyone raving and whinging because now they can't power-level their characters anymore using the loop-hole inadvertently added…
And if you came in before the 30th, you DID play earlier than others. To be clear, people paid (either $60 or $200) for ITEMS in-game and for EARLY access --- not for preferential treatment before and above everyone else the entire life of the game thereafter.
