It's 'open beta' in only it's name. The reason I see that they call it open beta, is so they have that defense that you guys are so righteously trying to shove down our throats. If we wait 12 months to point out mistakes, the game will have failed by then. I had extremely high hopes for this game, and I still attempt to…
It depends on what you paid for. The AD and mount, but free 20 other items, or however many they gave out? Or pay for the 20 items and get free AD and mount? Doesn't matter how you look at it, you paid $200 for a F2P, and got benefits for paying that much, and they sweeten the deal by giving extra.
You already got 5 days headstart. You got free AD. You got a free Tier 3 mount. I've got an idea. Every person who paid $200 gets insta-level 60, fully geared, and ready to go. We can even start with all of the special minions, all maxed out. ....Totally a good idea.
