Founders didn't make this game a reality. If they did they'd have to pay before the game was launched. By your thinking Alpha Testers are more important than Founders....With out Alpha input you would have nothing but bugs to deal with. Just because you spent money on multiple SG packages doesn't justify anything,least of all getting any other rewards than the ones given for the purchases. Important Financial Backing? Please....we're still in Beta. The SG stuff wasn't even needed yet.. And honestly.....complaining about a founder reward before it's even released? I don't know what type of logic you work with, but what I said has nothing to do with nor any baring on Alpha or Beta players for that matter, and frankly yes being a founder IS more important then being an Alpha, Beta or even Stress tester. I am not in any way saying these people and or titles are not important btw, however when it boils down to it AE and all its games are part of a business. When it comes down to it the whole point of a business is making money, sure it can be and hopefully is a passion for them as well because that will really reflect in their work, but I can promise you that if this game started to cost them more then they were making from it they would be doing something really fast to change it or they would shut it down. Choosing to be a founder for a game before it is even past it's beta stage IS a huge deal because there is truly no real protection from losing that invested money. Sure it isn't a huge amount for those of us who can work, but I value every dollar I both make and spend. It is not like pre-ordering a game from Gamestop or something only to find out it has been cancelled, because then you just go back and get a refund. That wouldn't happen here... So yes, it is a risk and while I truly think that AE has more then proven then know what they are doing and backing them to me is a fairly safe risk, it is STILL a risk. I don't know where you get off being so pompous towards me or my post, especially considering everything I said has both points to back it up and is done so in a way that SHOULDN'T offend anyone (and if it has I truly apologize for that as it was not my intent.) IF you feel the need to comment on my posts then I expect you to show me the same common courtesy I try my best to show everyone else on here. As for the comment about complaining on a founder reward that isn't even released yet? No, just no. I never said that the founder knight would be crap or that I wouldn't want it, what I said is that as a founder we deserve something that is special and has some significance to it. It would be nice if the founder reward was something that was both unique and had some sort of connection to Miltonius/Nulgath considering this is his game. Otherwise other then rarity how is it any different than having a Light Guardian or Berserker?
