So in other words.
Thanks for helping us figure out what our job is, we only let you play because we couldn't figure it out for ourselves. And now that we finally understand what the players want, we don't need you anymore. Goodbye. lolz.
Aren't all MMO developers guilty of this? I mean unless some developer is going to tell their beta testers "Great job guys, as a reward you get to play the game free for life."

You can't really use a volunteer. You signed on to this crew. Whether or not the ship sank is irrelevant. We all know the risk that comes with MMOs. Very few of us can claim in honesty to be first timers here.

This is almost a perfect example of number 2, only you're being honest about it. You like the game. You just don't want to have to pay for it.

I give you a like for honesty.
