Dev's You better answer!

Okay, but I still believe that adding inactives is the right call, time will tell which end is correct.

Adding inactives would be a good call in an advanced beta. In a early alpha it's an awful one that will bring more harm then good.

This, of course, beyond the undeniable fact that making a rule and then not honoring it in the face of your paying customers is *never* a good call.

Now I do believe that in Beta we should have a more increased chance of getting in. That's how I will feel. alpha is chip change compared to Beta is the big dollar bills. That's why I didn't mind Inactives getting into Alpha ( it's only a stress test mainly anyways). Beta is where the "actual" testing starts for the content and what not.. in which I firmly believe the people that stood here through thick and thin should get in before inactives.

People that stood here through thick and thing should get in before inactives always. It's a simple matter of customer satisfaction and fidelization. Taking your existing customers for granted and disadvantaging them in favor of new customers is a very basic marketing mistake.

I hope that was their way of thinking.

If it was they wouldn't have put in the rule against inactive accounts to begin with.

This story is too full of contradictions to find a logical justification to it. It's a blunder. Simple as that.
