Weird argument. Other people were lucky enough to get to play the beta way longer than the rest of us... and now Blizzard wants to give them extra things in the game?
You have to have a really wierd sense of "reality" if you don't see how this is dumb as shit.

1 - You can still get 100% achievements, feat of strength don't count towards progress
2 - Look at SC2 feat of strength; there are some pretty exclusive ones. No one cried about them.
http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Feats_of_Strength_achievements#Feats_of_Strength
-Buy Blizzcon ticket
-Buy CE
-Buy WoW cataclysm CE
It's just something they add to your account to say : Hey, you were in the beta or in this event!
3 - There will be a buy the CE FoS as well, no one crying about that one.
This is the most ridiculous thing to get angry about I've ever heard of. "First world problem" doesn't even cut it here. Find a new reason to hate on Blizzard.

Honestly I thought the Diablo III class sigil prelaunch thing was unfair too. Sure people who'd check the website daily would get it but I'm sure there are plenty of people (who may be big Diablo fans but may not have time to check the site or may just simply want to avoid all D3 related news) who probably missed out on it (and unfortunately they'd have no way of providing evidence that they're hipster nerds to others).
You can still claim all of those until 18th May. I didn't pick up any till tomorrow when I got all of them. Although they're almost as pointless as the Feat of Strength but something to fuel ones obsession while waiting the launch I suppose. Couldn't care less on either case really, if they gave the best item in the game for people that got beta invite maybe then.
Exactly, they basically update the normal B.net site too every week with a class update. It's on every fansite. I mean if you've missed the whole reveal site you probably don't really care that much. Most of my friends also don't care much at all for the sigils when I tell them about them.
I also think it's kinda unfair to give players who are already blessed with the beta another extra. But just a sigil isn't the end of the world. Just a way to show that you were in beta, nothing else. And like every feat of strength, it isn't included in the 100%, so it won't even be listed anywhere, but under the FoS tab.

Difference being that you can buy the CE to get the FoS, and CEs almost always give out things in-game, cosmetic stuff. I don't mind people paying more for the game getting something cute. But tons of people wanted that beta badly and didn't get it and now they won't get that FoS either.
It doesn't matter how useless the FoS is, it's an issue of principle, you don't kick your own fans in their balls.

Tons of people wanted that beta so badly? They had an open beta weekend for everyone. Be happy. Most closed betas never open up like that.

So you must hate the Blizzcon one too right? Those get sold out immediatly so it's unfair to give people a feat of strength when they were lucky enough to go to Blizzcon!

That thread was pretty insane lol but even I understand the bitterness for some people who went to extremes and got nothing and now miss out on a lil more. Would of been better for Blizz to do this after the game came out i think.

Well, i get it because i am better then you ofcourse! But seriously, its a title, based on some random crap. Not like you have defeated Inferno with your feet or something, it shows nothing and tells nothing.

LOL you sir, who is bent out of shape over some pixelated title on a video game, are the one who has lost his touch with reality. I really feel bad for you bud.

I agree. The fact that some people are getting their panties in a twist over a feat of strength is mindblowing. Or, perhaps not mindblowing, since one would expect bnet forum denizens to complain about everything, but this is a little extreme even by those standards. The only people who should be complaining are an incredibly small (I pray) group who value achievements over gameplay, and the FoS doesn't even count on any official achievement list. IT MAKES NO SENSE.
It's perfectly fine for Blizz to give a little pat on the back to their beta testers IMO. They had the opportunity to test it, so props to them, they get a worthless extra title, it's not like it even offers an in-game advantage.

It is a banner sigil and a feat of strength. I think it's kinda messed up for Blizzard to basically say "Hey, remember that beta you really wanted to get in on for the last year and couldn't? Well those that did get lucky also get something else you can't have for getting to play our game early too, even if they never even did anything!" but some of the comments on it on B.Net you would think it's the end of the world.
I cancelled my CE of ME3 over the way they handled their DLC, in this case it's maybe worth a "well that sucks...".

I think it's a matter of how much emotional investment you had in getting the beta. I beta-tested HoN for a fairly long period before it came out, I bought the game before it was released, and when it went F2P I got super-nice benefits because I was in it (relatively) early and helped the devs test their game. The companies don't give stuff to their beta testers as "fuck you" to people who weren't beta testers, and it's really really small-minded and idiotic to think of it that way. If anyone had reason to get mad at anybody, it was the people who came in to HoN after it went F2P but didn't have legacy accounts. But even when I played HoN after the switch, nobody went "OMG HE WAS A BETA TESTER FUCK S2," even though I technically had a huge advantage over some of them because I could pick any hero while they couldn't. There was nowhere near as much outrage because most people thought it was fair for the beta testers to be rewarded in some way, especially those who had put money down on the game.
Now here's what different with the D3 beta crap. In HoN what happened was ok because we had put money down on the game while it was in development and stuff, so we got to keep our all the benefits of our old-style legacy accounts. In D3 beta, there were no benefits, there was no change of business model, nobody who was in the beta inherits any game-altering abilities or significant way of putting themselves ahead of someone who was not in the beta. All they get is a cosmetic bonus because they helped test the game as it went through content changes/adjustments. That's it. And people have the gall to be outraged over that? All this rage over a cosmetic change whose only significance is distinguishing beta testers from non-beta testers? That's fucking retarded.

It sucks to play WoW, want to collect everything there is to the game, and find out theres a ton of stuff you can never get because they decided to make it exclusive years before you even started. D3 was a fresh start for collectors, and they start it off by shitting on everyone who didn't get randomly picked to beta test (play d3 exclusively for free). It burns a hole in my heart having to see that and knowing that as stupid as I am to continue completing the game, it'll forever be incomplete.
It's not understandable unless you have OCD. Lol.
