That's probably because some people, like myself don't think getting to play something for free makes anyone special in the first place. They offered, people said cool and chose to do so. Again, as far as I can tell, no one was personally recruited or paid to commit their time beta testing. I may be wrong about that in the very beginning.basically most alpha and beta testers want to prove that they have been with the community for a long time and have tested the game to other people. on the website i believe there is a portion that shows all the beta keys found but nothing for alpha keys.
A lot of people want the founder coin implemented and this seems like a pretty logical way to add it in, but some players dont think that alpha and beta testers should be recognized or get anything special since they were able to play the game early
It's not like tlopo told a bunch of people, here play this game and in the near future we will pay you or give you a free full game after it's on the market. tlopo doesn't corporately really owe beta testers anything except their thanks for playing folks. I'm trying to see it from a key holder, but other than I'd want some sort of cosmetic proof I was around, I don't see it as anything more involved than what non key holders where doing. Like I said, I think non key holders played the game even more, which is why tlopo made the offer than people already with keys.
I don't have anything more to add that I already said. Give the key holders, beta and alpha testers some cosmetic recognition, clothes, cap, sail emblem, something so they can show it and say they were there and did it. Just don't give a gun. Or special grenade. Green hair? Cool ship style? Ye, fer sure.
