Why should you get anything extra? You didn't have to pay the $20.
You'll probably get whatever beta items the rest of us get, because we are all beta testers, no matter how we got in.

Well the 20 bucks I guess is the mercenary pack included with the closed beta access. This still feels ****** to me though. And yes I think anyone who paid SHOULD get something extra, because we are essentially paying to test their game. In the past testers got payed to test games, this is utter crap.

You would have a valid point, but we didn't HAVE to pay, nobody did. I paid, because I wanted to - I don't care if the Beta sucks, or if I will be addicted forever, I paid, accepted the terms and conditions and agreed to no refunds.
You made a conscious decision to put your money towards Beta access, regardless of what rumors were going around about PS+ players.
"because we are essentially paying to test their game" - that's not true either, Closed Beta = small numbers.
We're lucky CCP gave us the chance to pay to play it (and get DLC) - most closed Beta's are CLOSED, for sake of smaller numbers.

Lucky? You seriously think that? THEY NEED PEOPLE TO TEST THEIR GAME. They obviously don't have the resources for themselves. They need to see how the game will work in a natural environment. This is seriously where we are at as consumers? Where we should "feel lucky" for getting to pay to test an unfinished product?

Where we should "feel lucky" for getting to pay to test an unfinished product? Dude, seriously???? What do you do in your life, that makes this issue so important. You paid 20 bucks and got some stuff. When the game is released you will get all of those items. So, you didn't spend meaningless money. Also, as stated before, you chose to pay 20. Gaming is an enjoyment of technology. It's not a job. Should we get paid to wipe our asses with a new brand of toilet paper that we have never bought before? Come on man, quit trying to get something extra or free, just take pride in contributing to a potentially awesome game. And be proud of the fact that you had a part in helping with the devolpment of it. CCP made the game and spent the time and resources to create it, they don't owe any of us anything besides a great game. If you are unhappy with it, then don't play and leave the forums. If your wisdom is so much better.....go make your own damn game. I'm sick and tired of people like you.....quit trying to get something from everybody else and get it on your own.....or just enjoy yourself and play. Damn man.
