This is just a random thought
But I been here sence replication and i now our "lovley" but acceptable community will be defiled by newcomers thinking they know more about the game then we do
So would anyone else want a little indication saying we were a closed beta member so we can wear our pride of the closed beta community?
Perhaps just some little writing on the avatar

It would create a division for the community, just imagine how the beta vets would treat the newcomers. |

I think the Exile Assault Rifle and the Skinweave Dropsuits were our reward for participating in the closed beta activities. I don't think they are available in the market for purchase. So, if you use those items, people will know you were a closed beta tester. |

The exile assault rifle and the skin-weaves are fairly good indicators, not to mention that we are all on the forums, and we also have a 'born on' date in our biography (all of us were before open beta)

Exactly, what difference does it make who was here first or not? How will that help you win the game? It is just notoriety and it is still meaningless. |

It would be nice to be given an insignia above your name in game.
But we also have the exile rifle, the skinweave suits, the quafe suits, even in the forums you can tell a vet from a noob because we have good spidey sense.
To those who can't understand why we want a visible indication of our long term closed beta participation, it's because we have earned that, it also allows people who want help with dust to be able to ask someone who knows what they're talking about.
It also proves to others that we been here a long time and that we plan to stick around for the long haul. |

That happens in every game anyway. There are always self-important people calling down others, and it goes both ways.
Technically, we have Skinweave suits and such, but I don't know if that is/will-be limited. I would actually like to see some sort of implementation of this as a feature myself. Either a special set of Beta Gear that is unlimited, (best), and identifies you in some fashiopn as a Beta player, or ..nah, that really is the only best option aside from a forum tag, which could also accompany it.
I'm thinking red and white, (maybe just for Caldari Assault), and an option of which set you want from Logi, Assault, Scout, and Heavy. Only four variations, because--really--that is all we had access to in Beta and it tends to be more meaningful that way. Granted...hmm..(Thinking Mordus)..we could have access to modules and such that we've not seen yet, that are appropriate to complement it.
I'm still running on the assumption that we'll see one of each type of dropsuit for each faction before release.
Obviously, I don't think that these limited BPOs for gear should be any better than perhaps the first level after militia gear, and maybe only available to closed beta testers. Mordus Private trials might have this, and those following, maybe something different.
Just a thought/idea really.
edit: *Don't think of it as elitism, but rather as recognition. I got into the Mordus Private trials in very early beta and have playtested off and on since then, even though a lot less than some others. That counts for something, and particularly so for those who really put time into it, even if it was greatly for their own enjoyment.
This sort of thing is necessary, and someone has to do it. It is a privilege in some ways, but it can also be very frustrating at times, and there is an expectation of feedback to some degree. Without that, the game is developed with limited testing and released potentially unfinished and full of flaws. |

..also, continuing my other post, a forum avatar to complement whatever dropsuit is chosen might be cool. |

So, a lot of us want some sort of recognition for our time spent as closed-beta testers, huh? OK. Here's my proposal: A little "lab rat" symbol on our profiles. Because, after all, that's what we are, yes? Lab rats! |

Interesting. I never received the closed beta goodies and I've been here a while now. Did they have to be purchased or were they a special offer? I'll have to petition it. |

I think we should get three suit decals.
One for swarm launchers.
One for RE's.
One for Thukkers.
And maybe one with a giant pile of tanks for dress occasions. =) |

The sad thing is that the new guys are probably going to be better at playing the game than most of beta testers. Most of the testers are really bad.
It's not going to be a badge of pride, it will be a badge of shame. |
