Hopefully we won't experience the knee-jerk effect because of Issue 15 and devolve back to Issue 12 in terms of invites.

I think they need to go back to running smaller tighter closed betas. Issues 10, 11, and 12 were all great issues. It's when you get too many people in beta that nothing gets accomplished because important info is lost in the sea of chatter that fills the beta forums when you have an open beta sized crowd. A small focused group is the way to go. I think they know that.

If I recall correctly, Issue 10 and Issue 11 had more than most before or since, but Issue 12 was definitely the low point in Closed Beta invites.

I doubt they will have you bypass the password - having to re-enter it is a security feature.

Additionally the badge retractions that also were talked about before the issue went live and yet still were put in and then quickly retracted which pissed off a LOT of people.

I was talking about i15, you are talking i14.

And all considered, I have no real sympathy for those who broke the rules and where punished.

Now those who didn't and got smacked? Full sympathy there.

And, hilariously, things still snuck through to live like they usually do every issue.

So will the person who gave me negitive rep while calling me a moron for still not being used to a brand new feature speak up now?

You seemed to have forgotten how to sign your name...

Good luck with that one. I got negative rep earlier in the thread for giving someone positive rep to offset the bogus negative rep they had gotten.

At least you got a comment with yours.
