You didn't waste your time playing the game...you used it to build a opinion on what can enhance the game, what wasn't working...finding glitches etc... You used this experience in hopes of creating feed back. So please, give bungie some feed back . This thread you've created has absolutely NO feed back in it. If you think you wasted your time cause you don't keep your items, I'd say it's fair if bungie felt they wasted their time letting you test the beta. Let the devs make the decision. There's way to many threads like this. I'll say this again...I've repeated myself many times on here.. The testers on bungies end had their characters and items wiped on a monthly basis. Those characters helped shape the new build. Bigger badder and better. Months and months of saying goodbye to their guardians and experience. Deej wrote it in his weekly updates more than once. So don't feel bad about getting a character wipe once for a few days of play.....I didn't get upset that I couldn't keep my alpha gear..nor the beta. New Better final build comes September 9th. Buck up guardian. It ain't that bad.
