I don't understand the idea that they are entitled to anything other than early access to a game we are all dying to play for their efforts. I know I would've done just as much if I had gotten into beta as far as bug reporting and suggestions go.
As I said, I don't see it as an entitlement. More like a token of appreciation. This things don't usually come to mind in the beginning of development, more like "in the moment" ideas. They (Blizzard) want to show the closed beta testers they appreciated the efforts exerted. To me it isn't a reward.
With regards to them being lucky... That's it exactly, they were chosen and they were lucky for it. Sure some just lounged it off and actually don't deserve s#!% of any recognition at all. What I'm saying is we're withholding rewarding those that actually worked simply because there are those that didn't work. And that to me isn't fair.
An if i'm not mistaken, the FoS won't show in your achievement menu. Maybe you will just remember that you're missing one even if there isn't an icon there that is gray but that's up to you. Actually even I'm a bit down I won't get it... But I know people that would just loved to get it cause they actually worked on it. And those people are my friends!
To quote Mass Effect 2, "There is too much sadness in this world to add my own..." Some people deserve it and I don't like to withhold it simply because those that don't deserve it will get it too.
