I just don't feel the need for some kind of recognition, or "pat on the head" for paying for early access to a game I am interested in playing. It's not even like we are beta testing, there is no communication or debugging between the players and the developers. We are just given early access to the game before it goes live. Not to mention, I could care less about some "special item" in the game to show everyone how I was special and in EA. I have had those in other games, and it is obnoxious. Now if it was some invite only, closed beta type situation, I mean I wouldn't turn a T shirt down or something lol.
