That's my only real gripe.
Not exactly the best of ideas. Although Dev's keep crying, "It's not finished yet!" as some kind of holy war cry to keep the "Your shit is bugged." people at bay, the earlier we bitch, the better off we are.

Imagine if instead of 99% of the community going, "Just wait...they're holding stuff back for release!!" had said, "Hey Blizzard, your shit is broke." I myself was guilty of this actually.

Don't get me wrong, there are some things not worth griping about. I think I found a dozen+ money exploits throughout the entire EQ2 beta. But that kinda shit you /bug and move on and then bitch about if they make it to live.

However, I think the player base has a right to know if a game just simply sucks. Periodic NDA leaks are a good thing, because it lets the player base respond to the direction a game is moving. It's not like beta testers are golden gods of knowing what the fuck makes a good game. I was one of probably only a few that kept saying, "Your tradeskill system fucking sucks" in EQ2 and now finally a year later they realize that it does, in fact, suck.
