You are wrong, on several levels. It has nothing to do with if I or you or anyone else THINKS it is ok or not ok, because that is your opinion. The fact is that it is allowed. Bringing morals or ethics into this to say that it hurts your odds or anyone else's odds makes YOU just as GREEDY as you seem to be accusing me or Major Tom of being. If you want to throw the Greed flag or any other ethical flag about making free accounts, please look that you are in a glass house as you do it.
Please do not drag me down with your hate. I won't stand for it.
No, but by doing so you're actually making the beta process less efficient. When devs send out invites, they want as many different players as possible in the beta, poking the buttons, kicking the tires (not the server, that's Paul's job) and so on. Anyone who ends up double-dipping is in effect weakening the process.
So yes, if you ended up making all of your accounts beta-selectable...you're making it harder on everyone, from the devs on down to the users.
