and me point is to be as honest as is humanly possible. youre going to be lied to, cheated, stolen from, kicked, and mistreated. you dont have to be the one doing the lying, cheating, stealing, kicking, and mistreating.
the golden rule is: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. NOT: do unto others as they do unto you. OR: do unto others before they do unto you. OR as some people view it: do unto others over and over until they do unto you.
its one thing to defend yourself when youre being attacked, its completely different to attack because youre being lied to. and as you said, in a beta, the devs have the good of the game at heart, if a feature is bad, thats why youre there, to give the proper feedback and let them know. not to quit said game and go blabbing all over the internet how awful the game is and that people should avoid it. thats not constructive at all. in fact, thats actually the opposite. thats why the NDA is set up, to avoid that kind of childish, destructive behaviour. remember, youre not the only person in the entire beta, just because you dont like a certain aspect of game, doesnt mean that its completely broken and HAS to be changed. (exceptions obviously occur, lag experienced by all, bugs and the like) but just because you dont enjoy the crafting the way it is, that doesnt give you license to break the NDA to "warn" people about it. others may find it quite appealing. give your feedback, and if the majority of people agree with your assessment of the feature, the devs will, in most cases, change or delete it. hence the point of beta.
