Well, being a total newbie, I think enthusiasts can be important for driving the development process. I was adviced to not buy a development kit because I don't actually develop - but why not? I would like to be a part of seeing the development of the Rift history itself.
Right.
Especially for indie folks, public beta testing is invaluable. In my mind, there are no reasonable developers who have a problem with unbridled dev kit ownership.
The people who complain are probably just those cliquey types who want to feel special. They should get over themselves.
