Well it was 5 years ago when they were looking for crowdfunding and wanted something to entice players. Exclusive things are the easy thing to promise and fomo draws people in.
Wait can’t I be qualified as a backer since I bought the DDE before the game was live?
that im unsure on the thread i linked and the bulk of the bug was more that at the time people who where paying the DDE months after game launch where getting backer status and basically nullifying people who backed at explorer level
I pre ordered the deluxe edition and i can only make the gold fist. I do wish i was able to make the iron fist as well its weird that some people that bought it after release got better perks even if its a bug. For the ones who preordered it should get something more to compensate. Just an idea
