Games naturally change during their development and release. I do not think albion became some drastically different game. Albion has good elements to draw from. Albion didn't have enough to hold me, but I did follow its development.
Fractured will likely change over time as well. Holding devs to every single promise and desire during development is extremely detrimental to the game in general. I'm sure I'm guilty of trying to do so haha
Also, would the world end if you jotted notes down on a notebook? No minimizing, multi screen use or anything of the sorts 
The good thing about friendly fire would mean you can just kill them right back. I do not really see that as being an issue.
Not having friendly fire has always seemed artificial to me, makes no sense haha

Eh, I personally think efforts should be spent on other endeavors. Thinking otherwise just seems pretty selfish/I need to be special imho.
Looks like they are already thinking of other tiers though.
it cost an hour of time for 1 person to create a few ideas. then another 1/2 to 1 hour to decide if they're added in and where. then 2-5 hours to get some good concept art approved. i'd say at best 7-8 man hours for 5-20 rewards. now the art can be sub contracted (which happens regularly) so the loss is much lower than what i have provided.
and they can release tiers as they're finished or major content patches so they aren't all given at once.
And then you consider the hours and hours spent to implement the rewards. Even a simple cloak takes a long time to implement. Pets? Yikes.
And all of those hours are spent into some arbitrary exclusivity? What a waste of time.
