Wait, what?
This is a focking beta(no discussion about being it always beta or not).
And if player finds bug, he should report it, and then DEV should fix it.
If it was GM nature bug, then he should get a warning or something (like to not drink before doing event). For finding a bug, only respect should be given, not some rewards, and cookie is a kind of "respect" reward (for me, and for you, should be, or you missed the point of beta).
From what I know, GM's job wasn't rewarding players for such things, BUT if They want to reward all players for finding bugs and such, it should be more viable way, like collecting "respect" points, and you can exchange them for something that isn't abusive in any way (exp points,addict antidote,car), then it would be ok.
Shame on you, players acting like angry german kids (no offense to Germany though).
