Clan challenges, as originally proposed, were ALWAYS intended to include the non-Premium members as well. If you are upset by this, perhaps you should have read the information provided by ELITE before you paid. This is essentially the same argument used when the Founder issue occurred a month or so ago. "Why do THESE people get Founder??" Blah blah. Who cares? If you're a Founder, then you're a Founder. Who cares if there are more of them? Because you paid first? Or, in this case, simply because you paid? Silly.

I have several members of my clan who predate ELITE, and they didn't see any need to pay $50 for ELITE. Honestly, it turns out that they did the smart thing... Not paying for a beta. With Clan Challenges, they are now able to contribute in more than just a "warm body" sense. They can actually help the clan gain XP. As much as I hate ELITE right now, this was always one thing they had the right idea for. (Although they sold the package for it six months too early.) And I'm a Founder who has no problem with smart people who didn't pay for this beta helping rank my clan up.
