With the number of people signing up for a OnePlus 2 invite quickly approaching the two million mark, many OnePlus fans are worried that it’ll be a while before they actually get their hands on the device. To make matters worse, a developer by the name of Jack Cooper found a way to essentially hack the invite system to boost his position in the signup queue and then released the method online.

OnePlus is a company which has developed quite contrasting degrees of attention. On the one hand, they have managed to excel in marketing and create a brand loyalty that any big manufacturer would be envious of. On the other hand, they have managed to market themselves so poorly that they seemed to have alienated a number of users before even trying one of their products. This marketing duality has come from what seems to be an almost endless number of campaigns, contests and general statements from OnePlus which has literally left the android community completely divided. That said, there seems to be nothing more unifying when it comes to OnePlus than the invite system. While OnePlus stand by the system and claim it is a success, it seems to be universally disliked by everyone who encounters it (and even those who have not). As such, when OnePlus once again announced that their newest device, the OnePlus 2 would employ the invite system, it left many hoping to get the device, rather unhappy.
