QQ harder. Its no ones fault but your own that you didn't buy EotN from the in-game store. Now, everyone shut the hell up about it, this isn't another "WAHH I DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR THE SIX-MONTH PROMOTION PERIOD!" thread, this is a thread to talk about the BMP itself.

agreed
personally i doubt none of us would be complaining if they were to realease the bonus pack on the online store, and hey we still have to spend more money then we should have had to, but lets face it people would buy it, and they would make more money
which is all anet wants anyways at this stage of the game.

Ok this is all well & good for the people who purchased from the online store & qualified to use the BMP on there accounts, but what about the people who havent? wheres that leave us...
I personly have heard nothing about this until today when browsing the forums, the weapon skins look great i have to say, alot better than EOTN weps inc destroyer weapons, ive heard the quest/mission gameplay is good also...
Only question i really have is, will this be availible to purchase from the online store at some point? seems pointless brining out all these awesome looking weapons that cannot be sold, are only usable & customized to the account holder, i for one would really like to see this as a permanent feature for all players...

Perhaps an example will help you a bit.
Store A and store B are both selling item X. Store A is selling item X for $5 and store B is selling the same item X for $5 also, but store B has decided that it will include item Z with the purchase of item X.
Now you, the consumer, decide to go shopping for item X. You must choose between store A and store B. If you chose to go with store A you will received item X and that is it. Had you wished to have item Z you should have chosen to purchase item X through store B.

I personally think it's a *great* way to reward the "loyal" players who didn't try to save a measly 5 bux by buying through Amazon. I, however, am half torn between seeing all you whiners have to fork over $30 for what I got for free.

I can understand it if your not legal age to open a checking account (to use a debt card). But if you're an legal adult without checking account then you have no excuse for whining about not being able to purchase the BMP.
As for minors who play GW, I have to ask, who bought GWs for you? Why can't you ask a known adult to use their card, provided that you give them the cash for it.

wow...
BMP KICKS ASS! thank you, anet! moar stuff like this in GW2 please
the ending of the turai ossa mission is EPIC. love it! great job on the new weapon skins too!
my only gripe is that more people can't have it. i know several people who prefer to buy their games in retail stores so they have the cd and packaging, and it sucks to see them miss out just because they wouldn't give that up for a virtual purchase.

It's funny, because all the qq-ers will probably get the Mission PAck in the stores, at about $30 or so. Then all that "saving money" thing that kept them from getting it in the first place will bite them in the ass.
Does anyone have the Tengu bows? Undead Recurve is awesome. I don't think much of the Charr ones, too undead-ish for the way I see my chars, but Olias, Livia and MoW will be getting undead stuff. xD
So.. bow pics anyone? Tengu, that is. And Mursaat

Yeah I bought my copy from the store because I'm old-school and I like the box. Oh well, I'm not complaining. Just seeing Turai pwn Palawa made my day

good example and all, but the prices weren't the same
but i will admit i did not read up enough on it, i thought that you could buy this pack after OR get this deal by spending 30$ at the online store, which in turn would save you money, not cost more money
also say someone takes a 2 month break, and misses all this excitement about the pack, they go out and buy gwen to get caught up, but there is no chance for them to have any crack at the BMP.
i see your logics, it just dont seem it a fair thing for anet to do.
also anyone that doesnt have a credit card cannot get it that also seems very unfair. though i thought i read something about using a debit card?
is this true, i was under the impression that you could only use a credit card?

i disagree, most people who bought the game from the retail stores just wanted a hard copy of the game. not to save 5 dollars

It's not fair.
Tell me to "QQ more", like a nerd from the WoW forums, but it really is not fair and I hope ANET knows how a lot of us feel about this.
[edit]
and the prices were not just a little bit cheaper elsewhere.. were talking 25%. Difference of £7 from Amazon UK and ANET's store, that's $14.

A debit card works just fine. It's what I use in the in-game store.

Let me further put this into reference: ANET is having a holiday promotion where you buy one campaign, you get a second one half off. Do you expect that you can go buy EoTN at BestBuy and still get another campaign half-off online?
Pretty sure these have been shown already, but here's a Tengu Recurve as promsied

Why didn't they just have a collectors ed. of GWEN?
This sucks for those on dial up/No Credit/Debit Card, and would be far easier to just pay $30 more in a retail store for all the benfits, hell I would have paid an extra $50 to get the BMP with my copy of GWEN, I pre-ordered before the BMP was annouced.
Sometimes it's not as easy as 'Logging into store B and gettting that free X'
Flame away I guess.
