I guess it all comes down to perspective. I have some of the things people who have played longer than others might have. Mini-pets, special dances, special hand animations. Should they sell these things in the online store, I would still continue to have 'em.

I would have the option to think "This is an outrage, I've played longer and paid more than those n00bs, how can A-Net put them on the same level as me" and I could also think "Cool, now they can enjoy the glowing hands as well".

i dont have proph CE - because i started playing too late.
and the BMP weapons are also an added bonus - potentially if you got the bonus AFTER limitations,you dont get it.

leave the weapons for the people who qualified.
we didnt get the casing and some people like to have a complete guildwars collection of stuff.

if they let the weapons on people who didnt qualify - it would also make a QQ thread again.

no.
am i QQing over it?
seemingly because you're bringing up the argument against it

It is a weapons pack - the best weapons pack ever!

Actually, I've been wondering why there isn't another "they killed the economy" thread. They may not be tradeable, but I don't see many of us BMP owners *buying* weapons anymore.

the weapons are the motivation.

also, you missed your chance, youll be over it in a week.

That is, unfortunately, the way (GW) univers rolls. But there has to be room for discussion over certain topics, because every differing comment can't be labeled simply as "QQ'in" (gawd, I hate that term).

This has never been a really big issue for me. I already have so much stuff I don't know where to stuff it.

This is a fun discussion, and I haven't spent this much time on GWG forums in a long time. I'm actually anxious to see what happens next.

Silly Warrior · Dec 01, 2007, 09:50 PM // 21:50

It does make sense, Anet gains nothing and loses nothing from simply allowing everyone to play in the bonus missions.

Then again, the BMP was intended as a BONUS for those who bought 30$ worth of products from their online store. So I feel as a customer, I deserve the BMP, and not those who haven't bought anything from the company in years.

With that said, I don't have an opinion on this, whatever Anet feels is right for their company they should do.

Technically, they demotivate people from participating in further similar promotions (why preodrer or take part in promotion when qq will help out). Which would cut down their profits (since they not only sell stuff in online store for much more than stone shops, they don't have to share profit with retilers.)

Still, something similar happened with material storage.

Making BMP free, but without weapons for late commer is agreeable to most of people. People wanting to eperience those stories should get their chance, people wating just weapons get no sympathy. Missions are unique, but game has tons of weapons already.

Weapons remain exclusive to those who qualified for the promo. Just like with Pre-order weapons, which are also promos.

Lyra _song, instead of wasting your time opening threads withs the sole purpose to provoke people, why don't you follow my suggestion?

Is the BMP so short you have already completed everything? Sry for you.

In case you haven't finished it yet

GO HOME
PLAY THE GAME
ENJOY

I don't care about the rewards.

ONLY the final cutscene between Joko and Ossa makes the whole pack worth it.

They advertised it.
They say what it would include.
They set a really wide period to get it.
There are pre-paid credits cards for those that do not have one or are not over 18yo in all countries where GW is available in stores.

Allowing further acquisition of the Bonus pack would be like allowing to acquire again preorder or collector stuff.

Yeah but those who bought GW:EN online dont get the casing for it.
We took BMP>casing you took casing>BMP
there are only extremely few valid reasons why you DIDNT get it.
but i /agree - as long as there isnt any weapons and this costs about 5$

Gaia_Hunter · Dec 01, 2007, 11:22 PM // 23:22

I have the bmp.
I wouldnt mind to get all of the bonus weapons or dances for a fee, like the millions edition weapons.
I dont mind they sell or make the bmp offering again.

Bowstring Badass · Dec 01, 2007, 11:26 PM // 23:26

Along with the QQ threads I will go with my usual /notsigned...

Biostem · Dec 01, 2007, 11:31 PM // 23:31

The whole purpose of the BMP is to encourage people to buy from the online store. If you don't buy from the online store, then you don't get the BMP.

Why does it have to be any more complicated than that? No one ever promised it for doing anything else - if you didn't take part in the promotion, then you missed out. Life goes on...

/not signed. This is an all or nothing issue.

Now that I know what the BMP missions are all about I'm happy I didn't pay for it. Yes, I'd like some Mursaat and Undead weapons but there's no other attraction to the bonus missions. If I didn't own NF or EoTN then it would great because the weapons are inscribable. But by making the weapons customized automatically it dropped any value they have to zero and virtually killed the replay value of the BMP.

I'll stick with my free additional content. I still haven't done SF, Urgoz's Warren, The Deep, or DoA and in the end I find that content to be better than the BMP. While I play GW for fun, I do have a bottomline and the BMP doesn't contribute to that at all.

LoL I'll sign yes just because I want to read all the threads about how the people that paid for BmP(via in-store purchases) got ripped off.
