I am truly impressed with these missions - wonderful addition!! The weapon skins are AWESOME, then missions are fun with the new skill bars,the music is really cool and settings are very very nice.

Thank you, for a very well done addition to my game. I am an extremely happy puppy!!

Off topic: would the ppl go and make another thread somewhere else about the inability to get the BMP. I for one would seriously not mind at all if Anet released the BMP for purchase in the online store - just to keep these "debates" about "loyalty" and "accessibility" out of the forums.

Point is, that'd still be over $40 Profit to Anet/NC.
Because not having an alternative way to buy kinda sucks when you can't get your hands on a credit card.

The problem here is, that people get rewarded for buying from their online store. Only those people. However everyone of us that plays GW had to pay for the games wether they bought it from their store or a game store ect the money still is a profit for ANet. There are tons of people that dont have credit cards and cannot order online, yet they go to the game store with cash and get the game. So why should not everyone that spends the same amounts of money basically, not be rewarded. You can always take the same product no matter what it is and find it at different prices. People choose to buy things where its most suits them but the bottom line is they bought it and spent money on it all the same.

Mursaat Scythe

In addition to hot skins I have a chance to get rid of all those weapon upgrades I have sitting in my bank now.

I wonder if the freebie used as incentive to get people to use the online store had of been totally unrelated to the game, like a free toaster or oven mitt, would have made people upset.

Someone made a post about this and they where told to post on this thread.

but it come down to money thats more inscentive for you to buy it right from them with no middle man, they make an extra cut off it. you are hypocrital for even saying why would they do this. if you owned anet or even stock in a net than you would want every buck that comes your way. it called running a business. get over it and let it go. they offered and you didnt take live with it this thread should be closed

How else do you suggest they promote the in-game store, which ends up netting them more money than selling it in a retail store? Really, I'd love to hear successful ways to promote the in-game store that don't involve giving things away.

Debit cards work too.

Mursaat and Tengu weapon skins seem far superior to the other two, purely as far as skin goes, in my opinion. On completion of Gwen's Story, Goren won himself a Charr Sword.

I'll maybe take some screenshots later when I have a few to post.

Some people use "Credit Card" as a Catch-All for Credit and Debit cards imo.

most of this was debated when BMP was announced in July
http://www.guildwars.com/products/ex...ionpackfaq.php

people had 4 months to use GW Store for extra char slots or GWEN. etc

It already did change.

I wouldn't be surprised to see BMP sitting in online store in near future - more money for ANet + I don't think makers of this BMP wouldn't mind having even more people playing through their piece of art. Heck, even getting it for free later on wouldn't surprise me, the promotion time is over anyways.

Just my 2 cents.

I don't think it would. Simply because you can get that toaster or whatever by other means if you really want one.

that's major difference between what anet pulled and other promotions. Gotta feel sorry for people who dont have access for it. So far, it was sooo much better than, i.e. Gwen.

ANET cares that your not buying GW2, really they do. Here, have a QQ Cookie, better then even Chocolate Chip.

Yes you can, but it seems everything is customized, including offhand items.

This part was a bit vague, but I will quote the wiki.

So in other words, you can get one of each weapon type for each of your characters, and then you can get one of each type again for your account as a whole, so you have to choose which character to give the extra tries to. Example, a Warrior would need an axe/sword and a shield, or perhaps a strength shield and tactics shield. Or a ranger needing both a recurve bow and a longbow, etc.
