and in refusing to do so, you invalidated yourself for the promo/bonus

It was...if you purchased it($30) thru the in-game store.

I'll say exactly what I said in another thread. If it never goes up for resale then GG Anet. BMP was a BONUS. If they resold it then it it wouldn't be fair to those who did meet the requirments. so meh

I see no reason for it not to be made available eventually for purchase for those that couldn't fulfill the requirements.

/signed

Wildi · Nov 30, 2007, 06:35 PM // 18:35

/signed because there is no valid reason for not selling the BMP seperately

It's about access, and the money. Read slowly my comments again. It addresses both of those issues. You might want to consider your own comments.

Then again, you could keep making yourself look foolish.

So 12 year old makes the money then what? Posts it to anet? Or asks his/her parents to let them use a credit card they may not have. I could keep making myself look foolish but you could keep ignoring previous posts which have already said what you have said aswell as most of the recent posts that rant about this. I give up, some people are too thick to have any understanding.

No, it's the poeple who regularly scam, and make a living off other people's hard earned money's fault. He's very right not to want to buy anyting online. A little misguided, yes. But it's definately not his fault for being cautious, and careful with his money.

Some of us don't have super jobs that allow us to just toss our money every which way at stuff.

Witchblade · Nov 30, 2007, 06:36 PM // 18:36

is this the "yet another QQ thread" ?

oh well.. /unsigned, you had enough time, stuff cant be sold, blahblahblah

jammerpa · Nov 30, 2007, 06:39 PM // 18:39

While I do feel sorry for people in countries that dont have access to credit cards, I dont feel sorry for the whiners that shrugged off the BMP as an evil plan created by Anet to make money on their products. These people rolled the dice and took a chance that the BMP would be crap and are now regretting it because of the weapon rewards.

gone · Nov 30, 2007, 06:43 PM // 18:43

wanna know what I'd do? -and this is outta spite.

I'd make the BmP accessible to all the whiners for FREE. Here is the hitch. No weapon rewards. Just the gameplay, that is the reward. lulz then we'd see what this is really about.

I am still talking to marketing about this. There will not be a give-away — there is no way to justify that. But making the BMP available via other means may be possible. But those other means might still require a credit card, and for that, I’m sorry, but there are a lot of realities to deal with here, along with frustrating delays in getting more means to pay.
I do want you to know that I strongly believe the Bonus Mission Pack SHOULD be available via other means, especially since we closed the option to purchase the PvP Packs a few weeks ago, meaning that some folks were out of luck (as mentioned above).

YES PLEASE. Thats all I want, the weapons are irrelevant to me personnaly, a nice bonus for heroes maybe but I dont care about them as much as extra content.

Anet listen to Flubber because hes right for once.

What if....Anet gives the BMP for free to everyone else...

BUT....You only get 4 books total. No free 3 bonuses per book. No repeating for multiple characters. Just 4 items.

Call it being selfish if you will, but I think it's too late and it's your own fault if you don't have it but want it now (AFTER having seen everything it gives).
And yes I think this is just another QQ thread for the vast amount of ppl who love to complain.
Those who are saying they wanted to get it before but didn't have credit card in their countries etc etc... well I guess that sucks, but hey no one said life's fair, can't go blaming it on everyone else if you don't have a credit card, or the bonus missions for that matter.

Since the topic was covered plainly and completely when I responded to your quote you'll have to excuse my confusion at your comment. What exactly are you asking to be explained to you?

The only problem I can see you having, is in the context of "need", from my previous post.

I didn't want the extra slots. I didn't "need" them, in terms of new characters to play. The "need" was prequalification of spending $29.00 for eligibility. That could have been fullfilled by any online store purchase. So keep in mind there was a "need" for purchasing something. Not "need" for the particular item.

Now what choice are you confused about?

- I wanted the box for GW:EN
- I therefore didn't "need" to buy it from the online store
- I did however "need" to spend $29.00 on "something" to prequalify for the BMP

I guess the only choice that you might still be confused about was why character slots instead of skill unlocks, or whatever else they were offering was selected.

I guess that was the magical "second choice". I didn't want or need them, but looking to the future, I decided they were potentially more useful perhaps than skill unlocks might be.

I know you're just trying to be a smart***, but hey....It's a slow day at work.

No, just charge $34.99 for it.

Abnaxus · Nov 30, 2007, 07:09 PM // 19:09

I voted /signed before, then I read the comments in this and other threads, thought about the situation and changed my mind.

/notsigned

Too late.

I have bought 2 accounts with all expansions, and in their online stores I bought

- 2 extra char slots on each account
- 1 preview code on each account
- 3 unlock pack on each account

which means 2x36€, nearly 100$. Of course, I gave them this money outside the promotion months.

And I'll never be able to even take a look at this new content for a game I spent all this money. Even if I want to give them extra money.

Too bad I financed this company in such way so far.

That's the treatment that idiot customers like me deserve.

Lesson learnt.

At least I agree with your last statement. Lets find out how thick you are.

Get a temporary prepaid CC. If your parents won't do it, find somebody that will. If you can't, then your still up that crap creek without a paddle. Either way.

Consider slowly the point of the matter of BMP being offered (if you get your way) again. How are you going to get it if you can't meet the senario from before? I'm sorry, but it would take alot of "thick layers", not to understand this.

Point of fact, there are ways for a 12 year old to earn the money, and find a way to get the money to Anet. There is no excuse in using this as a reason for not getting it together for 4 months.

LOL Read the other threads, genius. People want the weapons. Period. The so-called content is secondary. Thank you for posting tho. Maybe with enough idiotic comments like yours this thing will finally get closed and buried.
