Very good post indeed. I hope this opens the eyes of some of the people here on guru (and Anet) to release the Missions.

I'm cool with whatever Anet decides because they made the content and they have the right to distribute it as it best suits them.

It doesn't do me any good either way because I refuse to link my main account with PlayNC and the new weapons are customized so I could not transfer them from my secondary account even if I bought the BMP

But I will sign because

if they are going to put a lot more work into the "free" promotion than they did the crap GWEN skins, the least they can do is give everyone the chance to get it now that they know what ANet was wasting their time on instead of finishing GWEN properly.

/not signed you had your time to get it.

Turtle222 · Nov 30, 2007, 11:29 PM // 23:29

oh boohoo

you missed your chance, tough luck

congrats to those who bought it from store (specially extra slot buyers

)

fenix · Nov 30, 2007, 11:37 PM // 23:37

I spent 45 bucks at the store on char slots, BEFORE the BMP was even being made. So now I get nada. Lammmeeeeeeee

What's the point anyways?

The BMP will (if it does get sold) most likely be sold in the in-game store as well, so those who missed out because of the lack of a credit card will miss out again as well.

For those that chose not to buy GWEN online, it's their loss, as I chose to give up the box and items in exchange for buying GWEN online.

I believe they should have offered an outright buy of it in the first place. I already have all the games and a few extra slots. There was nothing to spend money on in order to get the pack that I didn't already have.

Everyone with just few milligrams of brain and common sense would have found better uses for this money, rather than wasting for something unknown in a videogame.

You make examples of real life, well in real life every normal person thinks twice before spending his hard earned money, even if the amount is small.

Take a breath of real life before giving lessons on a forum.

Loser.

So I'm being schooled by an expert...

...who then resorts to sniping remarks.

Clever. This "real life" you speak of must be a real hoot.

i would have bought the game online if i could, my parents are paranoid about internet security and won't buy anything online - what can i do?

If it was available in a store id pay $15 for it

to be qualified to have the BMP u basically need a credit card that —if you are too young (13ish) — you would buy GW stuff through stores not online... i just dont use NCstore, but seems like it could be part of expansion

Hollow Gein · Nov 30, 2007, 11:51 PM // 23:51

/signed......I bought G:WEN retail and all I got was this lousy 'reskinned' T-shirt.

Mystic Reaper · Nov 30, 2007, 11:54 PM // 23:54

/not signed for a few reasons.

as others have said...
if u didnt have the cash, its unfortunate, but thats life, it happens, more important things then a game.
if u had the means, and still chose to buy from a regular store just for the "box", well then, your a moron. plain and simple.
its a "bonus" for buying from their store. thats it, end of story. if u truely could not get it, im sorry for u, and if u chose not to use the online store and u could have, no sympathy here pal!!!
u dont see me complaining about not getting an ultra rare mini. a few did, most didnt. it happens.
and if u ask if i got it, yes, i did. and the only reason being is that i chose to buy GW:EN from the online store, rather then driving to the store.
and if they did make it available(which i doubt) to purchase at a later date through the online store(ONLY, IMO), it should be for $30 same as the requirments as the original promotion, making it fair to those that did spend the cash in the first place. and for those peolpe saying they should make it available to buy in regular stores for $10-$20...no way in hell thats gonna happen. they r in business to make money, and doing that would cause them to lose more then would be made.

and on a side note, by making the weapons customized, they made it so u couldnt make tons of cash off it in game selling to those that dont have the BMP. which was a good idea.
IMO, if they were going to make the weapons customized, i wish they would have made it acct wide instead of individual characters so we could share weapons with others chars and heros of other chars. that way we eliminate the "grind" of repeating it over and over and......yea, that. as i thought the original concept of the game was skills over (grind) time spent. o well.

Well, too freaking bad.

Doesn't affect me though if you get it or not.

Anet will do what Anet will do.

But you can make a lot of noise if you really want to...

/notsigned

It was very specific; buy 29 dollars worth of products from the ingame store to gain access to the BMP. It's a once-off promotion that was designed to cut down on ANet's shipping costs for EOTN.

No no no Your begin a dick for the sake of it. What I'm requesting is a simple method of getting the bonus mission material without costing Anet staff anymore money.

Put the simple thing on the GW store for however much and see if others want to buy it separately.

My loverly story; When GW:EN was released I physically couldn't buy it online... no problem anet can penalize me for whatever they want right as there making less profit from my buying in store upon it's release?

However later on this physical obstruction of what I could choose to do with my money changed (I switched banks because the other one was an asshat). So if I wanted to I could have brought material from the online store... Oddly enough I didn't... It's not me begin fussy. Fact of the matter, I had all the GW games, Why on earth would I want 2 copies of a game I already have not to mention I suspect there would be validation problems if I attempted to do so. (Unlocking + buying an unlocked + Brought campaign and all)

Had the bonus missions been open as a sand alone feature/upgrade for me to activate I would have brought it there online and gladly made up the profit deficit that Anet had lost selling game instore. But I cannot do that making them seem completely irrational and Obtuse on the point.

ANALOGY

You can buy a cake from a dispenser machine or you can buy it in an individuals shop. The dispenser however oddly dispenses Cakes with cherries on top.

Problem here is that I brought my cake from the Shop minus cherry. When asked why?
"It's not cost effective when considering the rent of this place" This answer given EVEN if I offer to pay more to make it up. Well fine fair enough.

Can't I just goto the dispenser and get it to deposit a cherry alone for a comparative fraction of the cost? NO the answer is amazingly. Yet I don't really want 2 Cakes (one with cherry one without) because I've got to look after my figure an all.

Normally what one would do is realize that the Bakery is duffing up on a good business by denying and flexibility in supply even if you cannot afford yourself to ship and I'd still go buy my own cherrys from the supermarket for 50p or whatever for my £1.20 cake.

course Anet can't loose business to malpractice unlike normal businesses because there the only supplier in the market. I trusted them and they seem to have betrayed it.

Ultimately in future I hope they don't sell in stores at all, Then they loose or at least struggle with business like me. I mean hey why not?

/not signed. It would never be fair to the people already have it. Like many have said, if you truly wanted it, you would have found a way to get it. If you couldn't make the money in the 3-4 month span it was offered, maybe you should worried more about something than a video game. The excuse about being a kid and not having a credit card is old. You can find a prepaid card at almost any major store.
