5 dollars? is that a joke or just hua?

it wasnt free if you could have bought it with the box for 12 dollars less including tax at your local discount game store.

it was not free if you bought slots you dont need and will never use.

with the 12 dollars saved getting it locally i could later get the BMP for your fiver and then a fast food and popcorn as well.

the idea is to promote the store not torpedo it for any future promotions.

no way

That is still better for ANet than buying it for 12 dollars less in the local store and not buy the BMP at all.

Look, even if Anet offers it in their store, it can't be done right away...

That's not fair to those that did "spend" $30 in the online store just to get the pack... (although the character slots I got are not going unused, I doubt I would have bought them if not for the promotion).

To those that were TRULY, 100% unable to get the mission pack, due to payment problems, etc...I am sorry. Hopefully in the future those kinda things won't be an issue.

To those that simply didn't try, or CHOSE to turn the offer down because they wanted a cardbord box instead...tough luck.

^my thoughts on it

first of all, sry for my english. so, here my truth:

1. i bought preorder from in-game store. no fraud, welcome!
2. i couldnt buy GW:EN from in-game store when it came out. u know why: fraud suspicion. attention: it was same credit card. i bought it from re-seller, lose my 5$ for preorder, but nvm now.
3. well, i want BMP, but i has spent only 5$ in in-game store. what do i do? i take my (SAME) credit card and i buy 2 extra chars slots and game of year. i dont want this slots and strange mixed weps, i just want BMP. and sure no fraud again!

as a result, i has spent about 50$ for GWEN (reseller price) and about 28$ for urs FREE BMP. good business, Anet!
