Makes me belive that they see Factions is weak in content and they will use features as content to push a product.
Knowing this, and seeing they didn't give two flips about the out cry, I see them doing the same for future chapters. Character slots only purchasable when chapter X is bought; stylist only available when chapter X is purchased... and so on.
I wonder when they are going to figure out that of 2 million sold it would seem that people have more then one account. Factions comes out those people that purchased 2- or more(I know someone with 12 accounts) only got one copy of factions. You have the sale/marketing personal trying to explain why sales are not as good as the original. You have some marketing guy that had a brain storm. Lets renig on our previous statments(two out of 3 of the founders and Alex) to increase sales. They did do a bait and switch on us on what now is defined as features, it was advertised in interviews and by PR personal about the storage being included across the board.

With slots i could see them selling them before next weeks beta idealy

I hope so! I have used all six slots on my account and don't want to part with any of my characters. Plus, I don't want to have to make a new account for this event.

my my yourself have you considered that different points of view may not be a lie but a misunderstanding?

also we all have storage. this tab is extra storage (content) like buy Factions get an extra bag. (probably put in an event tab for Nightfall)

also do you dispute that a summer release of slots way before release of Nightfall shoots down the make them buy slots for Nightfall?

also they have always provided slots with the game not buy the full priced game and add 20 dollars for the new professions.

that will be the next grand conspiracy theory

Here I sit waiting for a new slot
Thinking of characters I will create and what-not

A-Net is quickly making me mad
But if I had more slots soon I'd be glad

Hopefully we'll get them before Sept. 29
And I'll be playing GuildWars wasting much of my precious time

Did they give you extra slots for the Factions preview events?

Why would they give you slots for this one?

If they manage to release extra slots for sale in time for next weekend I will be amazed.
