i think its better to consider it true until proved false, so no one shells out 15 bucks for one on ebay and find out it doesn't work...

what is the problem... its not like u actually are going to use the items on your actual character anyway they are far from perfect, ofc u can mod them a bit but u cant change the inscriptions on them to make them a little more useful

who wants 45hp while enchanted on a staff...
who wants -5 energy on a bow...
who wants +15% dmg on a sword while enchanted...

Exactly not a lot of people... the weapons will be manly used to provide weapons for the hero's

So stop making a fuss about some extra weapons u will not use anyway.

I don't have the date for the Factions pre release but the same theory applies.

Paragons, Dervishes, and Assassins are legitimate character classes there was no reason to deny them the bonus items for a pre release that includes all classes as core.
I bought a NF preorder long after it came out for $3 (good deal for a character slot so I figured why not), and I'm pretty sure that was sometime in March. Both the weps there work fine for me.

Speak for yourself.

I went through the complete factions campaign and half of nightfall with my assasin using Shreader's Talons, a worthless green with +15% vs hexed and +33% bleeding. Its mods suck but the weapon is just as deadly when in the right hands. :P

check Ebay....lots of them for sale there...even prophecies packs are available...though it seems to be limited to the preorder pack with the Censor's Icon. I got a factions preorder pack for my second account to complete my set of preorders (minus Prophecies preorders)...and a censor's icon prophecies preorder pack for each of my accounts (meh...probably not worth the $5 I paid for it...but oh well)....all three codes worked fine. I can't speak to the Nightfall preorder pack (I bought mine when they were released...before release of Nightfall) now but the prophecies and factions packs work fine.

yes unless you choose to buy it off ebay...you are out of luck...don't miss out on preorders and you won't have that problem in the future. It is not Anet's responsibility to outfit all of your characters and heroes with the weapons from the gw:en preorder.

OI. Think how much deadlier you would have been with a stronger instead of prettier weapon :P So I do agree with ayame on this one. I run around with my Darksteel bow, yes, but I switch up when I want to create some actual damage!

I dont get it...

Fiery Sunspear of Shelter?
Icy Soulbreaker of Enchanting?
Poison Dragon Fangs of Dagger Mastery?
Insightful Spiritbinder?

If you wanted pre-order bonus items for those professions you could have gotten them a long time ago.

Then you missed your chance. Doesn't change the fact that those professions have already had pre release bonus weapons.

True, but you don't hear me complaining about not getting the very original pre-order items or the ones from the GW2006 edition.

I want those too....
But alas, you need a creditcard for that, and I'm not buying the GotY edition in stores for 20 Euro...
