Hi all,
Due to some oversight, PC Gamer decided not to seal the magazines, which contain the new destroyer minipet code.
The question is this, what happens if someone gets a magazine, and someone else had already activated the key? Will ANet remove the key from the account that doesn't have proof of purchase? Or will they do absolutely nothing?
I (And a few guildies) wish to get the magazine, but if the code might already have been used, that rather deters us from purchasing the magazine.
Has anyone had this problem yet? If so, what action did support take, and who did you contact?
Thanks all,
~ReT~
What happens if someone gets an already used minipet key?

ANet won't do anything. Typically if you have a bad or used code, you contact the magazine and they replace it for you.

I hope they do what they did last time:
Put new codes in the next magazine! I got two grey giants

Underneath the code in the magazine it says "Bought this issue but your code isn't working? No problem! Email us at [email protected] and we'll get your sorted at." Probably would have to put the serial code and stuff.

What Knoll said. Stupid that they didn't think of this before.
Can't say I myself am worried, because 1. I already bought it and have it, and 2. I think only like three people play Guild Wars in Michigan, myself included. It's very unpopular here.

hmm. that's not so bad.
But shouldn't the people that are stealing the codes, be banned from the game? It'd not comforting to know I'm playing with thieves.

Yeah. They're really that dedicated.
And if you don't find it comforting to know you play with thieves, what has been keeping you alive for the duration of your life? There are thieves all around you. You probably associated with them and didn't even realize it. Did it hurt you? Well obviously not, you most likely aren't even aware.

Just pick one from the back of the magazine rack. I mean, do that anyway so that the x-people who came before and got their grubby hands all over the one in the front. But just pick one from the very back of the magazine rack.

In addition, they don't really care..

Speaking of Destroyers, did anyone get a destroyer of flesh instead of a destroyer of sinew? I got a destroyer of flesh

I thought the Destroyer of Flesh and the Destroyer of Sinew had the same model.

well actually i think the middle would be the safest... ppl who get the codes generally want to get the code entered the fastest without anyone getting it entered before them so they take the back ones, the front ones are for the kids who get the codes...hehe little noobs. Anyways i got mine in the middle cause i think its the safest.

I had this happen with the last PC Gamer minipet (Asura I believe). Emailed the address provided, and they did fix it ... eventually. Took a few emails and about 3 weeks of waiting though. Not the end of the world, but they could've done better.

"Grabbers of the magazines at the back of the magazine rack"
A better name maybe? xD
Anyways, if it worked for all these people when they just emailed the magazine place, it should work for you.
