I hate the attitude of the select group of people on this forum who say "well I have my BMP, and that's all that matters, so two fingers to everyone else", as it's just so childish.

The question is, in what corner does the BMP stand: Collector's edition or GOTY edition? No one knows for sure.
I am not talking about CE or GOTY editions. I am talking about the pre orders. Where for phroph u get the glowing hands with emots and that prism item and for factions the daggers and rit staff. You cant buy them in the online store cos they were released to promote these games and the people who bought them got rewarded with these items and bonuses. The BMP was a promotion to boost the sales in the online store. and the people who took advantage of it got rewarded. It is not an expansion its a promotion just like the pre orders and asian mini pets.

Ahh it feels so good to have access to the BMP, for all those who could not get it, TOO DAMM BAD, LOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop your complaining, if you did not have access then how would you buy it if they offered it on the online store now, but then you would complain that it should be in box form.

It was a promotion, 29US or 17EU to spend on anything in the online store, so stop your complaining, 4 months it was up at the log in screen, you did not want it then, but suddently you want it now, tell you what, look in a mirror and say over and over again, "I am a loser"

It was only posted every day for about 3-5 months on the login screen. If you can't take 3 seconds to read "BONUS MISSION PACK PROMOTION" then forgive me if I lack the sympathy.

However, I do believe they should offer it in the store for those who want to purchase it. I already have it so it doesn't matter to me. Its not like it will hurt any of the players who got it through the promotion. All the items from the missions are customized and even the books are customized, so no advantage there. Just a few QQ'ers that will complain about having paid for EotN online and therefor don't have a "box" (cry me a river).

EDIT: Mursaat weapons are the BOMB WOOT WOOT! :P couldn't resist.

Let's be honest here, 98% of the people wouldn't give a shit about the BMP if there were no new skins or unique rewards of some sort.

Couldn't agree more. And even before the BMP, this is the attitude of the majority of the GW playerbase. Quite sad really.

I'm in that 2%. I want to play it for reasons other than some new sexy skins. And for that reason people who own the BMP, can't think of a valid reason to not give me that opportunity.

its idiots like you who annoy me on this game, alot of people may have had finiacial problems over the last few months or for other reasons could not qualify for the pack, the only people who i have a problem with is those that said from the start they did not want the pack and therefor did not get it only to have a moan when they found out what the pack consists of.

i pre-ordered gwen the day i could, paid in full, so i have no other options to obtain some more GW content. except to buy 3 character slots - which i dont need/want.
i have two accounts. 6 total purchases. fully unlocked. so because i am a loyal customer, way too loyal [gw is only online game i play], and wanted to support the game....i get NO access to some new content because of where i bought the game.

BOOOOOOO on anet/ncsoft [same thing in this discussion]

i wonder...
-do people think anet is screwing over the customers that bought from real stores?
-do people think anet is screwing over the real stores that purchase enourmous amounts of copies?
-do you think anyone will ever buy from one of these retail stores again?
-what does that do to the reputation between anet and these stores?

wrong.

this is NCsoft size moneybags not Anet size.

NCsoft owns Anet and the amount of additional on selling it as a cheap online item is less than chump change to NCsoft.

I, for one, love the irony that the thread asking for seperate sell is bigger than the thread on the BMP itself.

I admit, I am somewhat jealous of the skins. If I still played Guild Wars, I'd be pissed that I didn't have access to the BMP.

They got an error for 4 months? Wow, that's unfortunate. I could be wrong, but I don't believe ANET has added any new ways to pay for things in their online store, so if they couldn't purchase anything during the promotion, how are they going to purchase things now?

Because you are not accepting your decision to save money? You saved $30, great. I spent my hard earned money on EotN at the correct time because I new it would coincide with the BMP, why not?

There is no "trust" they broke. You just want to satiated, there's a huge difference. One is an obligation to a promise or a pact, the other is pandering to what someone wants. They never promised to make this thing available to everyone. They made a reasonable choice as to where and how they could distribute it.

You're joking right? This is your reason? It has nothing to do with cultural significance. Company's do what is good for them. That includes if they can make money and if they can deliver. Guild Wars is not this fantasy "global product" you've created (yes I'm sure all the Japanese are going to know what the TPS Golem & Drakes on a Plane is about. Katamari Damaci was the epitome of obscure Japanese games, guess they can't sell it here.. oh wait, maybe it has to do with business instead) ANET sell it where they can, when they can, within their means. Gaile gives reasons why things happen the way they did.

It is, but there are those that are not QQ'ing for that reason. I didn't not buy the BMP because i thought it might be crap. But apparently it's completely fair to deny those people the right to enjoy something new as a loyal GW player.

I can think of one.

Did you spend the required amount, within the time limit, set by anet?

not meeting said criteria is a damn good reason. your opportunity window closed on oct.31st.

You miss the point, as it's the concept of the matter at hand, and the fact that you are forced (yes forced) to use the online shop. I don't want the BMP for the weapons as I have nice skins for my characters. I want it to inject some life into the game.

It doesnt matter what we would have or wouldnt have gotten. Like i am said before you are all treating this as some kind of expansion like Gwen or even SF. It was a promotion what part of promotion dont you get. Now this promotion is over.

you're saying i'm wrong for saying they'll get more money from selling it on the store. you explain why i'm wrong by saying the amount of money they gain won't be much for NCSoft standards (which i personally don't know, since i don't know the scale of people who would buy it/the price they'd put it at, and frankly i'm surprised you fell you do).

I said they'd get more money from it, thats also what you said.

I'm confused.

No. And there are plenty of valid reasons why not, as provided by many others in this thread. However you're too dam ignorant to accept that because all you care about is some silly new skins. It's a shame we actually have valid reasons to purchase the BMP seperately for the same price you spent in the online store to get it, whereas you have no good, un-selfish reasons to deny us that chance.

What is runescape, never heard of it. By the way I am not so immature kid, the people who are immature all the people who are complaining about not being able to gain access to the BMP, and feel it should be reoffered for sale so they can buy it.

To them I say too bad, it was up for 4 long months and then they had reminders two weeks before it expired, grow up and learn to live with your chioce.

It is fun though to call people losers and see them get pissed, I enjoy getting a rise out of people.

But anyway I am tried of these threads, this is like the sixth one, enough already, Anet said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like I said, I'm not particularly bothered about missing out on it.
I just see no reason it shouldn't be made more widely available. The fact people like you continue to call others "jealous" of not having it, only proves my point.

To those still complaining, if you don't think the promotion was fair, after given several months to obtain the damn thing, and just because you want some awesome skins that I currently have and you don't, well that's a shame on you. We're the unique players. If everyone had the skins, it wouldn't be cool anymore. So, to the thousands that did get the pack, let's go play! To those without it, well...too bad.

LET PEOPLE BUY THE BONUS PACK for $10! However, they get no special skinned weapons. Let's see how people fly with that.

The amount of sheer ignorant, immature and completely clueless people on this forum amazes me. The age demographic surely can't be any higher than around 16 on average, for 70% of people on this forum.

The elitism by some people here really bothers me (and I have the Bonus Pack!)

It's sad that the main pleasure people seem to get is that they have something not everyone else does...

Reminder: it is possible for this to be released later. If that happens, don't be surprised to get your face rubbed in it.

There are other circumstances that can stop people getting the BMP! Like mine, I couldn't use my credit card at the time because I was, and still am, in the middle of sorting out a major problem. Some complete **** in Brazil has cloned my card and racked up just shy of £18,000 credit!

So, even though I'd have been perfectly happy to shell out on say three new character slots to qualify for the BMP I couldn't! I'd be more than happy to spend the money at a later date, when all this crap with my credit card is sorted out, to get the BMP, but I can't do that either as the time frame to qualify for it has passed.

You're trying way too hard to make the people who don't see anything wrong with this seem like spoiled brats, when fact of the matter is the ones being childish here are the ones who are complaining because they didn't get it.

For whatever reason it may be they believe themselves entitled to something that they didn't earn. But just because you wanted to but couldn't, or came in too late to participate doesn't entitle you to it any more than those who are having second thoughts about not purchasing stuff to get it.

We don't always get what we want. Accepting this fact and moving on with your life is more mature than throwing a fit everytime you miss out on something that you want.
