Well I have the bonus mission pack and don't mind more people being allowed to get it.
I doesn't matter to me at all if every gw player in the world is allowed to buy it.

Anet said they were considering other methods of aquiring the mission pack when I asked them some months ago anyway.
BMP sell seperate petition.

Oh, and by the way, me defending Anet is something you dont see much of these days, but in this case they actually havnt done anything wrong. It was well documented how to get The BMP unless you live in a black hole or cant read. You had enough time to buy a few character slots to get free missions. They havnt actually done anything wrong at all.

Phantom if you read some peoples posts, they are angry at Anet for not allowing them to buy the BMP. But in The first place they were complaining about having to pay for it using the online store.

I had my choice to spend (or not) my money in the on-line store but chose instead to buy the boxed EOTN version...I certainly didn't need skills unlocks nor 3 more mules; so, it was MY choice to spend (or not, in this case) the qualifying amount of money during the time frame stated to get the BMP...and how many times was it posted here and on the GW site what it took to get this promo??? We all had plenty enough time to decide. I didn't get the BMP and don't really have any regrets of not getting it.
We all have choices...live with the ones you've made!

No no, read her complaint post a few posts down. She complains about not having enough money to have bought the BMP, but now wants to pay $40 for it.

Oh man I don't care about the BMP because I bought my EoTN online, but APPARENTLY I'm just now finding out that the PHYSICAL game comes w/ a box and manuals!!! So, I'm petitioning to Anet to send me a box free because I didn't know and it's not fair.
See what I did there?

Oh yea, I paid for Gwen in the online store too. I sign the petition for my box please. I'll pay $40 for it please.

Just like how Pre-order sets were limited. Thirdly: They have given plenty of WARNING ahead of time that once its over, its OVER. Its like those free gifts or doorbuster bonuses on Black Friday sales. You get cool nifty stuff if you get there early and once its all gone, its GONE. --------------------- HOWEVER...im not a cruel heartless bitch as some people might like to think. I think a good idea for Anet would be something along the lines of making another special online store deal to get the BMP as a bonus once again. Maybe a large scale contest? Monthly Xunlai thing? I DO NOT CONDONE SELLING IT. I got mine for free. You shouldn't have to pay, thats not fair. I DO CONDONE MORE WAYS TO GET IT. |
The BMP was being given away free as part of a promotion. You buy something, you get an additional gift. That does not mean that the BMP cost nothing for ANet to make, nor should it prevent them from making more profit from it in the future.
Also, it was the promotion that was for a limited time only, not the BMP, so comparing it to the Collector's Editions of the past games is not accurate.
Your idea of a new promotion to get the BMP is a great idea though. It would be simpler for them to just sell it (remember, a lot of people were upset because they didn't see anything in the online store they wanted to buy and a similar promotion would be just as objectionable to them), but you are right in saying there is more than one way to make the BMP available to others.

Getting four missions with customised mursaat hammers is UNDERATED! It should cost $250 not $40. And it should cost that much because I am poor.

In 4 to 6 months time, BMP would lose its novelty and no one would really care.
At this point in time, people like me who got the BMP would like to enjoy the elitist sensation of "I have and you don't. Heh."
I have the feeling, reading the wordings of the promotion, Anet will offer it somehow. The phrase "currently have no plans" is back door that may provide a way to do so.
I think Anet will time it well when the novelty and elitist sensation has fade away, and people are numbed again with boredom, or hyped with coming of GW2. Then anet may offer it without much ballyhoo from both sides - if anyone would still care.
/not signed - not within a few months from now.
/signed - a month or two before GW2 is released

My choice was between the box and the BMP. If Anet want to send all the BMP's a nice box for free with the proceeds they would make out of selling the BMP on the market then I could be persuaded to change my mind.
For most it was a concious choice. I feel sympathy for those who weren't able to make a choice because of no credit card etc, but you can't please everyone all the time.

Heh.. not everyone who didn't buy it during the promotion did so on the premise that it'd suck.
I didn't buy it because I have not, do not, and will not ever have a credit card.
I pay with cash first, Interac second (which you can do ONLINE OMG IT'S NOT A CREDIT CARD AND IT WORKS ONLINE!!!)
My money is hard earned and it's mine, damnit. I'm not paying some 3rd party interest rate out the ass just to buy something for $30 bloody bucks.
And no, to address another reoccuring whine in this thread, not everyone who doesn't have a credit card is underage and/or poor. I spent enough money today to put a kid through college. On Interac. If I can go out and buy a new home theatre system on a whim I'm pretty sure I can afford to spend money on GW's online store.
The thing is.. they just don't want my business. If they did, they'd have more payment options.

/signed - there is literally no good reason why this shouldnt be in the store. Especially for the person who just got started playing GW - why should they have to suffer because they didnt know about the offer.

I'd have been more than happy to spend the required amount to qualify seen as how I've already spent well over £70 in the online store, I just couldn't spend it in the required time frame due to the above problem. Although I do think that the very idea of forcing someone to spend a set amount of money in the on-line store to get a bonus pack is a shitty way to treat loyal fans!

One good reason why it shouldn't be in a retail store...Manual code key input.
Hundreds, if not thousands of people will by 'extras' for their own private sales, via ebay..amazon..etc..etc..not to mention the scammers that will:

I'm going with a no since people knew how to get the BMP. I feel that most everyone who didn't make an effort to make sure they got the BMP thought "Well they'll make it available to everyone in a few months, they only did this just so they can get better sales results on GW:EN and i'll just pick it up when they release it to everyone for xx.xx dollars".
That was the point of the promotion....
If you didn't get it then, than don't cry about not having it now.....

Well seeing all the QQ threads on this forum, I would say that Anet would be cruel not to sell the Bonus Pack separately, but then again I wouldn't feel sympathy if this was never to be because of all the reasons already mentioned.
To the OP: So your stating that you have no credit card, low income with not a lot of money left over and yet you want to buy it in-stores for $40. Firstly for Anet to spend more money to ship out these packs is unnecessary. Honestly do you expect them to sell character slots in-stores too? This is just a reward not a whole expansion.

The only choice that should matter to A.Net is if a person is SUPPORTING GW or not. And the bonus should be for the people that support them - rather then for the people that support them in a certain way.
Because at the end of the day - the only thing that matters is that it was a marketing disaster because many people who love GW couldn't obtain something they really wanted! And it wasn't even a limited edition of something!
And no I didn't decide to get a boxed version of GWEN instead of the on-line one.
I chose NOT to support GW anymore.

I think they should continue the deal they had, buy 30 bucks worth of stuff and get it, I spent that weeks after the promotion had finished, kinda dissapointing they didnt continue it for longer. I suppose it was my fault for not doing it earlier.
