I'm sorry for the people who were not able to get the BMP, but at the same time Anet(Gaile) made it perfectly clear the BMP was an exclusive offer for the ones who bought GW:EN or some other stuff online.

If I recall, it was a limited time promotion to get the BMP for "free" if you made a purchase in the online store. I dont recall it specifically saying the BMP was limited time in its availability making it inaccessible through other possible future means, including its being sold separately in the online store. I may be wrong, but that was always the way I interpreted it.

If they do sell it online in the store, then I'll be looking for some of those little added things, such as the stylist, given now they'll have a bit of extra revenue.

I would sign this, only for the people that TRULY were not able to buy anything via the online store. And to those of you, I am sorry.

Unfortunately, a good part of those that want it to be sold seperately are those that want everything their own way (the ones that, back then, CHOSE to turn down the BMP offer because they wanted the boxed version of GW:EN, etc. And to those I say sorry, tough luck. It was your choice to turn down the promotion.

My point is simply they never said there wouldnt be other ways to get the BMP after the promotion was done, so making an argument such as "you chose not to buy something from the online store, so tough" is a bit negative and desiring of exclusivity. It was quite easy to assume based on the way Anet worded that promotion that it would be for sale in the online store shortly after the promotion ended, if not right after. I read it that way, but still chose to get GWEN online anyway so I'd not have to purchase the BMP later as I was getting GWEN. I could be wrong - they really could have intended it to be a one-time thing.

I agree with you though - for those that had no payment options available to them, I do wish Anet would sort that out. Allowing them to get it through another payment means online after the fact likely also means Anet will make it available again to purchase separately for those who missed out the first time.

But not until 6+ months after it goes live for the first wave of players that got it as a "bonus". That way they won't feel as "cheated" since they got a head start on the content and probably won't care as much after all that time. (Less whining ftw)

The players that didn't make the deadline can have sloppy seconds. keke

(p.s. I didn't get the BMP nor do I wish to, even if it was $5)

Yea actually that might be fair... Besides im not sure why anyone is complaining right now. No one really knows how long or what we will do there besides the spoilers they gave us. Granted the new items are enticing, but they will probably turn out to be 1k objects that anyone can get.

Trust me if its "free" its not going to be that extravagant. It will just be like adding 4 more missions to your GW account. It will take like 3 hours to complete and you get some new skins that might be available everywhere eventually.

No one should be complaining for a gift that they gave us. Its like the little kid who didn't what he wanted for Christmas and complains to his parents that he should get whatever he wants lol, its something they did to be nice! Everyone was given ample timing to buy something from the online store AND they did this around the time of GW:EN which was really easy to fulfill the requirements. ANET could have been a whole lot worse and not given us anything at all...

I noticed, that the two top people are not signing it cus they COULD get the money together and probably live at home with there mum....and before any mentions about me owning the other campaigns it called LAY-BUY(LAY-WAY in some countries)
If you couldn't afford to buy it along with 3 character slots a month ago, how are you magically able to buy it alone for $40 now?

If you're struggling so much in life, quit trolling forums and get a second job... one that pays more than minimum wage (not sure what country you are from, but assuming US minimum wage since you reference US currency in your tirade).

QFT.

4 mini missions for $40- are you insane? I don't know how you define struggling to survive, but I'd define it at least in part as being unable to throw $40 bucks you need for food at 4 mini missions (what 3 or 4 hours of game? IF THAT?)

The BMP info was released in what, July? There was plenty of time between then and now to discuss/vent etc.

Everyone and their mother who hasn't already got the BMP has suggested this and it's just not a good idea. You could've got it for free and don't give me that there was no way you could get it from the online store you could get a prepaid card or a borrowed card or loads of other things. It was given as a promotion, it's purpose was to attract people to the online store to buy GW:EN (which worked on me GW:EN is that only thing i've bought in the online store). You had plenty of time to get it and you didn't so if you really want it, question is why don't you already have it?

Though I find the OP a little immature in the way s/he's expressing himself. s/he does have a point.

The Bonus Mission Pack was given away free to people who spent x amount at the online store before a certain date. The online store is only available to people who have credit cards.

By making the Bonus Mission Pack available as a paid-for add-on through other means (in-store CD pack, paid-for magazine promotion, whatever) that puts a value on the BMP. You spent your money at the online store, you got it free. You didn't spend your money at the online store, you can buy it for, what, $8.99? The cost of a character slot?

I bought GW:EN online so I'm not personally affected by this decision. But until the Bonus Mission Pack is available generally at a price, it's not free. It's a bribe.

"Currently no plans" is a rather vague statement, that could easily be interpreted as "we're not going to say anything to interfere with the offer".

Some of you guys should really stop being so smug. We haven't found out that it will no longer be available - as far as I can tell ANet have made no solid statement on the matter.

And in that case, it comes down to a choice. Whether to go with the offer and guarantee receiving the pack. Or wait, and risk NOT getting it. Vague or not, "currently no plans" kinda sticks out as a warning that maybe..."I should grab it while I can"? Those that had the means to pay, and chose not to, CHOSE not to recieve the BONUS.

-News of the pack has been out since July
-Everyone who has a credit card had a means to get it (GW:EN)
-Some of them chose to get it
-Some waited to "see what happens", or turned it down because they wanted a cardboard box more
^those people may be out of luck, as the result of the choice they made

Those that wanted it, but had absolutely NO way to get it, is a different situation, of course. And hopefully Anet will find a way to prevent that in the future.

I didn't buy EOTN from the online store, quite frankly it didn't come to mind. Going into town was far more efficient for me, so i did it. Why should i spend (like what is it, $10 each?) on 2 character slots i won't even use? I'm effectively ending up paying the price of EOTN or whatever, for 4 missions. Nty. Shame really, was looking forward to this pack..

Its called a bonus mission pack for a reason and by allowing everyone to buy it, its not much of a bonus to the people who purchased from the online store.

Even if they did, you wouldn't be seeing this sold in stores and it'd be sold only in their online store. You didn't buy GWEN from their online store to get it, why would you now?

To be honest, i never knew about this promotion when GW:EN came out. I didn't know GW:EN would be in the online store, as i've never gone onto it, but it only takes 2 secs to know their own game will be on there

Maybe it's my fault, maybe i'm blind. But i read fansites like this one, i read the login screen on entry.. and i can't remember seeing anything.

Plus i don't have a credit card anyway...

It's only 4 missions, so i won't be too gutted. It is fair that it's given as a bonus to those using the online store, but getting it free as appose to paying is a bonus, imo.

Well that's July 7th and is quite a while ago. She's not going to say they have plans to release it other ways while the promotion is going on. A lot fewer people would have made the online store purchases in that case. She also only says "currently there are no plans" so her quote doesnt really pull a lot of weight. Plans change and when the promotion ends they'd move at that time to releasing it an additional way if they wished. They've also never explicitly said it will not be available through other means. All that as well as having called it a limited time promotion, not a limited mission pack, leaves the door wide open.

Doesnt affect me either way as I bought GWEN online. I'm just pointing out that Anet's made no concrete statement against its being available again that I am aware of. In a thread about alternate payment means in the online store for those overseas (PayPal) she did state they were working on those payment means but that agreements internationally took a while to sort out and they were hoping to get the issue of the BMP for those overseas addressed soon. Didnt sound at all like a "no, we wont release it again" but a rather "be patient for a little longer" kind of a reply. This was in a topic specifically addressing the BMP for those overseas and she made no comment to the effect of "sorry, but you missed out and it wont be released again." Possibly this means a BMP promotion upcoming for those overseas only, or possibly it means it will be for sale in the store for all when PayPal is sorted out. Hard to say either way.

I agree though. Anyone really wanting the BMP could have bought GWEN or something else online to ensure they had it, rather than risking anything. I'm not denying that.

They probably thought they'd be able to sort out European payment options by that time too, as it was mostly Europeans that complained about the CC being the only option in the Store.

However, 3 Months later and you get:
Quote:
Starting on Tuesday, October 7, players in the UK and Germany will be able to purchase character slots and the Guild Wars: 1 Million Edition Upgrade from the Guild Wars In-Game Store using telephony interactive voice response (IVR) billing. Players in the UK will be able to purchase the Guild Wars: 1 Million Edition Upgrade from the Guild Wars In-Game Store using premium-rate short messages (SMS).
Which help 2 European countries, although I heard the German system doesn't work. Sweet deal, taking them 3 Months to provide additional access for 2 countries, access that SHOULD have been improved long before the promotion.

So yes, sell the Promo pack in the store at 5$/€ (nvm the conversion as usual <.<), 30$ is too much for a mere 4 missions though. Though improve the access first. Seriously. It sucks badly. Or make Char slots purchasable from the PlayNC store, which does provide more payment options than the online store.
For most of us Europeans, it wasn't a matter of time, it was a matter of whether or not Anet was able to provide more payment options for us. Hell, the Promotion could have lasted a year, it'd still be completely useless to us as long as CC remain the only option to purchase stuff from it.

/signed but at $5

You see in this scenario, what you early purchasers of the BMP did was exclude yourself from having to pay by allowing Anet to skip the packaging and just send you the game, saving them money and giving you free extra content. A fair trade off.

If we were to pay an extra $5 to get the BMP as a result of getting the packaged version of GW:EN, this would also be a fair trade off. For ArenaNet, the data is already there. So why not make an extra profit from this? The only possible reason for not implementing an alternate way to get the BMP I can think of is extra server costs. If that isn't the case, then it's simply a poor business maneuver to withhold the BMP from the rest of the community as the extra money flow of $5 per extra BMP sold could only help ArenaNet at that point.

blame your lousy government for regulations that prevent you from getting free cc such as most of the free world has access to.

blame your super greedy banks that charge you a high premium for a card.

the rest of the civilized world can get a low or no cost cc from any bank here .

cc companies would love to expand but your govt not Anet/Csoft is blocking them.

your greedy banks are supercharging for something we take as granted for free.

if my bank started to have a service charge for my cc i would go right next door to one of the other major banks and transfer my accounts on the spot if the charge was not waived.

Actually, we have debit cards.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debit_card

Which are actually more widespread throughout Europe and unlike CC, they're free to use. So really, unless you're a European who travels a lot or buys a lot of things off the Internet, a CC is useless. And even if you do buy from the Internet, a lot of online stores do accept Debit Cards.
Also, the governement has nothing on CC by my count, but Debit cards are pretty much encouraged to use by both merchants (lower fees than CC) and buyers (No cost to use it). And technically, Belgium hasn't got a governement at the moment to blame (for this anyway ).
We can get CCs, it's just that getting them would mean we'd have to start paying for them, while having a better alternative at hand.
So really, what all us Europeans should have done is get a CC, only to use it once in Anet's Online Store? Oh yeah, that's a great solution...

option two blame the greedy bank?

the biggest complaint on every site/forum/thread/post covering this was some variation of i refuse to pay x euros just to use a cc AND MY BANK WILL NOT BUDGE ON THE FEE

i hope you get a better govt soon than i have now.

If it is made available as a seperate purchase, I believe that the price should be higher than $29, simply because that was the amount required to qualify for the promotion.

Why? Simply because it's too late. People have already purchased GWEN or 3 Character Slots just for BMP.

Additionally, please don't tell me it's difficult to make $30 in the time span from July to the end of October. If it is, then you shouldn't be playing GW in the first place.

lol, you who have bought slots and/or gwen, wanted the pack for free, like myself, whats wrong with ANet selling it later, its not like they extend BMP for Free, those who bought it later will only get the mission pack NOT FREE and no gwen no slots... lol

no one force us to get it for free, its a bonus if you spend money in the online store, its not a bonus if they SELL it later. (not in a box please :P)


"For a limited time, when you spend $29 USD (€26/£17) or more in the Guild Wars In-Game Store or through the PlayNC Store, you will get a Guild Wars Bonus Mission Pack for free!"


it says for limited time it will be free, my understanding of that is after the limited time It will not be free = sold at a price.

Frankly, I'm astonished at all the snivelling against the idea that this pack might be made available any other way. My recollection of the several long threads on this subject, was that many players were not happy with the offer and many also believed that it would become available some other way. Since ANet never once explicitly stated that there would be no other methods of obtaining the pack, I think those people have every right to anticipate another chance to acquire it.

/not signed

it was an offer, available as a promotion for the online store, if it becomes available another way it would be somewhat disrespectful to those that made the necessary purchases through the store to get this.

Read my post better next time before laughing at it. Your reply makes no sense in regards to my post.

My post summary:
I bought GW:EN(boxed version)
I would like to buy the BMP at $5(ingame store version) - this would make Anet money assuming extra server costs wouldn't hinder the profit.

Anet makes an addition $5 (excluding taxes) for data that is intangible, meaning no packaging fee on Anet's part.
Assuming the feasibility of the aforementioned points, it would be a bad business maneuver to NOT utilized data that are just sitting there anyhow.
