Yeah, I'd like for them to offer the BMP (not to mention other similar GW 1 updates in the future as well) in the online store. Gives it a whole new appeal.

1. The only way to get the BMP in my country is by using a creditcard.
2. I do not have a creditcard.
3. I do not want to get a creditcard for the sole purpose of BMP.
4. I want the BMP
5. I would have had it if there was another way to pay online...

/NOT SIGNED FOR RESELLING THE BMP AS A STORE ITEM

Firstly. The BMP is a FREE bonus. I do not want Anet to resell it.
Secondly: The BMP was a LIMITED time offer. Just like how the Collectors Editions of GW were limited. 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.

I'm not overly fussed about getting it or not, i missed out on it as my bank won't let me have either a debit or credit card at 17... 18 next month too but oh well, also not everyones parents let them use their cards.

If i were anet i'd /sign it personally, those who already have it do not lose anything, and those who dont have it gain it, only in the online store though (a lá the millenium edition code sold in the store for those /bonus items) since i'd be very surprised if selling in retail stores would be cost effective.

And Anet gets even more money to put towards GW2 or any current changes to GW they might have planned.

Anet is not a Beneficence company so if they can make money from selling bmp they will sell it.
It's business agree or not

The real question is why should they put it in the online store? The poeple who couldnt buy things from the online store still wont be able too.
Also the people who did spend the money on gwen from the online store will feel pretty backstabed.

Making it an exclusive, available only to those who purchase in THEIR store is even smarter because it drives traffic to the store and entices MORE purchasing, than by selling just the BMP itself.

Why? for money. People that don't buy from plaync shop will buy it for sure.
Money is the reason for all. no other reason needed

I have the BMP, but i agree.

Maybe some people didn't have the possibility of buying online, may have it now or will have it in the near future.

so making $380 a fortnight and paying over 200 dollars on bills and what ever left to eat is my own fault?, pfft!

Oh and i know many people who thought GW:EN was a good price compared to the other campaigns

and i cant mention how many times the error code was brought up

oh and i said for what ever price a-net read the bottom of my first post



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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)

1) no not because he has it..but because he read the effing rules and followed them. You however did not and should not have the BMP

2) If you are that poor good chance you are lazy. I worked thru college and pay my bills and my student loans and still have the money to buy the BMP so don't cry to me that you are poor...work harder/smarter and get a better job....or at least don't spend money on internet and games if you are "so poor"

3) Yes it is you could have done well in school, got a scholarship gone to college and made something of yourself other than head buss boy at McDonalds

4) Lay-away is same as a credit card but it ends up costing a little more and on something this small it would be very little more and you get the product as well so don't cry that you couldn't do it...cant get a credit card? you should not have gotten yourself into credit trouble.

Personally i couldn't at the time of the promotion due to my being 17 but within a week i'll be 18 and thus able to get things off the online store, this isn't true of most of the people who didn't get it however i'm sure kids can whine to their parents even harder for christmas and get it that way, and those who have cards but didn't (for whatever reason) can should their initial reason not still hold.

I understand the feeling backstabbed part, but i'd have thought Anet would look at this with $$ in their eyes, plus they've already got your money. End of the day Anet's out to make money.

they wont sell it alone, wont happen.
i'm kinda positive tho about a.net doing ANOTHER similar promotion offering the BMP as a bonus again.
if u're hoping to buy it for 9.99$ u'll be severely disappointed.

Enjoy the box content from gwen, we had to give that up for the BMP, so except that you can't bake your cake and eat it too.

I'm impartial to them selling the BMP, because I don't care about the missions at all.
Just make the weapons uncustomized so we can buy them.

this is where you and the rest of the masses are WRONG. all one had to do was spend $30(usd) on ANY ingame store item. you coulda bought gwen retail and then bought char slots..pvp packs...etc.etc.etc.

Thats why Anet has just severly dubbed its playerbase, you dont have a choice in what you buy, its buy it our way or dont get extra content = FAIL.

Character slots are mostly pvp (only 3 pve), im UAX, have all 3 campigns, what am i supposed to do if i wanted the book content for EotN and the BMP from the gw store. Buy the game twice?

what I find funny about all of this is all of the details were made VERY clear:
Buy $30 worth of stuff on the online store during Oct, get the Bonus mish pack in Nov.

Those of you who cry foul can really only blame yourselves, remember this was an online store PROMOTION. If you cant use the online store due to lack of a credit card or w/e, then obviously you should have pushed this issue BEFORE they released it. I mean, now that you all see its great content you say its "not fair." What if it wasn't as boss as it is? Wouldn't you have just laughed at us for wasting money on the online store? LOL

Refund for what? Anet don't promise you anything.It simply give you some kind of offer. Instead of BMP they could put Free Slot Character (that you can buy from online shop). It's the same thing.
The question is: i bought all my four game from p##y.com via preorder, after i see the promotion but it was too late. I didn't need free slot, i've unlocked around 80% of all skill, then why i must spend 26 euro for something that i didn't need? Plus we think that they're all simply quest,no one known that new weapons will be added
I think that 14.99euro would be the right price.
If they decide don't sell the bmp.....well i think i will survive

The strange fact is that all not agreed people are those who got bmp

Numerous threads were made before the release so people could get this, so in theory that whole post made no sense. If there had been NOT ONE SINGLE RANT about there being a limited offer for online store only then there would be no reason for people to rant now but because there was VERY MANY RANTS about it then they have the right to complain. Forums like this are a place for open discussion and with community people suppousdley reading these threads then its the only way they can communicate with them.

It was horrible idea from the start. Im afraid GW is becoming the game where you have to pay for exclusive content.

And personaly I dont want to pay anything then a game cd/dvd, thats why I started playing GW anyway because it doesnt have monthly fees, which is great!

It would be best if BMP was just a bigger update for everyone...
...but ANet has to earn money somehow, right?

what were you supposed to do? spend 30 bux to meet the qualifications. no more. no less. no excuses.

/edit you want book content? well then yes, pay twice or request that it be d/lable from anet.

Reason being, you had around 4 months notice to buy, you also had the chance to buy gwen online instead of instore so what if you pay a bit more now you wish you did pay that extra couple of quid but back then you wouldn't this is because you though this BMP would be crap, now that you've seen that its good you want it, this makes it unfair to the people who bought it before hand because they took the risk that it would be good, why should they give you another chance to get it because you want it now its good.

It's just not fair to all the people that did buy it without knowing what it was, and its a uniqueness(SP?) now to the people who did buy it so it should never be made to sell imo.

/signed, but A.net needs to hurry up, if they wait 2-3 months all the hype for the new shiny things will have gone and many potential buyers will have lost interest.

Personally, I bought from this company:

8 boxed games (2 accounts with all campaigns + eotn)
2 extra slots for each account (online shop)
1 eotn preview for each account (online shop)
3 skill unlock for each account (online shop)

So besides the boxed, I spend more than 36€ from the online shop for each account. But not in the promotion period, so I'm not entitled to get it for free. No problem. I have money and credit card.

I don't want anything for free.

When I consider something worth to be bought, I take my credit card, PAY real money and BUY.

Since I'm used to PAY to get things, I'm also used to avoid wasting money.

During the promotion, there was NOTHING worth to be bought in the online shop.
Buying 3 extra slot I didn't need would have been WASTED money.

Those who wasted money buying something they didn't need are idiots, stop.



If they sell this mission pack, I can consider the possibility to SPEND my MONEY to buy it. If they do it too late, I might lose any interest and they will lose my money.

I wouldn't fret too much, the BMP will be sold separately or as part of another deal at one point or another.

Then again maybe I'm overestimating their intelligence.

Why should I be limited in the way I WANT to purchase one of their products. If you had any idea of business you'd relise that they still need to sell in stores to keep stores buying their games.
