It was obvious from the beginning when the BMP limited offer was exactly during when GWEN would be released.
I made the decision to buy online and not have the box.

What a shitty attitude, and rather selfish. You people call your selves fans, Pssah! I call you whiney little children.
"Oh, look at me, look what I can do, and what I can buy!"
It's like buying a Porsche, then parading it through the "BAD LUCK" communities in your town. What a load of BS.
I'm all for selling the BMP in a brick and mortar business. Even if it's only 5 or 10 dollars. I'd still buy it. And i'd enjoy it. Like I do with all of Guild Wars right now.
Rawr, i'm so angry now, and I just woke up!

I am sorry to those very few, limited people that actually had a legitamate reason for not being able to get the BMP. However, 99.9% of the whinning is people that did act and now want.
To bad, sorry bye bye then.

Whats funny is the people saying how it was a 'promotion' and if you didn't buy it, tough luck.
Yet all they promoted were the missions themselves which looked boring and uninteresting. They never promoted that there would be all new max weapons available as rewards for people to use. The latter is actually something interesting, as it serves a use. I would have paid for that. The former I couldn't care less about.

You dont understand how everyone is different, were not one big race of people that likes exactly the same thing, one guy will walk to work and the other will drive. I guess it comes down to limits on personal choice, the bonus pack should have been free to everyone who purchased GW:EN, whatever way they choose to do it. I like having the disks if I format my computer, I've had to wait up to 3 hours in the past downloading the game files so having the disks is much quicker, if I lived in a small sucky appartment that had little room I'd prefer the keys but I dont, I have enough room to put them on a shelf so I'll do that. There shouldnt be a reason for me not to do it that way.

the title says it all: BONUS Mission Pack.
Bonus to what? To stuff bought in the online store. In that it was for a limited time only.
Now that the promotion is over they can just sell it as....Mission Pack.
And i bet that it wont be the last one either.

And to the chap who said they wouldn't make any money in a brick and mortar store. Okay, so offer different payment options in the online store. Paypal is free, so is google checkout. Why cant they use those? Any joe schmoe can set up accounts with either, and have "premier" status. (Have it tie in with your bank account.) They actually PAID ME to set it up like that. Having paypal or google checkout set up in the anet store would please A LOT of people.

The only ones who have any legitimate complaints are the ones who have had technical difficulties (bank/credit card issues).
And petitioning to sell it seperately wouldnt benefit them anyway since if Anet does that, it will STILL BE IN THE ONLINE STORE.

I don't think there were many, if any that didn't think there'd be some kind of loot in the bonus pack. I'm sure the majority got it for that reason.
That said, I understand both sides of the argument. On the one hand it was a promotion, and it ran for quite a while. There seemed to be a lot of time to get things in order. For instance, if your bank would let you use your card in the store, you could always get a prepaid check card or something. Those work don't they.
On the other hand though, I understand there are a lot of kids who play whose parents probably wouldn't let them use their cards. To that I say, well, nothing really I can say but that's how it goes sometimes. I don't think anyone here is in some third world country that has access to a computer, internet and guild wars and can't get a credit/debit card though.
If they were to sell this separately I'd have mixed feelings but ultimately it wouldn't bother me too much. I mean, if they sold this limited promotion, I'd feel like they should do it for other limited stuff too, like collector's editions. I could make up a lot of excuses as to why I didn't buy them at the time and just petition Anet to sell the divine auras and spirit dancers in the online store. How many people would that piss off? I didn't participate in the first roller beetle competition, sell me a rare mini beetle in the online store. I think that's the direction it would start to go if Anet put this in the online store, and it would piss off a lot of people who were glad to have been "rewarded" by participating in these things at their inception.

This was an online promotion. Where is our offline promotion?
You can only pay by credit card. Why, when there are so many other online payment options and some countries don't even HAVE credit cards, is this the only payment method?
If the BMP isn't made available by other means I'll be done with this game. I understand the concept of "Bonus", but what pisses me off is the quality of skins available are far superior to anything that I've paid for 4 times over for myself & family (that's 4 copies of every GW release to date).
It's a slap in the face that this content is given to a select few and denied to everyone else. Hell, there are entire Countries that can't get it, so it's not like we're talking about a handful of people being left out.

But not in the promotion period, so I'm not entitled. 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. |

It was posted before the promotion ended, Gaile asked the community if it would be wise to set up a paypal button in the anet store. Yet, there were nay sayers, and it didn't happen. Most of the nay sayers had bad experiences with poeple ripping them off. I have filed 2 fruad tickets with paypal in the past 2 or 3 years. Each time it was resolved, my money back, and the person who tried to steal my money was kicked from ebay/paypal.

i didn't get it as I'm new to GW and with the lead up to Christmas my kids Christmas presents come before my own entertainment so couldn't afford to buy it at this time
but i still don't think they should sell it separately as it wouldn't be fair on the people that did spend the money to qualify
at the end of the day it was down to my own circumstances so i didn't get it and the people who could afford to get it shouldn't be ripped off because of the minority who couldn't

All the whinners are too late....too slow.....keep yourselves informed and except if you are a QUAKER (in this case you cannot even play a video game) you could manage it with your parents...relatives...friends...bla,bla.
Congrats ANET well done...keep on doing it

with all likely-hood, anet will probably have another promotion and dangle this mission pack as the bait. there are still many of us they want to milk more money out of, so it's definately going to happen in the future.

I knew today was going to be epic whine day when I saw those weapons last night. 
Merchants offer bonuses for using prefered methods of payment all the time. Every time I shop at Target the cashier asks me if I want to save 10% by applying for and using a Target credit card. I choose not to and I don't get the bonus savings. But I don't get mad at the guy behind me who does make that choice as a consumer.
I do hope that Anet offers this promotion or a similar promotion in the future for people who missed out, but until they make other payment methods available in their online store it won't help the people without Credit Cards.
And this will never be sold in stores. Anet would LOSE a lot of money that way.

Yay Anet make us pay for every next update ("promotion"), woo!
There are lot of people who are willing to waste their money for it here, im not.
Oh and by selling BMP in store, those who used promotion wouldnt be ripped off, they basicly got it free with EotN or anything they bough. But those who would buy it additionaly would be in loss.
And you really think by selling BMP all those fancy weapons will loose their value? Just wait for a month or so they will loose value anywhay like everything does because there are many people with BMP anyway.
So /notsigned, wouldnt buy it anyway.

To qualify for the Bonus Mission Pack promotion, you had to spend a total of $29 USD (€26/£17) or more in the Guild Wars In-Game Store or purchase and activate any product worth $29 USD (€26/£17) through the PlayNC online store, between Noon Pacific Time July 5, 2007 and Noon Pacific Time October 31, 2007.
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
so has not a thing to do with how you bought GW:EN rather then how much you spend in time period they specified.
people need to except it..like i missed out on CE Prophecies...but i am not whining pls put in on shelves i missed out not fair...sheesh

The real kicker to those that bought GWEN but where unable to use the online store is that the BMP weapons are better skins then those they released in GWEN.
Really until Anet provides more payment options in the online store and realize the world doesn't revolve around credit card usage there will continue to be complaints. There are enough viable payment options out there for non credit card holding people that Anet should be able to institute them into the store.
Btw, my husband and I would have bought 6 copies of GWEN in the online store, IF Anet offered other payment option.

But still, kinda ticks you off a bit that the new expansion hasnt got anything near as many new "decent" skins as this little bonus. After all this was the "Bonus MISSION Pack", not the "Bonus New skins we didn't fit into EotN Pack"
