yeah some would be ribbed off because many people spent the money just to get it because they were told it was limited!
it they wasn't told it would be limited do you they would have waited to get it in stores or online separately? i believe so
but i agree they should have more payment option in the online store because
1 they would get a hell of alot more sales that way
and 2 the people who cant get a credit card ie kids would be able to save their pocket money and still get the game
personally i don't mind my 12 year old step-daughter using my card but she has to save to money up first then after shes given it to me i put it in the bank and sit down with her at the computer and buy what she wants but i always check what she wants is safe and from a site we trust

Like I said, basically it was to promote buying GW:EN from the in-game store. You could choose to buy other things to satisfy the promotion.

416 people said they would not use PayPal. Gaile asked if people wanted PayPal, and a majority said no. Also, PayPal is not free for the merchant, any person would tell you it's not free to use PayPal.

This BMP is ok~ish idea and lot of people are enjoying it, but in my opinion better idea would have been to sell this as EotN CE promotion, target audience would have been much bigger.
The day when AN starts to sell exclusive in-game content through online store is the day when I look another game and drag all my friends along.

everyone knew about it
if your credit card didnt work you can buy prepaid ones that you use like mobile phone top-up cards, easy.

i don't have a credit card, and i even mailed the ingame store about this but they said they didn't accept any other payment whatsoever. New ways might be added in the future though, they stated
so yeah, i wouldn't mind getting the BMP later on and paying for it.

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. |

Wrong, me for instance I live in Europe and cannot go to the XY Game Convention where GW players can get pins & so on.....I am not jealous....I dont scream...its part of the game.
You had FOUR (4) months to buy on line for X.........Question is: WHY DIDNT YOU REACT BEFORE INSTEAD OF NOW?
Too late folks.....you can cry me a river Joe Cocker is singing LOL

Anet has done what it can. Yes theres tons of other online methods, but its Anet's decision which it has chosen for its store.

But it turned out to be quite a major addition, which is where I feel ripped off, as if we'd they'd promoted it properly - "Play as Togo, get unique max weapons, better than those found in eotn!" I definitely would have found a way to buy it off the store.

Kind of like a sandbox mode for appearance, armors, minipets, and weapons. Damn that would rule. No need to grind for shit, just have fun playing the game.

I spent 36€ on each account in the shop with my credit card, before and after the promotion.
For no reason, I would have bought anything useless, like extra character slots I don't need, just to get a mission pack for free.
Those who did, are idiots. If you did, well ...
If A.net wants my money, and that of other buyers, they know what they need to do. And soon. If they do it too late, well it's possible I'll keep my money and thxbye.

Regarding the BMP subject again, no it shouldn't be sold separate, either add the BMP to the online store has a bonus for x amount spend again or simply release it free in a few months.

but if they release it free then it wouldn't be fair on the people who spent the money because it was "LIMITED"
and this thread isn't a flame war or anything there's no personal jabs or name calling people are just stating their strong opinions on the BMP promotion

Your moronic faults because you didn't go get a prepaid credit card with enough cash on it to buy GW:EN for the pack so stop complaining already. It is your fault you don't have it and I hope the people that are complaining that they don't have it don't get it.

Would have got it, if there was something in the shop worth buying. But as it was, it wasn't worth buying two character slots that I didn't need, when they wouldn't even really tell us what was in the pack.

I couldn't buy EotN from the in-game store because the lineage II beta somehow bugged my playNC account (happened to quite a few people apparently, but playNC denies it) to deny any credit card number I enter, and their tech support refused to help me so I was forced to buy the game in a store. Now I find out that the stupid promotion was the only way to get the BMP, and even if I waste all the time it will take to get this stupid bugged account crap fixed (playNC insist the credit/debit cards I've tried are bad, and wants me to get my bank to contact them, while denying any possiblity of the lineage II beta bugging my account even though I have found forums full of people with the same problem and the first 2 people I contacted in tech support said that was the problem) I won't be able to buy it anyways!

Anet was clear from the very beginning. This was a bonus to promote purchases from the on line store. All anyone had to do was buy GW:EN online and they'd qualify. I'm sorry for those who were unable to for various reasons, but everytime I don't qualify for this promotion from company A or that promotion from company B I shrug it off. It's just real life people.

yes anet could of hadled this better i must state that!
there should have been more payment options, more stuff worth buying in the online store and the stuff that is there is a little over priced anyway (since we got GW,EN for £15.99 in our local gamestation where it is £24.99 in the online store)
but what is done is done and unless they are going to offer something as compensation to those that spent the money to qualify then i just don't think it should be offered separately

Please, in those countries how do you manage to play GW?
Do they have providers? Do you need batteries in order to use your PC?
It was a free bonus, you just had to comply with Anet's contracts which ended the 31st of October 1987.
Try to be WISE next time ok?

*sigh* I really feel uneasy if Anet starts selling content at the store.
The GOTY update is different since the GOTY edition is the new "V2" of Prophecies, since they stopped producing the original version and it makes it not exclusive.
Granted the BMP can only be gained at the store, it is not for sale. It was free bonus. A limited time offer. A reward for customers being at the right place and the right time.

It strikes me as odd that people without the means of a credit card, or those who had the desire to own the box are moronic or stupid. I appreciate that it was a promotion for the online store, but i can't understand why those people who were able to buy online appear to not want this available for the masses.
In my opinion you didn't pay for the BMP, you paid for GW:EN (or extra character slots, game of the year edition, etc). I also paid for GW:EN but in a shop. That doesn't mean i'm any less devoted to GW because i didn't run to daddy asking for his credit card. This whole thing is a farse. Through what ever means we have all payed for the game. We should all be entitiled to all of the game content.

Yes, they should probably sell it in the store for $10. What's annoying though is I bet many people just planned to whine for it if it was good and therefore not have to waste money on GW:EN. They were pretty smart I guess.
