I can understand why most who have the bonus pack does not want it to be sold seperately - they feel they will have been ripped off for spending money on things they did not need such as extra useless character slots.
Quite simply, ANET should have ran a similar promotion for retailers where the pricing could be made in such fashion as to make people opt to buy online rather than retail. However, the real emphasis is on those who did not have viable methods of purchasing GWEN or for that matter, any other GW product online. Contrary to popular belief, not everyone has or is able to access credit cards (by hook or by crook).
It is amazingly ignorant of ANET in their marketing. They basically were competing with their retailers and bringing in direct revenues by this online promotion. As is the case however, publishers/developers that try to axe away at their retailer market often end up chopping their own feet.
