the exclusive and limited time thing applies to the promotion not the BMP...that is the way it is.
it was a successful product..why not offer it to the greater GW community.

Actually you will note after that first night (and if you look at the time of the posts you will see a full night between them) Gaile changed to saying they were doing this because of the people who asked and because so many couldn't get it before. In fact, a post or two even goes back to implying ("we are doing this
now because...") that they *did* in fact change their minds.
They dropped the whole "not exclusive" thing like a hot potato and I'm willing to bet that they wish the people on the forums would drop it also
. I wonder if the complaints wouldn't be where they are at if that has been what they had said at the beginning. I know I, for one, wouldn't be that angry. Can't say I would be happy but I can at least somewhat understand changing ones mind over lieing to me. Add in that they *aren't* being that exact with the "any NCSoft purchase" and I seriously doubt they had that many eyes read it to that level of exactness.
I do generally guess they did mean it to be "exclusive" and later changed their minds - they just didn't handle the mind changing thing well at all. My feeling is the "we never said..." stuff was the actual lie, but then again that's not really any better in my opinion (in fact, maybe even worse since it also contains a high level of stupidity to think that would work well).
