BMP for sale

The content like that is obviously going to remain exclusive though.
Where as more content like this won't, even if it's done in another special promotion. C'mon guys, wisen up.

Yeah so decent of them to rake in $10 a pop for a mistake. Just like skill packs.

Exactly. They complained they couldn't use the online store last time and now that Anet has changed it making it available in stores they still complain. Some complain about the $10.00 price which is totally ridiculous. If you can't afford $10 for an addon then there is some issue you really need to fix.

But we didn't.
It was cheaper on retail than on the online store from what i seen.

I think you just helped me make up my mind about the skill packs.

This is true. I had coupons I could have used at a B&M. I think I would have ended up paying the same for everything...the only difference being that I would also now have a physical box.

I was holding back on the skill packs in case i needed to buy them to qualify for another promo run of BMP.....now depending on my budget on Jan 28th I may just buy them all outright.

In fact they should put the other special content from the past up (the limited edition auras and minipets) there too, they would make good cash from the online store like that.

Just take this as a learning experience. If Anet offers something as an "exclusive promotion" outside of a magazine, you'll be able to get it if you wait a few months, and save yourself a bit of coin.
Cynical? Hell yes, but it's proven true at the moment.

So why exactly are those upset, upset about? Because other people can buy the BMP now right? How is that not selfish again?

ANet just made ten dollars off of me. That and the Ice Crown being improved makes me a happy customer today .

it seems you should of bought the game at the store then, and bought something else from Anets online store. It's actually your fault, not Anets.

You seem to be avoiding the main argument.
That we missed out on the box and we wasted money on it.

Oh, what am i a fortune teller?
I couldn't predict the future.
It was all a guessing game.

Nice. And in stores even. I never imagined it would come to stores.

Actually, no, I'm not upset at all about that. I just wished I had known it was going to happen. I would have bought a box instead of buying GWEN through the online store.

So I've saved $10, but I have no box. That's what I'm upset about.

We expected to only be able to buy this for a short while and did so to support ANet, knowing we'd be spending far more than in a retail store and missing out on the cool box. And also that Anet would probably make thrice the revenue off of our purchase than they would if someone bought from a store.

I know, But Anet failed to deliver the BMP properly at first, it was also free in the sense of when you buy other stuff and come up about 30 dollars you will get the bmp, NO ONE ever paid for the BMP officially, and you cant deny that because it was a free offer when you spend more then 30 dollars in the store, the people who do claim they paid for it are nuts, because they just wanted the bmp and had to buy things they possibly didnt need or thought it would be a good time to purchase something usefull, like char slots and get the free offer as well.

Now look i understand that some people might be a little pissed or dissapointed because the BMP is coming retail now and their uniqueness is gone with it, but look at how many people will be delighted because now they can get it without hassle in online stores or credit cards.

Though there is a lot of QQ threads and posts now about how people want divine aura, pre order and hats to but thats just utterly stupid and pointless, i cant seem to grasp why people even bother but thats just me, YES i know i made a thread when BMP came out and i really felt pissed why anet failed to deliver the bmp properly, as in more payment options would have been better, more people would buy stuff online if they had the option, but we didnt get the options and we felt left out, i expressed that, i wanted to discuss it but before i knew the thread was closed and regarded as a QQ thread, though my intention was to discuss how anet failed at that point.

To be quite honest i didnt expect that the BMP would go retail ever, but it does now and the news really made my day partly because i was feeling left out.

Wait. Pay $40 to get the box and pay $29 on something else in the store to get the BMP. So the solution is to have paid $69?

Now why didn't I think of that.

You feel left out...i feel betrayed...surely you must empathise for my situation.

lol.....the box, you can have mine.....amazingly i still have it even though i usually throw them away. (I'm a slob when I have a good game to play)

It's truly pathetic that ANet caved in.

If you're serious and everything is mint/complete...you might just want to send me a PM.
