Anet doesn't have to keep your unlocks. Anet doesn't have to let you play. There's an EULA warning you that they can cancel your account anytime. It is just your time and money. It is just a game. Give me a break. The "event" extension was a "surprise gift", and presumably was going to extend the event, not the grace period. Many of us thought that it was a chance to get the rewards over the weekend, to allow casual players who work, have kids and so on a chance to get the rewards of pre-ordering. |
i think the point is that the day of the tengu event is an extra that anet threw our way. everything else you mentioned is what we pay for when we buy the game. we paid for the characters, the items, the skills, and the ability to play it. so, deleting our toons, resetting our accounts, locking skills, and preventing us from playing would be an outrage considering that is what we paid for.
however, the head start event was an "extra" that they provided. they could very well have not thrown the event and just allowed people with pre-orders get a head start on doing normal questing/exploring of cantha. would people complain if there hadn't been any event or mention of an event at all? most likely not. they would be too busy enjoying the new continent and what it had to offer to notice.
so the point is, the event is an extra. if you missed it, i'm sorry. if you really were a "casual" player, you wouldn't care so much.
after all, it is just a chicken head.
get over it.
