I feel that it’s unfair to the people who bought the game at full price.
People who buy it during the discount now get gem store armor skin and mithril box, whereas the people who bought the game (digital deluxe or collector’s edition) upon its release did not.
This gives me a feeling that Anet is focusing on getting new players and ignoring the people who’ve been supporting the developers since the game’s release.
I understand that this is a promotion intended to attract more players, so I was perfectly fine with the discount when it was first offered last week.
However, with the same discount offered immediately a week after, I’m starting to feel it’s a bit unfair.
Those who bought the digital deluxe or collector’s edition early should at least receive the armor skin.
besides, if this discount is offered at such a frequent rate, why not just drop the price permanently and give the old players (who payed the full price) some compensation?
permanent price reduction will be much more appealing than a weekly discount imo, because it’ll now mean physical copies of the game will also reduce in price so that those who don’t wish to do online purchase can now buy the cheaper version in a store.
