GW2 50% off
My feelings about this is that if you already have GW2 account theres no need for you to get another. Traditional MMORPGs like EQ, WoW, etc., people would be enticed to this deal of getting another account. But in GW2, boxing is pretty pointless because most of the fighting is moving around and its not let 1 account tank and other accounts spam nukes. I know in traditional MMOs running 3 box was pretty normal and you had these hardcore people running 30 boxes. But GW2, ones enough, I see no reason at all to have more than one account.
You know what, I actually like that this game isn’t box friendly. However I do have to say that this game isn’t really group/party friendly either since everyone is self sufficient.
If this deal was intended to get your friends to play it, than if your target market is 13-18 year olds in middle school and high school, than your doing it wrong. This is because kids haven’t been able to form relationships and school hasn’t started yet for them to gossip about it, the deal ends pretty much when school starts. If your target market is 19 – 25 year olds in college, than your doing it wrong. You should’ve did this deal during the springtime for college people because that’s right before summer and they discuss with friends what they can do over the summer as well.
Have you considered that Arenanet may simply be offering it at a lower price in order to entice players that thought it costs too much at normal price, regardless of what marketing audience they are in?

I used to think (build op, pls nerf) like you, but then I took a nerf to the knee.

Perhaps, some people would want a second (or more) account for a purpose other than multi-boxing. Additional storage comes to mind.
Perhaps, there are more target audiences than those that are quite young (as in under 25). We aren’t all kids, ya know! ; )
5 character slots for $25 … Argh, but the hassle of logging back and forth.
“Whose Kitten is this?” – “It’s a Charr baby.”
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”

I have two accounts and find it rather fantastic for moneymaking. While my Boyfriend(who only has one) gets one set of “farming” things like daily chests in dungeons and world boss bonuses, I get two. Me having two accounts was a long story but it ended up in my favor by doing so. I have no complaints here about having two accounts. Though to be honest I think this sale is targeted at people who don’t have the game already. Or someone like me who might be inclined to purchase the game again for a friend. Also, there is Gamescom going on right now so Having a sale when you have a booth at a convention is a good marketing plan.

Good point, it is smart to reduce sales during event like that.
