Guild Wars 2

I’ve spent a significant amount of money on gems in this game, i’ve pre-ordered it, and it was a digital deluxe.

Now ANet made these nice kites and put them in the gem store, normally that’d be ok, if they didn’t give them away to people who made gem purchases within the last month….what about those who didn’t, what about those who spent lots of money on the game NOT within the last month?, don’t they deserve something?

I’m saddened by this

Funny how ANet chooses to reward the players:

For 50/50 they give them the “world”.
For the last month gem buyers, they give them kites.
For the rest of the players… they give them the finger…
/sarcasm

LOL.. if Anet gave out free kites to everyone who spent gems since the launch of gw2 and not within the last month guess how many? a LOT.. Anet would be making imo huge financial losses than gaining something.. besides they aim to promote the kites hence the limit. i also did not get a kite due to spending gems in july not june but thats my tough luck and i dealt with it. Deal with it^^

The other month i received the dragonbash minis because i purchased gems between launch and 9th june.

Anyway, i find complaining about this funny. Let’s say you go to the shop to buy something and it’s ‘buy one get one free’. The following week it’s not. Would you complain if you missed it and only got 1? Would you say you deserved the extra one because you’ve been going to that shop for a long time?

I remember getting some mini’s a while back for having bought gems early on.

Regrettably, they sucked and don’t even count for the mini collection achievement….so I would rather have had a kite I think.

I am aware of them having given out free minis to people who purchased gems as well but like this time, back then there also was a month limit and theres a reason they do it; for promotion. i doubt they would want to bankrupt themselves by giving out freebies to everyone who ever bought gems since launch of gw2. So with that said the thread just becomes pointless and op is complaining.

I still see this as a promotion and possibly a teaser, like “hey, we’ll give you this to try it if you like it check out the other types~” so yeah promotion^^

I’ve spent $1000 on this game.

I think I deserve five legendaries, an autograph from Colin and a job at Arenanet.

But that’s just me.

Op- the mini’s where for people who bought gems from the time the game launched until April/May- ish ( no longer have the mail).

The kites where for the period after that.

As for people only getting one type of Kite- I am not sure what you are talking about because I know people have gotten wind, electricity, sun kites- I have a sun kite myself.

If you want his holiness to give you an autograph you’re going to need to spend more than $1000, sorry

I saw OP’s name and couldn’t continue reading the post without laughing, lol. Rapid… Sausage…
