They’re only available for purchases between the initial HoT announcement and the release of the prepurchase, because that announcement stated, without any room for interpretation, that you had to, note, had to, not could; purchase the base game beforehand to play the expansion on its release. Heck that was even in the tag-line of the last sale they held, the one in which the game was purchased for you. Sorry but in what world is false advertising not a totally justifiable reason for a refund?

From the blog-post: "For all players who purchased the Guild Wars 2 core game from our website and registered it between January 23, 2015 and June 16, 2015 in anticipation of Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns, we will automatically refund what you paid for the core game should you decide to pre-purchase Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns from our website or in-game store any time through July 31, 2015. "
Got the game January 25, 2015. Maybe I’m just being stupid but the way I understand it my account falls under this clause. I’ll be buying pre-purchase as I want to participate in beta stuff.
Welp… In any case. Thanks for the reply. Made me do a double-take to check if I had to hide mah head in a paper-bag from the embarrassment of making a misinformed post. So far I might still be able to show my face. Lol.

Umm. The refund is not an auto-refund. Its up to you if you want it
and just to point it out in your post

As I’ve said. I totally agree with the sentiments of those who bought the game thinking they needed the core game for HoT. THEY should have a refund. Not me though. I didn’t know about HoT back then. The people you mentioned ARE justified to have a refund, but I don’t think this applies to me. Please read my whole post again. I think I made it pretty clear that this were my sentiments on MY particular situation, not on those who actually do need the refund.
i appreciate Evaara’s post myself, it’s why vets are so important to me, we been together so long, we are like our own family / community that have been there for each other through the years too.
while anet is figuring out how to get new players, i’m trying to think of how to bring the old ones back

That’s the thing. The OP wants to pre-purchase HoT so that they can participate in more beta events. But the OP obviously feels they’ve gotten $10 worth of enjoyment out of it and don’t mind not getting refunded that money.
Evaara, what you could do is when the refund comes through is buy $10 worth of gems.
Or gamble that there won’t be any beta events in July and not pre-purchase until August 1.

So basically I’ll be paying $40 instead (in essence) of $50 once I pre-purchase? Because yes, I will be buying before July 31. I’m kinda interested in the betas.
Welp… I guess I should just be happy with it. I just wanted to say what’s on my mind after all. I just wanted to express that I was grateful and that since I’m not one of the people affected by the whole pre-purchase fiasco I don’t think a refund should also apply to me or to anyone who might have the same exact situation (bought the game not knowing about HoT and had their money’s worth of fun but still within the refund period).
Just buy 10$ in gems.

No. You will be paying $50. You already own Gw2. You will be paying $50 for the expansion.
To people who suggested I just buy $10 worth of gems… Thanks for the suggestion! Guess I’ll do just that. Lol.

Thanks for both suggestions! I might be going with the gems since I’m also considering my budget plan for this month. I might not have the extra money on August (you know how life is) and I might miss beta events like you said.

OP, if it’s really that big a deal for you, buy HoT from Amazon (or any of the other retail partners). As I understand it, the refund won’t apply to those games, but it’s still considered a pre-purchase.
And doesn’t the pre-purchase period end on July 31st? So waiting until August will only get you a normal edition without any extras, if you can even buy it until launch?

If you buy from a retailer, please, make sure it is pre-purchase and not a pre-order. The latter does not come with the coveted access to betas.

But Anet won’t get the full price when buying from a retailer. I believe the 10$ → Gems solution is the best to solve the problem.
