Q:

So with this new expansion it includes the core game as well as the expansion? So in other words i just paid $60 for GW2 when i could have gotten it AND the expansion for $50 if i had just waited? or is the expansion JUST the expansion and not include the core game?

A:

If you bought GW2 within the past 30 days Anet support is refunding/compensating customers. Beyond 30 days and you may be screwed.

You also lost all your work since they disable your account. What they should have done was let them buy HOT and refund the $10 or what they spent in GEMS.

Do you know any1 who has lost progress because of a refund then?

Ive seen on redit a user claim he got a refund and DID NOT loose his progress. He purchased the base game for $40 and got that refunded and paid the $50 for hot and the base game without loosing any progress.

Add my voice to the chorus of discontent. I was with this game since about a month after it came out, just after the online sales were suspended and reinstituded. Two-and-a-half years. And guess how much I paid for the core game? That’s right. $49.99 USD. Am I wrong to feel like I’m being punished for being an early adopter?

Correct, If you had waited you would have gotten both. You can try applying for a refund. You’ll lose all progress, but you’ll be able to get HoT with free base game.

Per Regina The expansion costs $50. The core game is included as a free gift to new players.

“Just paid $60” how recent is “just paid”
…I’m pretty sure core hasn’t cost $60 within the last year, could be wrong though…
Either way, looks like if you contact support they will refund you up to 30 days(and completely close your account, including the gw1 link of applied); at which point you can pre-purchase HoT, which includes core.

Per arenanet/staff/knights, you would not be buying core at this point, but getting it included with your HoT purchase. It is very important to remember this fact, that core will be given to you, free of charge, valued at $0. Otherwise, you may get upset.

But it’s not corporate mumbo jumbo. If you’ve bought the expansion recently ask for a refund. If you haven’t bought it recently you’ve had time to play it and you’ve gotten money out of it.

Welcome to the real world.

Let me explain this to you in real simple terms:

I HAVE NO RECOURSE.

I have been playing GW2 since early October of 2012. Unless and until this problem is solved to my satisfaction, I won’t be buying HoT. Anet made a grave miscalculation in catering to new players at the expensive of veterans, and they won’t get my $50 until such time as I believe I am getting sufficient value for my money.

So people who paid full price got an extra 15-16 days more than people who got in on $10 sale who now can’t refund and that justifies a sufficient gap that we got our “moneys worth”.

I’m not going to ask for a refund for over two-and-a-half years worth of time and money I put into this game. If I ever feel like my concerns with HoT are sufficiently addressed, I would not rule out buying it. I have no intentions of permanently leaving GW2 altogether. That said, I don’t think Anet could have handled this controversy any worse. The silence is deafening.

That’s a poor comparison. This is more like getting a shelf, building up a china plate collection, and then after seeing a better deal on a shelf having to give up your entire collection just to get the same value that other people are getting.

Keep in mind that in order to receive refunds, people have to give up their current accounts entirely. If they worked hard over the past ~30 days, that could be a lot of effort gone entirely to waste simply because they were misled to believe that there wouldn’t be this better deal.

If they bought the kitten game 2 months ago and played so much with so many achi/gear/gold/whatever that they don’t want to refund it, but still feel like they want a refund cause they lost money.

No one can help them. You either get a refund but lose all your progress, with a new cheaper fresh account, or you keep the account but “lose” money. You can’t have it both ways.

I feel like keeping my account but still get the discount, it somehow proves my point doesn’kitten Because if you truly wan’t to save your account, you are saying that the money you put down was worth it, don’t you? If you truly played that much during those 2 months, that you don’t want a refund, it was worth it all along.

I think 30 days Guarantee seems legit, you bought it within 30 days of the HoT pricing announcement, you should get your money back, but you will lose your account (as you should) But atleast you will save some money. They do this exact thing in my business where i work.

If i buy WoW today i won’t have to pay what someone that bought every expansion on release would have to pay. If i bought a brand new computer today, mark my words within 3 months the price will have gone down, that does NOT mean i will get my money that i supposedly “lost” back.

I do think however within 30 days it’s reasonable to get your money back, so you can buy hot, but you will lose your account. Resonable and fair.

But to believe that you will get back money from 3 years ago, you are living in a dreamworld and have little to no experience. And to believe that somehow just because you bought the game 3 years ago, you wil get the expansion for free.

I mean what’s going on here? WoW has sub fee’s and still people buy their expansion and there’s not any bs over there, yet in Gw2 a game you can play how much you want for a reasonable price it get’s torn to pieces?

Something is wrong here.

It is the FACT that I bought the game about a month ago, I bought it in preparation for HoT release.

Can you link us your /age (type that inside the game) and then push the print screen bottun to see the whole image (with your character) ?

If you are referring to me you obviously didn’t read my comment properly, I paid full price a month and a half before the ‘expansion’ came out.

I bought the game on the 1st of May and have played around 2h per day average, picking at my hours does not justify your point at all and doesn’t change the FAQ edit problem it caused for me and many others.

OMG! This is not a logic! You bought the game 3 years ago and you are playing (or could have) since then, you have experienced holiday events, living world and new content (Karka, Dry Top Silverwastes etc). You unlock personal story for free and had new pvp maps and other changes.
Don’t compare what you got back then with what you can get now! The price for an expansion like that is indeed too high and unfair, but the comparison it is not valid! And new players will get core game for free but they will have to pay the living story and also they will have to start from scratch!

Why would you even pay 60$ for the base game? You can get the base game for 20$

You won’t have that option when HoT goes live. Early adopters will end up paying about $100 for the same content that the new players get for $50.

If i buy WoW today i won’t have to pay what someone that bought every expansion on release would have to pay. If i bought a brand new computer today, mark my words within 3 months the price will have gone down, that does NOT mean i will get my money that i supposedly “lost” back.

I do think however within 30 days it’s reasonable to get your money back, so you can buy hot, but you will lose your account. Resonable and fair.

But to believe that you will get back money from 3 years ago, you are living in a dreamworld and have little to no experience. And to believe that somehow just because you bought the game 3 years ago, you wil get the expansion for free.

I mean what’s going on here? WoW has sub fee’s and still people buy their expansion and there’s not any bs over there, yet in Gw2 a game you can play how much you want for a reasonable price it get’s torn to pieces?

Something is wrong here.

GW2’s original model attracted us cheap curmudgeonly kittens.
it’s not our fault we’re kittens and penny pinchers; it’s theirs for being so out of touch with their community.

Yep. And if you get mad, they’ll call you “entitled!”

You sound entitled.

I think that advertising the core game using HoT for months, all while knowing that it would be bundled with the expansion is unethical and borderline illegal advertising, and I’m entitled? Anyone who purchased the game recently has every right to be mad.

I’m sorry do you have some sort of proof that they knew all along it would be bundled with HoT? You may not be entitled, but there’s no way you could be sure of this, so you are maligning the company based on nothing more than a personal opinion. Anyone who purchased the game has the right to be mad. They don’t have the right to make stuff up, however.

You could get refunded if you bought the game within one month. Dev will upgrade your account to HoT version without losing progression.

Not what I heard. My understanding is that you lose everything in the process of that refund, including accrued gems and character slots. Then you have to start from scratch with a fresh account and five blank toon slots.

Not according to the reply I received from support when inquiring about this matter:

“Additionally if you wish to repurchase the game or the expansion at a later time, you will be able to add the code to your account and pick up where you last left off so that you may not loose(sic) your progress.”

This is good to hear!

I was logged in (idle for quite a bit) for ~190 hours between 1st of May and 16th of June, I haven’t gone on to actually play since, a couple of daily reward collects here and there, that’s all.

It would be really nice for any compensation possible from Anet for the FAQ edit.

I don’t want money back that I spent three years ago! I want a feeling that I am getting value for my money. Since I don’t feel that I am, I will not be purchasing HoT until I do. In order for that to happen, something will have to change. I’m not sure exactly what, but this is where I stand.

Good don’t purchase it. I’m sure your attitude is shared by a percentage of people but I’m not convinced it’s a big enough percentage to make a difference. But I’m happy with you not purchasing it. Doesn’t stop me from feeling you’re completely unreasonable.
