Gaile, what’s happening to peeps that bought the deluxe or ultimate because it had the extra slot ?
There was anothor post, i saw on dev tracker that said they will get a slot also, so I guess in turn they get two slots.
I don’t want 2 slots, and I may not have bought the version I did if there was a slot going with the basic version.
People who spent money already could feel misled into paying more now ?
If you spent an extra $25 or $50 just for something you could have already purchased for, what, $8 worth of gems . . . I’m disinclined to feel sympathy.
Regardless, ANet’s 30-day refund policy should cover this, should it not?
(Edited: Really? The filter doesn’t like the letter “T” ever directly preceding the gender-neutral pronoun? Ugh.)

Hooray! As someone who bought the core game after 23 Jan b/c of the old FAQ, this is really all I was looking for. I will now happily plunk down for the Ultimate Edition, b/c I love this game (just had a bit of an issue w/ the marketing team, or whoever writes the FAQ).
Question, Gaile (if you see this in the flood of responses):
As a post-January/pre-July buyer, is it safe to pre-purchase now & trust the refund to happen, or should I wait until the refund system is in place before buying HoT?
(NB: “I have no idea we haven’t built the system yet” is a perfectly acceptable answer for now.)
Whoa, fair question and I’m really not wanting to give you the wrong info. If you’re going to seek a refund, would you kindly click Support at the top of the page and talk with a CS agent about it? They are happy to help you with information or with the process!
I appreciate your candor. Thanks!

Veteran Player Option
-Requires you to already own Guild Wars 2
-includes the Title, BETA Access and HoT expansion on release… AND…
-1 Character slot
-1 Bank Slot upgrade (for all that new loot you’re about to get)
I would happily give ANet $50 right now this instant for that.
HoT Price Feedback + Base game included [merged]

“Q: Do I have to own Guild Wars 2 to play the expansion?
A: Yes. Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns is an expansion to Guild Wars 2 and not a stand-alone campaign, and therefore it requires the base game to play.”I’ll admit that there is nothing in the hard, 100% strict interpretation of these words that explicitly refutes the idea that HoT and the base game could be bought together, but when stuff like this is posted and all your HoT announcements are timed with a sale of the base game?
I’m not even going to get into whether $50 is “worth it” or whatever, but any way you look at it this is pretty dirty marketing ANet.
Honestly, this is my chief complaint. I bought this game back in February, having interpreted that exact statement from ANet to mean that the core game wouldn’t be included in HoT. I figured, great, I’ll have some time to learn the game, level a guy up, then pay a nominal fee (I was expecting like $30ish) for the expansion.
Had the FAQ read “Yes, but Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns includes the Guild Wars 2 core game”, as it does now, I simply would have waited for HoT’s release.
I don’t like presuming motive, but it does feel…cheap, at least…and it certainly doesn’t make me happy I bought it a few months ago.
