Guild Wars 2

Ayrilana.1396:

Once again, I strongly suggest you re-read those articles. It’s not the same situation as I have already stated. It’s even more surprising as you linked an article that pretty much showed what the issue was. There was exclusive content included in the collector’s edition which actually required players to purchase the base game again in order to get. The base game was actually factored into the price of that collector’s edition. This is not the same with GW2 as the core game is not even part of the HoT price.

of course not the same
not in my book, it’s worse

This is expansion, not just some content that most people will/can ignore and still having same experience to whoever bought that content.
How is that good for us?

Ayrilana.1396:

You’re not buying an extra copy of the game. It’s a free bonus when the key is applied to a new account. Many companies provide bonuses specifically to new accounts or customers. It’s nothing new. You also should read the article more closely as the situation that occurred for Destiny is different than what’s occurred for GW2.

I’ve already mention that
what so new about this? well this is new because no one in their right mind would do something like this and get free pass, not even bungie

The expansion included core game and there’s no other way to get it, period.
you don’t need to sugarcoat this, you can spin the word all you like.

it doesn’t matter which version is free according to each individual
is the base game free or the expansion the point is the pack cost the same for new and old player who already bought the game the same case about similar like destiny was, and the good part about destiny they admit, yes they admit it was A%%hat decision

Their response is exactly like you
and you know what, here comes his response later

However, most of you don’t know me.

Reading my interview with Eurogamer and imagining it came from some random developer of a game I love – that random developer looks like an A%%hat.

But that A%%hat was me – and those words rightfully anger you.

I’m sorry

and nope, I’m not making this up

So… here we are getting what Destiny would do but in the end retract it.

I don’t see how this need to be defended.
Yes they choose this way

but it doesn’t mean it’s okay.

just give us separate option to purchase DLC, simple
but ofcourse, I don’t see that or at least they are not interested to do that.

I’m actually surprised they would go this far to do this after far too long.

The expansion included core game and there’s no other way to get it, period.
you don’t need to sugarcoat this, you can spin the word all you like.

it is a fact that we have to buy extra base copy to get the expansion pack.
and to whoever already bought the game before doesn’t need it.

again, why not just add the option, -$10/20 less.
everyone happy.
