I reckon Anet should like…come up with a bundle product by this stage for those who are purchasing GW2 now, like paying only 1.50USD per chapterif you buy them all in bulk together with the base game.
Anyway, I always think of life in terms of opportunity costs, if I picked RL stuff over game stuff and vice versa, there will always be something I’ll be missing out. For example I decided to not join on a dance night with a couple of colleagues cos I prefer to run triple trouble, I could be missing out on meeting someone new there. Or if I did choose to go for the dance, I could’ve had a precursor drop from wurm chest.
Also, if I had felt that my real life then was so much important than logging in for a few secs for a rather insignificant piece of content, then honestly it would not bother me if others did get the promo but I didn’t.
On a side, I think people need to realize that they’re not the only ones who has a life outside of games, or has 10+ hours workshifts, can get the occasional burnout from games.
