Why is it that only the people who bought the game from January 23rd – June 16th of 2015 get to avoid paying for the core game? Of all the people who should be able to avoid paying for the core game, it should be those that have been with the game since year one. To allow the greenest players, so far, a refund of Core GW2 but NOT the veterans is ridiculous.To further clarify, I’m all for getting new players to come to the game, this isn’t an attack on that strategy at all. I just find that a new character slot (worth about 10$) does not equal AT ALL the approximately 40-50$ Core game.
Please reconsider the offers you literally just made, because they’re kind of ridiculous. If anything, the veterans should be getting the refund for the Core game AND the extra character slot, regardless of which prepurchase they choose. If nothing else, give us the equivalent of that 50$ core in Gems with the Character Slot. That isn’t favoritism, it’s rewarding loyal players for their dedication to the game.
