btw, im going to make “hot phrase” a new hot phrase. and thats only because of sheer irony.

I don’t think that’s how irony works. =P

yes it is, it would be ironic that “hot phrase” is the new hot phrase because everyone is using hot phrases these days and i would be using the “hot phrase” hot phrase to explain to people when they are using hot phrases. i think what you missed was my sarcasm.

OP, please stop misrepresenting what bait and switch laws are. It’s really kind of unsettling that it’s becoming the new ‘hot phrase’ amongst this community when you don’t really seem to understand what it means.

Bait and switch is when you offer something for a discount and then don’t have the actual product you are advertising and have a substitute at a HIGHER price. Thus because people came for the sale and they have spent their time, they will buy the higher priced object. That is fraud because it is their INTENT not to have the lower priced item that they advertised.

What you are referring to is what is called FALSE ADVERTISING. Advertising a product that does not have the features that are advertised. However, again, whether or not this is true in this case is really hard to tell because a lot of it is up to translation.

So if you’re going to use defamation towards Arenanet, use the right term please.

Thank you. i have so much to say to people like this but i just cant do it nicely.

bait and switch is also another term for “we we’re lying to you”.

i agree with all of this. except for the fact that ive already bought the game so ive already given them 100% support whether i like it or not.
