Ignoring the drops (which is just luck) and autoloot (bug?)…I also got the digital deluxe (I purchased with gems after already starting to play in the head start) and have the Mistfire wolf skill grayed out…
Sadly, I already made all my characters (in order to get the names I wanted) so if what you’re saying is true about characters created AFTER the deluxe upgrade being able to use it…well I’m screwed out of the mistfire wolf on all of them then. I had send an in-game support ticket about it shortly after and never got a response.
