Dear NCsoft. Here is a saying that may be very helpful in the future.
“you can shear a sheep many times, but can only skin him once.”
After reading many sites, threads and posts (forums and in-game about ’ween event), I doubt that you will be doing either(again) unless change(s) happen.
-If I am mistaken and anet has the say, well…shame on them.
thanks.
I know I said last post and all of that but I feel I need to address this question:
“If you knew that then how did they “get” you?”
When you make the purchase, it is a simple and painless one. It simply asks “do you want to purchase this unlock” or something along those lines. you confirm the purchase and, it’s that simple. What the system doesn’t inform you upon purchase is that the unlock can and will be lost if one so chooses to delete a character that the purchase was made on. it’s just a simple one way transaction lacking information during the purchase process.
Meaning, you will not know that you will lose it until character deletion. Hence my “money grab” comment. The system will take those gems sure enough, but I doubt it would give them back as quick.
Last post. Because I know how people will try to reason it as my “fault”
I KNEW it would destroy the unlocks. re-read. again and again.
Just like to say this will most likely be my first, last and only post on these particular forums. I am/was a long time fan, logging 6k+ hours in GW1 and 300+ hours in GW2.
I have been in the anet family for quite some time now, and I can see where GW2’s heart and soul is going to be.
I made my “Main” and any MMO’er knows you will always be starving for storage space, so accordingly, I made my alts better known as mules. I’m not affraid to dump some money back into the family after they have given me so many hours of entertainment….
moving on.
I had bought some individual storage space for one of the alts. I deleted that alt because, well just because I FELT like it.
Here is the jist of it. I now know that the game is purely about the GEMS and their SALES. How did I come to this conclusion? Individual storage purchased via gems is considered “unlocks”. You delete a character and you lose those unlocks.
As stated I am not afraid to throw some money at the anet family, but I can see that ncsoft is pushing the buttons from here on out. I know if it were up to you Anet, you’d either refund the gems, bind the unlocks to that slot….or just something other than throw the money down the toilet.
I have put some money back towards what I’d like to hope ANETS’ pockets. It is going to start to become more clear over time that you guys did a great job and will continue to do a great job but the Trading Post/Gems creators are what this game is really about.
With that said, I’ve spent all that I will on this game for the sole reason of having a feeling that it is a pure, straight up money grab.
-Thanks
