It does not matter how many uses your original item now has after the patch. What matters is that the second item is now useless. You paid for a now useless item.
By the same logic, can I expect a full refund of all the money I spent on Guild Wars 1 when they finally close the servers down? Because, y’know, that Prophecies box and all those expansion discs are useless. I paid for a now useless item.
THIS
NOT THAT. One MMO shutdown is something we know it is going to happen the moment we buy it, the big majority when get the sequels after some time it shutdowns.
We’re talking about this MMO that is not under shutdown, it is changing and limiting Cash-Paid Items (Clothes), the items that are only gold-paid do not require refunds, doesn’t change the fact it damages the people who have put time and effort to get their things done, but when it’s about Gem Currency paid stuff being converted and limited to tonics? I won’t…. simply accept it.
Yes That! This is an MMO…. MMO’s change. That is a fact. We play an MMO with the understanding that the developer has a right to change any aspect of it they feel like changing at any time, and that doesn’t entitle any of the players… to anything.
No… the people that bought Lultiple copies of an item…are not entitled to anything.
When they log onto gw2. they understand that Anet has the right to change any aspect of the game they feel like changing, anytime they feel like changing it.
if a player has a hard time Understanding that, that is not Anet’s problem, and it is not Anet’s responsibility to shoulder that players burden that derives from his hurt feelings.
When i spent real cash to buy over 3k that i spent on Clothes, i spent because they were dye-able and i could mix visuals, i will not accept this change, this wasn’t items it dropped me while playing. ANet can change their own game, they have that right, as we have the right to get what we paid for, this remembers me those F2P game companies that decide to make changes that causes loss to their players and don’t care about, just because they can.
I really, really, really, don’t want ANet to be one of those companies.
what you chose to do is what you chose to do, that doesn’t mean that that ties Anet’s hands behind their back to continue providing what you paid for, no one FORCED you to pay real world Money. You also agreed that Anet can change any aspect of their game anytime they wished and that you agreed to it,….every time you log on. If suddenly you dislike it, you are not entitled to anything. You can uninstall the game. That is what you can do. but DEMAND refunds?
No you don’t have that right.
I will quote dcjester on this aspect:
“This is a virtual goods which, while nothing tangible, had no warning at all that it would be made useless in a sweeping change to a core piece of the game at large. At the time it was purchased, it was never mentioned that the item could go to a solid set of unmixable items when presented as mix and match upon release. In some way, it can almost, ALMOST, be seen as a bait and switch. Its loose and dirty in that ideal, but it could be thought of that way.”
If they have that right, they never warned me they had the right to make all the changes they wish to items in the Gem Store we already paid for. I wonder what would you say if you were one of the players who spent real money on many things that will now suffer changes for the worse.
you can quote him. but he is Not an authority. I understand you agree with him, but…
Just because you both agree doesn’t make either of you right.
the virtual goods you purchased are in Anet’s game. Anet can sell it ONE day one way, and then totally change How they sell it the next. it’s in the ToS.
You agree to this everytime you log in. Whether you likr it or not. I Understand it upsets you. but hey..that’s life.
Will Anet refund you for your supposed claimed losses? ( you lost Nothing by the way, that you do not see this is because you are part of a group of people that feel entitled to things you are not entitled to, simply because your feelings are hurt.)
They might,…. But only because they feel like doing it. Not because it is owed to anyone. … Not because anyone is entitled to it.
