I bought the CE, I'd like the Heroic items

#1 - Aug. 23, 2013, 2:12 a.m.

I pre-purchased the fancy-dancy Collector’s Edition with the IRL bonus items etc. Paid a pretty penny for it. I’ve been playing since early release and I’ve spent 1900 hours and at least $100 on the game, blah blah normal entitlement stuff.

So cue my jealousy upon seeing that the Heroic edition comes with an 18 slot bag, free gem store armour, and a bunch of boosters! I want those things!

Are we going to be getting them? Because I will honestly feel a bit underappreciated if we don’t. And I know I’m not the only one who reeeeaaally wants them.

I asked about this today at a Business Team meeting. Those who purchased the Collector’s Edition are valued customers, for sure! But remember, there were a lot of goodies in that box, and it’s not customary, even if necessarily good business, to continue to give free items for a purchase made a year ago. I can’t think of any other business that would do that, that would say “I see you purchased a mixer a year ago. We’ve developed a handy new accessory and we’re sending it to you for free.”

And by the way, I’m proud to say that at the time it was released, our CE was hailed as “the best in the industry” with having so many nice in-game and physical features.

Sure, it’d be nice to continue to get free stuff for a purchase made in the past. I could see why you would want to get these things for free, but I hope you understand why that isn’t going to happen. Keep in mind that the items are available in the Gem Store or on the Trading Post, so you can get them for in-game gems, in any case I can think of.
