Palador.2170 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Well, I've got my request for a refund in. Let's see how it goes.To be honest, I really doubt they'll do the right thing. Surprise me, ANet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 "Blatant scam"? I think that's a bit harsh without proof otherwise. Still, I agree it looked bad and simply removing it from the TP banner was not a very slick move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sera.2146 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 probably was a bit harsh yes. but now i have to ask why did they silently freeze the timestamps of this thread so that its not being bumped with every post made? that only makes them look even worse. ¬_¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josa.5067 Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 I don't really see any reason why they would even freeze the timestamps. The discussion would have died at some point anyway, that always happens. If this is intentional, it's just going to start an entirely new discussion, and it's going to make them look even worse.

Warwick.6325 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I'm so dissapointed towards Anet right now... I was hoping for the best with the new saga about charr, and so far, it was great, but now this? I feel like there are some devs who hates the charr working in their company.

Warwick.6325 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 That's hilarious! Covering up their mess as they could will take them more work than simply scaling the chair towards charr proportions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty.6219 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 And it's so incredibly lazy and cynical that they just changed the banner instead of listening to the charr player base community and reach a solution for the chair.No.The just changed the banner picture. UGH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerfworthy.9618 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 It's sad that my Sylvari looks so much better in the chair than my Charr, lol. I still like the chair but they really need to scale it up for Charr players. After all, it's a Charr-style item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josa.5067 Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 Now it's suddenly fixed. Was it a bug or not? We will never know...Edit: Talking about the timestamps, not the chair or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo Chocolate.5870 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I thought the false advertising was pretty terrible, but describing the banner update as a "bug fix" somehow feels even worse to me. It seems very disingenuous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't a bug. And honestly, even if other races looked small on a Charr chair, that would have been accurate to your lore, your world, and the people who have chosen to play Charr and pay for race-themed items like this one. You should recall the item, scale it correctly for Charr, and release it again with a short apology for any confusion. Even if you meant to release the chair this small, it was still not the right thing to do.Don't act like the picture was the mistake; I say this as someone who wants to buy stuff from you.This ^ x100Ive been looking so forward to a charr culture themed chair ever since the asura one came out some time ago.My charrMy bodyMy credit cardMy paypal account....All of the above were ready.... ????

Dalec.9853 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 ArenaNet only bother making any of the gem store items with humans in mind, outfits, chairs, it's pretty much luck if it will look fine with other races - but the false advertising is just a new step in awful from them on that issue.(I wrote something about the timestamp "bug", but it was removed by the mod) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Fear.1624 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 A funnier fix would have been to combine it with a shrink tonic, but for charr only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
