What are you talking about?

Hey, So i've already made a ticket for this but because i haven't gotten a reply yet and this is kinda frustrating me i decided to make this post and see if anybody has ia solution. So i'm trying to buy the EoD Deluxe expansion with either my debit card through my bank or with paypal. I have tried multiple times to buy it with my debit card through my bank but the payment never goes through even though i end up on gw2 page that says the order is made and that there's a serial number below but there is no number to be found. After that i decided to use paypal which i usually use. When i try to pay with paypal, it asks me to connect a credit card to paypal before i can pay with the money that's already on my paypal. I don't have a credit card which means i'm stuck wondering how i can buy this expansion. I understand that sometime ago they change some of their payment methods but how can it be this difficult to buy the expansion? If i was trying to buy gems i would have quit ages ago and save myself this hastle. I'm eu btw and i wonder if anyone recognises this problem and ha sa solution while i wait for support to reply to my ticket? Thx in advance.

Hey can other people confirm that everyone got the skin now? I just checkd and i received two mails. One with just bonfire and other with bonfire and the skin. I'm almost positive that I waited to log in and should not get the skin based on the timeframe.

Holy Crap I got the skin and I'm pretty sure i waited to log in like the mostof us. Did they change the reward to everyone?

Yep, I believe people would be much less bitter (me included, tbh) if the two compensation were a bit closer in value. Or if the smaller one was good for more than taking up inventory space.But! I have finally come up with a way to use the bonfire. I'll place it in front of the BLTC headquarters in Lion's Arch to show Evon Gnashblade my burning passion :D Honestly I'm thinking to just delete the bonfire to make my point. :D Not that anet or anyone would care but we all have ourown way to cope I guess.

So to me the cause of the discussion is the gap between the two compensations is disproportional to the degree both parties were affected. A bonfire and a free mount skin is like to give one a cracker and the other a 3 layered chocolate cake. The Guy with the cracker is gonna look at his cracker and say: 'Sure, he is affected more then me but not that much more'. In my opnion they should have either given a bonfire and the other partie a little better crappy useless reward around 500 gems or so. Or they should have given the free mount skin and the other party a glider skin, outfit skin or weapon skin,... Something that's closer to a mountskin in value. Second issue I see here is that you're incentivising the wrong behaviour. Next time people will flood the servers making Anet job more difficult I imagine. Also the argument that players were unaware doesn't hold much weight to me. The minute i logged in people were talking about it in my guild and in map chat. Unless you were on a dead map you had to be made aware of it. And a stronger argument is that you logged in in different area then you logged off last time, your level changed, you lost gold, items were gone. How can you not notice this? You have to be braindead or a really younng child that doesn't know any better. Also the people who abused this situation to duplicate items are being rewarded by this. You're encouraging toxic behavior this way. What's next? Giving rewards to people who idle in pvp? To end this i like to say that myself, I was happy how Anet dealt with the rollback untill now. They were late to notice the problem but when they did, they took swift and effective action. I didn't expect any rewards to be honest and i didn't feel salty at all. Anet shot themselves in the foot by disproportionally compensating both parties. Either you don't give compensation at all or you give it out proportionally which did not happen here and so I understand the saltyness.
