Jakes.2706 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 So I tried GW2 free to play, really enjoyed the game, and thought, let me try the first expansion before I buy the complete bundle just to be sure I'm invested and want to continue playing. I bought the first expansion and continued playing. NOW, I wanted to buy the complete collection that included End of Dragons and Living word, but I can't do that as Steam decided I could only buy it as a gift for someone else. Like all other games, they normally discount what you already have in your library, and you pay the balance to upgrade to the full bundle. This is not the case here. I'm just locked out of buying the complete collection. With all other purchases I've made over the years, you can still buy a collection bundle, but items in that bundle that's already in your library just get discounted. Will this be fixed, or are you deliberately not allowing us this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Instead of spending $70 (Bundle minus PoF + HoT), just buy End of Dragons for $30 and buy the Gems to purchase Seasons of Living World. You don't have to buy them all at once, and you can use in-game Gold(to Gems) to purchase Episodes/Seasons, as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakes.2706 Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 So in my Steam, store I can pay in my local currency ZAR. Would have been a great deal for me, but yes I do know I can buy it with Gems, if that's my only option at the end of the day I guess thats all I can do. Love the game and want to play. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Knowledge Base: For issues pertaining to account management, access and game, gem, or other purchases made through the Steam store or Steam wallet, please contact Steam support for assistance. Not sure why the ArenaNet CS Team didn't direct you to Steam Support. Though, if it has been more than 30 days since your purchase, you may get the same answer.

Anet don't really have much control over how the Steam Store operates and how their sales work. Put a support ticket in with Steam and ask them and see how that goes.
