Free Macaw Wings Are Not Available to All Players

[Eddy.7051]

The promotion for these wings does not seem to be available to players who are F2P or to players who only purchased the core game. But the blog post does not mention that only players with the expansions unlocked are eligible for this promotion.

It's not expansions, it's having the Gliding Mastery available to unlock.  So, it's one expansion, Heart of Thorns (and maybe End of Dragons). 

Perhaps, they will offer just the Backpack.  🤷‍♂️

I do not have a free account but afaik there were always limitations with the gemstore for free accounts. I assume this is one of those limitations.

Yes that explains half of what the OP is talking about the other are paid core accounts that should not have limitations on them.

They can apparently get them from black lion chests since everyone can use the ackpack so why not from this promotion.

Seems that an event that is supposed to promote "inclusion", excluded you.
