Content purchased through Steam is Not compatable with a Standalone GW2 account (and Visa versa)

if you own a GW2 account made through Guildwars2.com you will need to buy the Expansions through the website store (https://buy.guildwars2.com/en-gb)

[Schimmi.6872]

Anet and Steam accounts aren't compatible, so the older expansions are still on the anet account and the one you bought on steam is linked to your Steam account. Expansions, Gems etc. bought on steam can only be used for steam accounts, while everything bought outside of steam (from anet or retailers) can only be used for anet accounts.

You can access your anet account by using the original launcher, or adding "-provider Portal" in the launch options on steam. You should then also try to return the steam purchase as you can't use it for your original account.
