Black Lion Instant Level 80 Ticket not on gemstore for Core accounts?

[Vegeta.2563]

Checked on one of my alt accounts, and the "Black Lion Instant Level 80 Ticket" is not visible to my core account (yes it's vanilla with a serial, not free to play).

Yet it shows on my main account that has HoT and PoF?

Do you have an empty Shared Inventory Slot on that account?

Yep, but that shouldn't prevent it from appearing on the gemstore.

[Linken.6345]

it do since it will be put in a unused shared inventory slot.

[Inculpatus cedo.9234]

The lack of an empty Shared Inventory Slot might prevent its acquisition and/or appearance, since it is required.

This is most unfortunate.

OP, I also have another paid/core GW2 account and this item is also missing from the Gem store on this secondary account. Note: my secondary account could actually use this item. (My only toon on this account is just level 38 and has very few Tomes of Knowledge.)

With the above said, my main account that has absolutely no need of such an item (currently got about 20 stacks of Tomes per gw2effeciency, and I've burned some stacks over the years), IS seeing this item in the Gem store. Also, the Black Lion Instant 80 Ticket can't be gifted. So I can't even buy it on my main account and gift it to my secondary account.

ANET, you might want to recode how this item is seen and bought. You're missing out on selling opportunities here.

[Inculpatus cedo.9234]

Again, have you an empty Shared Inventory Slot on the accounts that do not have the L80 Boost on offer? The reason it would not show up for purchase may be to avoid the inevitable concerns about purchasing an item that could not be used (without further purchases).

[Krypto.2069]

Inculpatus, I get what you're saying. And thanks for the insight. But if that's the inhibiting factor, then having this particular item coded that way, keeps "some" accounts that could actually benefit from purchasing an item such as this from actually doing so.

If I'm Anet, I'm looking at this and seeing if there's a way to capture this segment of the "would/could be buying a Lvl 80 Boost ticket" audience. The way it's setup right now, most people (potentially newer customers) with a paid/core account wouldn't even have known that the Lvl 80 boost ticket was in the Gem store and on sale. Oh well.

I don't know; you could contact the CS Team and ask.

Good luck.
