False Advertising from ANET Re: Ultimate Package

[Rook.1934]

I bought the Ultimate End of Dragons Package.  It clearly says I get a Max Level Boost AND a Shared Inventory Slot.

What we actually get is a Max Level Boost that turns into a Shared Inventory Slot when used.

So I do not have both as promised.  I feel a little cheated here.

I want my shared slot and I want to put the boost in the bank for when I want to use it, which is not now.

 

Please FIX this

Unfortunately, the nature of the level 80 boost is that it comes bundled with the slot itself. I believe that is how it has worked in the past with the HoT and PoF expansions as well.

 

But definitely, it should say "Shared Inventory Slot (bundled with the level 80 boost)" and clearly define that the boost must be consumed to free up the slot.

I had my shared slots maxed (24), one of them filled with level 80 boost from the previous xpac. I did receive a new empty slot above the limit, so no. 25.

 

If you didn't have any slots before, or you've had some, the one with level 80 boost is the additional one. Otherwise it would have been 2 shared slots in the package.

Math adds up 😅

So, wait. The boost is not an item that can be removed from the slot? I has to be used from there?

Yes.  Whether 'free' or purchased, they can only be acquired by having a Shared Inventory Slot to reside in; and only can be removed from a Shared Inventory Slot by use. 

Thus, it is not a 'bundle' per se, but two items (and one that requires the other for acquisition).

Thanks. Good to know. When I get the expansion I'll have no immediate use for the boost, so I guess I won't count on having a shared slot open any time soon.

Do be aware, L80 Boosts do stack in one Shared Inventory Slot, should you acquire another at some time.

(I have 3 L80 Boosts stacked in my Shared Inventory Slot.)

No. You have to understand why the level 80 booster in the first place. It is there for anyone to experience any class at level 80 and chose if they like the gameplay. It is a special functionality within the game. ANet has NOT done any false advertising. This is the first time I see someone make a claim like this over the last so many years.
