I'm sure the headstart access for pre-purchasers was a way for them to deal with that quietly. At least you didn't pay anything extra. Some of these people though, posting on their FB page, twitter, and other places are just jerks feeling like their so entitled to compensation... I'm starting to get pissed off as well. 2h30 of the game not letting me log on approx now. And this IS launch. It's a 3 day headstart because of pre-purchase, but it's still a launch. We are pretty much their guinea pigs for their servers it seems, which I don't consider a nice reward for pre-purchasing. EDIT : And I'm not asking for compensation, just stable servers that I can play on. They even brought down the wiki and Guild Wars 1. | ||

I'm not bashing ArenaNet, but compensation would be nice and I don't see any reason NOT to do it from a business standpoint, and it just seems like the right thing to do. | ||

Blizzard did a lot of work in both diablo and Wow and released content near GW2 launch. I really liked that "75% OFF World of Warcraft – This Week Only" they did | ||

The point is that the headstart wasn't something you paid extra for. The other point is no matter how well prepared you are to release your game that has a major amount of popularity, it will find a way to screw your plans over. Maybe they will, maybe they won't but the other thing is that they have these people working around the clock so people like you can play the game in the first place. Just consider what these people are doing in their own time dealing with a bunch of comments like this as they try to bring up something they've worked on for years to the same people who are giving them crap for it. | ||
