In-game effort should reward you with an item. But what if I had just gotten back from a tour in Iraq? I wasn't able to pre-order.

I'd be more worried about making sure I got my college education funding and benefits from the VA, spending time with friends and family, enjoying the sights and sounds of home. Worrying about whether or not I got a purple unicorn to ride around in a video game is kind of a who cares type moment.

You just got back from Iraq and you are worried about pre-ordering? 

Errmm... I ummm.... uhhhh

If it's something that anyone can get with real money, then no. If it's received in another way then more than likely, yes.

So you try and invalidate a member of the armed forces instead of actually commenting on what he said? Even though at the end of the day it's a trivial matter, I do find it annoying as well when there are things I can't get in game. Like the person you are trying to invalidate I truly feel everything should be available through progress in game, not how much money you spend outside of the game or what country you live in.

Not gonna tow the line here.  Yes, I kinda agree and disagree with the OP.  If people want to pay for it that is their thing, but I can understand why people get put off a game because someone else has bought all the pretty aesthetic shit.  To dismiss this as an issue instantly is a little weak, it is an issue for some people. 

 Is that the same kind of people who follow what paris hilton and kim kardashian are doing?  IF so, no loss.  There is always going to be someone with something I will never have.  Envy and Jealousy are bad traits to have.

Perhaps it's just my persona, but I don't like it when I see items that I cannot possibly get. I don't "need" the item or anything, but I feel like there is a part of the game that is missing. I have fun collecting items. I don't know why.

I simply believe that all in-game items should be earned and obtain in the game.

 So it's a simple entitlement issue.  Curious as to why you would not mention this in the OP.

In most cases the items coming from CE/pre-orders/special events ARE obtaineble in game, just not the same models.

Oh noes someone has a different looking mount, vanity pet or different collor crystal.

Hi all!

Does it ever bother you to see someone using an item that you cannot get due to the following:

• Convention Items: In-game items given to people who attended a convention, e.g., Blizzcon, Warhammer Tournament, etc.
• Cross-Promotion Items: In-game item give to people who purchased other games from the same company, e.g., Purchasing Red Alert III's Collector's Edition will grant your Warhammer Character a rare hat that will turn you into a bear.
• Founder's Pack Rewards: In-game items for purchasing a variety of Founder Packs (usually $25-$500-$1,000).
• Pre-Order Rewards: In-game capes, mounts, or items for pre-ordering the game (sometimes different reward per vendor).
• Collector's Edition Items: In-game item for purchasing a Collector's Edition, e.g., SWTOR's $150.00 CE granting access to a CE store, pets, etc.
• Contests: In-game items that are won via drawing or screenshot contest etc.
• 3rd-Party Websites: Joining the developer's facebook page before launch date will give you an in-game item code etc.

Not in the least.

I'd be lying if I sad I have never been jealous of what someone else got in a game. And those who deny it are in the closet about such things and need help.

Believe it or not, there are plenty of people out there who don't care what you or anyone else has. It's not a personal thing, they just don't care and are happy with what they do have.

If people want to get upset about not having things others have, well people have been doing that since Crunch broke Crull's nose and took his cave.

I think you should take that all powerful microscope and turn it the other way.

If you had just come back from Iraq some moronic tchotchkee in game wouldn't mean jack squat to you.

For crying out loud. People took this example too literal and completely missed the point.

I've gotten things from CE, DE's, and promotions, to be honest, I have found the stuff pretty (very) useless and it always sits in my bank collecting "dust", or tossed out, so no, not at all.
