Why would you want wings in GW if they don't serve any purpose?

Funny, I was just wondering the same damn thing.

 kalay say ty to the pressure from ebgame style store wich have to live in the mall not online

The only thing that would surprise me with game companies is if they charged you to participate in beta's, kinda like COSTCO sucking people into shopping by charging them for a "membership". Funny thing is, I think people would pay.

Omg, 5 pages of abuse and flaming.

Can't say I'm surprised - good grief.

Seems to me that it is a normal marketing ploy to sell unsold boxes so they don't get stuck with them having paid fotr there manufacture. If a product isn't moving (in this case because so many opt for DL) then it is perfectly reasonable to offer an incentive to buy said boxes. To make this FAIR, on those who have already purchased other types of copy, they just put it in as a reward for existing customers with a side effect of maybe generating some Guild Wars action.

 

Good marketing move by NCSoft and I fail to see anything unethical or even morally wrong with this

 

Cut these out and stick them to your monitor when playing GWs...problem solved

/hands OP a tissue

HAHA!

 It's NCsoft... I expect no less.

 

(Edit) btw the company has already made a few idiotic decisions, and I can pretty much assure you that this is just the beginning of a long road downhill.

I can pretty much assure you that no one cares what you can "pretty much assure" us of, unless you can assure us that you're sure that you know what you're talking about.

Which I don't think you do...

 ?

Let me get this right... you are upset because  some people who order Aion get some ornamental wings in Guild Wars? Because it's "unfair"?

Wow.

Well, each to his own.

I consider massive economic inequality on a global scale unfair. I consider it unfair that Americans have been the world's biggest polluters, but the rest of the world has to live with the consequences. I consider it unfair that rich bankers get a multi-billion bailout and then swim in yet another year of record bonuses, while Americans are opposing the extension of healthcare to the poor.

But some purely cosmetic promo wings in some MMO past its sell-by date? Give me a break.

Which also made me wonder why even get angry over that.

It's just an added extra for the CE, you don't lose anything, much less it becomes "unfair".

@ OP

Horrible launch? I don't remember seeing a few classes cut off a few weeks before release, I don't remember reading "DX 10 compatible" in their box, I don't remember we suddenly discovering there will be NC Coins to purchase the cool stuff with.

They listened when we told patching speeds were too low and they promissed an improved DL system, possibly P2P. We will be able to patch the game weeks before release (in fact for Open Beta you'll already get the 1.5 patch). They've been tweaking the servers for the last 6 closed betas, and there will also be the open beta with a much larger player base to tweak them. The game is solid, running in the East for almost an year. 

i must point out the Aion limited collectors edition is available in digital download form....

People actually play guildwars?
