Just wondering if anyone out there says "Dang I need to preorder to get that rock garden!". I get doing a preorder because you know you are getting the expansion anyway or you want beta access but for a housing item? Anyone out there just "have to" have that?
The preorder "bonus" isn't there as an incentive; it's there as an anchor for the purchase. It exists, you received something for money paid. It moves the transaction from the future into the present. Legal/commercial thing.
I used to pre-order when pre-ordering got you most of what is collector edition today (and collector edition looked like premium). Now that the preorder bonus is beta access, not so much.
I preordered the collectors edition this year where I typically do not. I can say I did not do it because of the items. It’s nice to have a new mount etc , but the real reason I did it was because I wanted to support the development of this game. I don’t want live to slow down or stop altogether so I gave them $120 for that reason. my alts, however will not be buying that.
no and i feel ripped off that is the claim for preorder it should be the zone clicky or carpet mount soe diid not make us buy the mid pack to get the zone clicky or mount , and i am upset that the beta reward is that lame looking hat . seams cheap and lazy to me, i think it should be some awesome elemental armor ornament set or weapon ornament set
