They did this on RuneScape a few years ago with a certain legendary pet, Shadow Drake, which at first took roughly 30 euro of investment to get and was advertised to be limited, much like a Supporter Pack here. ...needless to say a year later, they went on sale again, because people were crying they missed the initial sale. That already caused an outrage, but it was only a 1 day sale so, okay. Then people started crying about having missed that 1 day sale, so they did another one a while later for a few days longer. More outcry against this decision of course. ...right now it's on sale again, even for 50% off. I mean, if you want to send a subtle middle finger to your community, look no further. ;) :D Bird lover of Wraeclast Las estrellas te iluminan - Hoy te sirven de guía Te sientes tan fuerte que piensas - que nadie te puede tocar	Posted by Mikrotherion#4706 on Jul 19, 2019, 7:38:16 AM Quote this Post

Don't get me wrong, I want quite a few thing I've missed previously as well, so I'd be happy at an opportunity to get it, but I don't kid myself. I missed my chance, tough luck for me. It's completely unfair to those that were around to "unlimit" their limited edition stuff. I agree with every word. It haunts me to this day that I didn't get the Kiwi back in the days. Would I ask for it today? Of course not. That small, little cutie would lose all meaning if they decided to sell it now, and it would be a punch in the face to everyone that did get it.

Ok, I will put it clear. I missed the Sunspire Supporter pack. Yes, it's totally my fault, I fucked up. I didn't play the game last league and missed it. But do you have to be so harsh about these supporter packs? Let the people buy them 2-3 month after the new ones are in the shop. I would agree if it would cost 2-3 times more, if I need to contact the support several times about it. What is so wrong about it? I don't get... Curiosity is followed by ambition.

No! You want to alienate 95% of your revenue stream then sure go ahead but expect a shitstorm of epic size to happen. Last edited by AldarisGrave#7629 on Jul 19, 2019, 5:33:52 PM	Posted by AldarisGrave#7629 on Jul 19, 2019, 5:33:36 PM Quote this Post

But do you have to be so harsh about these supporter packs? Yes. They hold their special value precisely because they are limited. Just as with every limited edition ever. People buy this stuff for a large part because it is limited. You best bet would be to find someone who doesn't want his Sunspire stuff anymore and try to arrange with GGG that the MTX are transferred over to your account. I wouldn't bet on them doing, though, but I figure it's the only remote possible solution. Believe the people who already posted this - if they went on selling the limited stuff again a shitstorm, nay, shittempest of epic proportions would hit the forums and reddit. I don't think GGG would like to handle it. And yes, I'd love to get a Kiwi, but they're gone.
