Quit "blaming" CE owners for actually owning a CE

Right, because watching game chat and forums is a completely representative and scientific way of judging the opinions of CE customers? It isn't like people who are unhappy are more motivated to post then people who are happy, even assuming you don't simply suffer from confirmation bias and screen out anyone who disagrees as being a minority you can ignore.

I bought the Collectors Edition for the following reasons in order of importance:
Journal of Gnost Dural. I'm a sucker for physical things like this written like the are in-universe.
The statue
Music CD
In-game items
Regular updates

I'm not arrogant or stupid enough to think that everyone bought it for precisely the same reasons as I, however logically I think someone claiming a majority bought a package of various items including two largish physical items solely for one digital item needs to provide some significant evidence for such a claim.

Ok? What's your point? Don't like it? Unsub and ship the contents of the CE and demand a refund. They did it for GW2. I guess Arenanet does a better job of handling spoiled players: They get rid of them.

Yeah...becuase the people who play the game and make their concerns known should be counted as nothing.

Just lol @ garbage like this.

Garbage like inferring someone said something that they did not? I never said people who were concerned about the lack of regular updates counted for nothing, I said you needed to provide evidence for your assertion that they are the majority. You have failed to do so.

+1 for LadyD

The music and statue were pretty much a waste to be honest. Unless you liked most of the CD being the god awful cantina music selections.

And again, to get past think skulls.... BE/EA emphasised greatly on the vendor, which led to more CE purchases. Was it the sole reason I bought it - no, was it a big factor - yes.

It was mentioned in discussions about what was included in the CE, but I didn't feel it was overly emphasized. Perhaps it was just me, because as I mentioned before, I felt it stupid to base a purchase decision of $90 (minus the $60 for the cost of the game) on something that I might end up having no use for anyway. Clearly you and some others felt otherwise, in which case, I have a bridge I would like to sell you.

Ok, let me just dust off the ole time machine and...

Not sure how actually playing the game and noticing and obvious trend isn't good enough to you your honor. How does the jury find me in your court?

How do you observe someone's reason for purchasing a CE in-game?

I have a solution that BW is probably considering...

Put some worthwhile stuff in the CE store, and also allow people to upgrade their accounts to CE status.
