Please allow VIPs to buy Adventure Packs

**KKDragonLord** · 09-18-2009, 08:19 PM

I would like to have the same freedom to buy adventure packs as F2Ps so i can take advantage of these weekend sale deals that make me want to buy packs i never considered buying before...

Not being able to buy adventure packs as a VIP feels like the "complete freedom to decide how to pay for content" is not as Unlimited as it sounds

These posts are already in every other topic on the forum. The answer is "no"

**KKDragonLord** · 09-18-2009, 08:27 PM

Very helpful... and i thought this was the place to talk about the store.

The official answer? can i get a link please?

Use the dev tracker at the top of the website to find all of the Dev's forum posts. They answered this question at least 7 times in the past few days.

**Cleitanious** · 09-18-2009, 08:37 PM

Actually, I can't find those posts in the Dev Tracker anymore...

**KKDragonLord** · 09-18-2009, 08:41 PM

Interesting.

**Cleitanious** · 09-18-2009, 08:43 PM

I'm not being an ass. I've seen this brought up in more than one topic with a developer/CSR response saying they won't do it. Maybe they'll make another post in this one....

Half of the Turbine reps aren't developers, so their posts aren't included in the dev tracker. x_x

**KKDragonLord** · 09-18-2009, 08:46 PM

Well i am sorry if missed all that talk and only looked for it here before posting yet another one, but at least theres a thread about this in the place people will come to look for it.

What i am really sry about though is that i'll have to wait until my sub expires before spending my TPs.

**Cleitanious** · 09-18-2009, 09:14 PM

I did kinda wish you could do it, but it was explained by the official poster they have a "no rain check policy" on sales.

I hate to say it, but it's obviously a plan to make it so VIPs don't use their 500 point/month Turbine Point stipend to slowly purchase adventure packs and then drop their subscription once they have enough to satisfy their desire for adventures. So, just a ploy to keep you locked into the subscription once they get you in that price model.

Bingo. Turbine is scared of the upcoming NWN mmo, and is trying to lock people into subscription fees while they can, using a deceptive "FREE, NO CHARGES!" campaign, but locking over 70% of the game away to so called "Free" players.

Nwn Mmo?

Turbine is trying everything they can to prevent another D&D based MMO from coming out, (and heres my opinion) because they know ANYONE with a brain can at least provide better customer support than them. 4 hours a day support number? Reallllly? I know you're going broke Turbine, but a work day in the US is EIGHT hours not 4. And lets not get started on their email queues. I know a company with ONE support technician and similar player base to DDO that clears their support queue on 1-3 day delay. And does it well, not with form letters. Turbine is seriously reminding me of Failship studios with their recent moves.

As much as I would love a NWN MMO, I must say...

Turbine is a small company, not an incompetent one.

Well that maybe true but even if this games closes I wont be playing that one as for me it has three strikes against it so its out.

1. Atari

2. Cryptic

3. the better they were forgotten realms.

Boredom. And hey. As incompetent as turbine is, they're still better at making a playable game than blizzard. Though the attack speed **** they just pulled brings that into question.

Hmm I can agree with part of this

Blizzard's bank account questions your claim.

Anyway, a great solution to not being able to buy adventure packs on a VIP account is to stop paying for a VIP account.
