So, "Quest Elixirs", aka XP pots, all of them are 20 percent off until the 10th of December. Gotcha. I bought a lot of them! I was happy. Great discount. In fact, I figured I should get the most bang for the buck, and I bought the bestest highest level, the Sovereign Xp Elixirs!

But then.... one week later....

And theres the same thing I just bought, only 30 percent off.

This is lame. It makes me not want to buy anything. Not just wait to buy, but not buy. Anything. This would seem to me to be the opposite attitude you would want a customer to have. Spend spend spend should be the motto. Not, wait, maybe they'll discount the same thing, or one of the same things, just a week later, maybe I shouldn't buy attitude.

I regret my purchase. And I'm thinking of the past instead of the future. And regretting money spent instead of happy for what I bought. Opposite.

This leaves such a lasting sour taste that I don't even want the difference refunded. It's that bad of an experience, really! (After all, you just might discount it 35 percent next week after I get the points back) See? These are unhappy customer jokes. (sad trombone music plays)

That is ... geez ... I am missing words.
I bought Slayer Boosts.

I can't express how stupid this feels. It is not this alone but all the things lately are piling up. SSG you need to wake up.

facepalm

Another example of SSG’s marketing being done by somebody who has no business being there because they obviously have no clue whatsoever about even the most basic of marketing principles. A third grader could do just as good of a job as - if not better than - whoever it is that’s mucking this up so badly.
