Question about new active companion slots

Active Companion Bonuses
All companions now have an Active Bonus that they grant to you or your summoned companion when they are in an Active Companion Slot. These Active Companion slots are on the left side of the Companion Window. You start with 3 and gain one at level 30 and a fifth slot on reaching level 60.
If you had purchased a companion active slot on the live server, when this goes live will you still have that extra companion slot (6 slots at level 60)

If you purchased another active companion slot, the will only benefit from the extra slot if it is less than level 60 once module 2 comes out.
Nothing will happen. You are **** out of luck.
Kind of a bummer but whatever.
No, you will not get refunded the zen. You get to enjoy the benefits of the extra slot from the time you purchased it up until the time that module 2 is released.

...especially since the companion slots were on sale about the time when the companion active bonus came out on the preview server.
thats misleading and wrong to lure customers with a sale to buy stuff that is secretly decided to become entirely obliterate very soon...
I do agree that the store description should probably have been updated much sooner than the changes would go live.

That is not the ethical business practice of a company I would like to continue to give my money to.
And the <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> about it wasn't a secret, you could have gone to the preview server.
Got news for you, some people don't ever go to preview servers, because they want to experience the changes when it goes live and not be tempted to try it out in advance and lose replayability.
Some people won't agree with me, some will agree with me, but in my eyes, this is theft. Of course in a legal standpoint it is not, because of the EULA that you agree to when you sign into the game.
But, just because they haven't done anything illegal, its still unethical and I'll do the only thing I can do, and speak with my walot.
People that bought it at level 60 did not get any benefit. There was no active companion slot bonuses in the game yet. The character could have been stored in the Idle slot, instead of an active slot and nothing would have changed.
If the purchase was account bound, then people would at least get a benefit on their new Ranger Characters.
As is, if you used to havr a RP, or fun companion that you liked to play with when the situation was not requiring a Cat/Ioun, say the daily foundries or Sharandar quests, before module 2 you just had to click once to dismiss your augment and get your Quickling/Phoera/Leprechaun alive and kicking. Now with module 2 you have your active companion plus 4 other pets that you choose for their bonus and will never be active. Your Cat/Ioun becomes the only possible active companion, and your RP/fun pet is now idle forever in your inventory, its runestones and gear wasting six slots in your bank/inventory.
Companion bonusses were a nice idea, but were poorly implemented.
for now, companion slots will remain in the zen shop for those that wish to obtain companion slots early. whether that will change in the future, we don't know.
to discuss refunds or questions about purchased active character slots prior to module 2, you need to contact customer support. there is nothing that we can do to address this inquiry at this level. and as this thread has already started to get a little flamey, we're going to close it.
