Founder Pack Opinion

For my opinion It's normal since It is BETA and It really is a nice game that ppl were looking forward to play. On the other hand I found seeing the "GET HoTN PACK TO GET RID OF THIS" kinda greedy.. They absolutely need to make money I have no obligation on that BUT the HoTN pack is already there to see.. I'll wait since it's a beta testing and It's the first day but I don't want to see these kind of stuff like 'Are you worried about lagging? BUY HoTN PACK!" 
That's all.
That's all. Thus the blade is swung down-

He's stating that these ridiculous queues were fabricated so they could sell more founders packs. You know, a marketing scheme.
The queue exists so the servers don't overload and crash, kicking everyone to the curb.
Its normal to have queue's durring a Beta, especially when it hits 'open' beta. Whats not normal is for a player to get iinto a queue, and see this as the number of people in line:
Granted, it is a display issue (as we later learned), But still.. That will put alot of people off to have that kind of a bug pop up. Think of it as opening up a Steak Diner for your opening night, only to have to tell your customers that your having to slaughter the cows first before you can feed them, so the wait time will be 30 minutes to 4 hours... Then finding out that you do indeed have steaks ready to cook, but your customers don't know it because they still see the message about having to slaughter cows first :rolleyes:
Though i do agree with you about the 'i payed $$$ i shouldnt have to wait in a queue' people being a bit of a prick. If you spent money on the game it should be because you LIKE the game and want to support it, not because you want to get 'special privileges'.
If people don't have access they will go elsewhere.

It does make sense. One wonders why they made the $200 pack have an option to skip the Queue line unless they knew it would be an issue.
They likely did it because SOE does it with Planetside 2. Though its 15$ a month to do it, not a 1-time payment.
Because peak login times generally have some kind of wait.
And return when things have settled down.
They should have included a $100 option to make $200 seem less greedy.
By doing so, they would make $200 look like the package intended for the absolute elite.
The pricing as it is now makes the $60 look like a waste of time and money, and $200 to be a metric ****ton.
They hope.
I actually wonder why people expected this launch to go on without a hitch...
The guardian pack was a huge waste of money I'm finding out. $200 is just way too much for the hotn. I would pay $50 for preference in the queue and nothing else.
Didn't happen with Perfect World
Didn't happen with Raiderz either
Its only a waist of money if you bought it for the wrong reasons.
'Right' reasons to buy ANY founders pack for ANY game.
1. Want to support the game and company, and get some 'goodies' while your at it.
2. LIKE the goodies that are offered.
3. Plan to continue playing the game, even threw rough times as you like the GAME itself.
Wrong Reasons
1. Want the ability to skip threw a line.
2. Dont really care about supporting the game, simply want 'stuff' handed to you.
3. Expect things to run smoothly and get preferential treatment simply because you payed $$.
Saps like you are why companies like EA are able to treat gamers the way they do. Grats.
Ive put money into games like Firefall, EVE, Guild Wars 2, Neverwinter.. and plan to put money into The Elder Scrolls Online. Not simply for 'toys' or because i want anything special, but because i LIKE those games, and i want to help them develop and continue to run.
if someone is throwing money at something for reason that dont actually involve the growth of whatever their throwing money at, or are doing it even when they dont 'like' the thing. Then they only have themselves to blame.
To be fair, nobody gives a <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> about those games. At least not in comparison to a D&D MMO.
To be fair, there's already a Dungeons and Dragons MMO, Dungeons and Dragons online
The marketing scheme was its F2P when its actually spend your whole paycheck to play and if you have any money left you can buy these keys !!!!
To be fair. That game is terrible. To be fair.
That one... was actually fairly decent when it came out. What made it crappy was the over-use of slimes/oozes.. as a money-sink (in-game money that is). In the actual D&D Books Oozes were rare to find, and were a pain as they 'ate' threw all armor and weapons not made of wood. in DDO, they were put in EVERYTHING, just for the express purpose of forcing you to spend silver on repairs after every single dungion crawl.
