Are you guys seriously going to screw over the actual people who paid real money for it ? people bought it because there were no other means of acquiring it via ZAX, and now people can buy it fir 3,750,000 Astral Diamonds if they wanted it ? what's going on ?

Btw.: Is it a one-time use or can every character claim the artifact/fashion/30-slot bag?
1) It would have been cheaper to buy ZEN and then get the pack.
2) We have just had the worst AD exploit in Neverwinter's history and those that did so will be able to take full advantage of this.
In fact it almost looks like Cryptic is trying to see just how much they can HAMSTER off paying customers....
Yes, account wide. And that's not the point im trying to make. My point is, some people actually paid because that was the only option we had to aquire the pack.. Had i known it would be available for a zen purchase, i would have just bought it with my AD using ZAX, meaning i wouldn't have had to actually buy it with real money.
I agree. The only reason I didn't buy the pack was their overall handling of the Astral Rifts exploit so I think I have to be thankful after all.
What might have happened is that the numbers from the real money package (understandably) came back underwhelming and now they are trying to generate some more revenue through the ZAX. Truth be told: It makes no difference to them. A ZEN is (about) a dollar. Even if you personally buy with ADs, the ZEN were purchased by somebody.
Doesn't show if you already bought it. The HR and SW packs disappear from the zen store once you buy them, too.
Ugh, thanks for the info. Wish they let us know before then people wouldn't feel so cheated. Would've rather spent my AD. Probably technically cheaper that way too since you get bonus zen kind of defeating the point of the "sale" thing...
Thank you for offering varied payment options Cryptic, very cool! :cool:
If they sell this in game... they are throwing away the ONLY way they had of getting money out of people like me.
I play for free and enjoy it. If i spent money on the game to "win" then there would be nothing left for me to do and I would quit, which defeats the point of spending the money if the first place!
I have been playing for just over a year now and when I saw the 30 slot bag for every char... I was interested. There is no way to get this pack in game and for me it is just a vanity item (extra space won't change the game for me.. just make it a little less time consuming with bag management.. real fun that!). Secondly, i've been playing for long enough to know that I will get my money worth out of it and not quit in a month so I treated myself.
I also wanted to play the dragonborn from launch.
If this is sold in game... why would I ever give cryptic my money in the future?
On a final note... everyone is still angry over the resent "AD fountains" and that people made a fortune worth of zen from them (causing trouble with the zax for everyone else). Considering they can now use that zen to save 75 bucks, this would not help moral amongst the consumers.. only worsen it.
Thinking both of the customers moral and the company's finances.. I can't understand this decision.
I think it's funny that if you bought the Hero of the North pack, it comes with about 60% of the AD to buy the Dragonborn pack. How cool is that. Then your going to have all those who see it in the Zen store and figure out, hey I'll just purchase AD from a seller and only pay $20! Not that I condone it, but it's going to happen.
Congratulations Cryptic, you made quite a mess.
If everyone does that the ZAX backlog will shoot through the roof. But on the upside, maybe that will force Cryptic to fix the economy. But lets stay realistic...
This is an insult to those that bought the pack to support the game, pure and simple.

I do, however, mind that it was immediately available and at the same price point that I paid cash for. Seriously, it just removed the added value (clearly stated purchase before this date at which the price will be 33% higher) with which it was sold to me at.
Is it illegal - no, of course not.
Is it the right thing to do, no, of course not.
This dev team continues to amaze me by making the wrong choice when it comes to their paying customers - time and time again.
Shame, shame, shame...

As has already been mentioned, Cryptic / PwE don't really *care* what happens, as long as Zen gets sold. If you buy Zen, and trade on the ZaX, you're helping exploiters and helping Cryptic ( buying Zen ). If you buy Zen, and use that zen to buy the packs, you're helping yourself.
Stop putting Zen up on the ZaX. That's the only way to keep things 'exclusive' to people paying dollars for Zen. If you don't use the ZaX, they won't have the Zen.
No use getting all worked up over things.
Of course, if Cryptic just, you know, *pays out* zen through the back door, to lower the ZaX backlog, well. Then you can be upset.
Till then, buying zen, and selling it for AD is simply encouraging the exploiters.
Your right it would, and with the current decisions being made about the in game economy, I don't see it being fixed any time soon.
I still want my money back though, and I'll argue it.
I want a full refund immediately. How do I go about this?
This game is collapsing like a badly run Ponzi scheme.
