Has anyone purchased these and with the Sharandar in particular does it unlock all boons immediately?
Thanks in advance for any clarification.

C'mon, you wouldn't kid a kidder, would you? Isn't the IWD requirement something like three boons on two toons? Doesn't seem like a very high bar, especially since Shar and DR have been available to play for quite some time now.
And yeah, the IWD requirements were a bit of a pain, but that "two full weeks!" of daily grind is less than 30 min to do. I've done DR 6-7 times now, Sharandar 4 (and working on 5). If you're running 5 characters, either 1. they are primarily leadership alts, in which case, why does it really matter? 2. You *do* play them regularly, in which case, why wouldn't you want the boons?
Either way, if you want to skip past a big chunk of content and playtime, then yes, I think it should cost you for each and every character you want to have skip it.
Don't get me wrong - I hate the grind aspect to it as well, but I think it's been getting better since Sharandar. Good things sometimes have a price attached. That's life.
You kind of completely ignored his point. We play to enjoy ourselves. The campaigns, especially sharandar have been designed to forceably timegate you rather for you to enjoy playing and and hence it is repetitive and boring.
The grind is a core part of mmo's. There are almost always time gated dailies in every game I've touched for the past 10 ish years. They are part of the genre. It's like complaining you want a rock concert to turn down the volume.
It's not grinding I was talking about. I've done CN many hundreds of times. It was still something I liked doing for a long long time. I've done sharandar and the rest 7 times and hated it as soon as it was released. Just because you have to work for you rewards, doesn't mean you have to have an unenjoyable time doing so. The vast majority don't like sharandar in particular. They focused more on how to make us not complete it in one day rather than making actually enjoyable.
1 Make a requirement to purchase the pack, that you must have completed the campaign on at least character for that zone in which you which to purchase.
2. These have the potential to open up zones to those illicit companies and allow them to spam us to buy ad and stuff where it did not exist before.
Even a novice player new to mmo can hit 60 in mere days and have no understanding of how to actually play. In this case it will hurt everyone. Having an option as a player who has ran a number of toons through these campaign, this can be a god send. I was totally dreading Sharander once again.
Adding this requirement would solve both these issues.
I am with Frishter on this one, I am sorry the only thing I enjoy about Sharander is the dungeon and Celedan (sp?) and even Celadan is just a fast 3 min run for me solo. When I was running my GWF through the campaign I just banked the daily dungeon key to use them all in Celadan, I never got around to running it, I may just give the keys to my warlock and let him run it over and over.
LOL! Minsc and Boo avatar! Nice!

A more cynical response was that relative improvement is easy if the initial bar is set low enough.
Admittedly I rather liked Dread Ring, but honestly something should have been done to reduce the grind for Sharandar (apart from a ZEN Shop item obviously).
That is true. It also makes it worse when you do it on 8 toons. That and having just levelled my warlock to 60... I think nerfing some of the spark requirement costs would go a long way.
RIP having a life.
