what's up with the weekend blow sale?

No, they haven't yet. But it's early, and also the weekend. It's entirely likely we'll have an 'official announcement' Monday. I actually feel somewhat bad for the OP, since the Boa and other mounts are limited edition and currently unavailable except from other players willing to sell. I feel no sympathy for those planning on purchasing battle packs, as those are still available, simply at their normal non-sale price. As far as rainchecks go... for what? Your rain check is your Zen - it will still be there unless you the consumer decide to burn it on something else. Zen is not refundable.



It's a far cry to go from one "oops, sale ended early" to "never having what is advertised." When was the last time PWI goofed up this way? I've been playing since February and this is the first time I've seen a sale end earlier than advertised.



Hypothetical numbers are good for proving a point, but they're purely hypothetical. Right now the player base will have to settle for whatever apology and fix comes our way. Again, you're treating this as a repeat mistake, not a one-time "oh ****! We goofed!" Which is something I just don't get. b:puzzled



The OP has a valid complaint. For his sake and for others who wanted the mount, I again sympathize. I hope that the mount sale is resumed in short order - next weekend (FULL WEEKEND) would be highly appropriate. My bone of contention is with vampirenite and anyone else who wants to QQ about battle pets. Those goodies are still available, just a trifle more expensive. It's not like SoF or Feathers are in short supply from the catshops either. And that argument just comes across as one big "Waaaaaah!" b:cry


Sorry to disillusion you, but they don't. I grant you, you're more coherent than some of the other complaints I've read, and for that you have my respect. However, tripe about wasted time and one-off metaphors (the movie ticket analogy is utterly flawed) doesn't help the game, its players, or its profitability.

As a final correction, my standpoint is not "Go on, get out already." It's simply, "Be patient and wait for the fix." Somebody genuinely screwed up here, and although we don't yet have a time-frame on when it will be corrected, well... as they say, patience is a virtue.

Why don't you just shut the hell up?
Everyone has a right to complain if any service is not provided fully as advertised. Period.

Hello All,

I posted something similar in another thread but please allow me to reiterate.

Due to a scheduling error, the sale ran shorter than was initially intended.

You will see these items on sale again in the near future to make up for this anomaly.

Now for those who have bought ZEN and are waiting for these items to come back, rejoice, you got a bonus 15% on top of whatever you charged. Those who will be charging their ZEN when this "rain check" sale occurs may not be as lucky.
