Just figured i'd check the link to see what all the fuss was about, only to find a huge bright yellow banner that reads Pre-purchase GW2 now in bold type, which was the only clickable link shown hugely twice on the page to buy the game. After that I can't say it's all that big a deal.

The "fuss" is that the button says "signup and PLAY NOW". You cannot PLAY NOW. That is misleading.

Very top of that page reads
"Pre-Purchase Now, You will immediately receive your Guild Wars 2 activation key"
Alone, that could be translated more ambigiously BUT the fact the lead-in link has "PLAY NOW" it is not so easily dismissed.

DId you think that pre-purchasing will allow you to play now?

Same here. It's gonna be a fun Saturday night for whoever has to read all of these.
Oh absolutely, three whole letters regarding an extremely trivial issue, I'm sure they'll be up all night over it.
/facepalm
But you don't know what I wrote. Or what the other two (at least) wrote. Myself I'm still composing mine on the fly using legal precedents and case laws to back myself up. Fun reading to be sure!

No. But I didn't get my pre-purchase through a misleading link either.

I don't need to know the content of letter to know that the issue it is pressing at is a trivial one at best.
Legal precedents and case laws? Come on man, talk about trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.

You have obviously not been outside your home have you? Or watched any "reality" TV? Or talked to the public in general? I GUARANTEE someone WILL think they can play as soon as they buy it. Stupid and gullible people need protection too.

Yes...it's not the end of the world cataclysmic...it is just an issue that some CAN fall for...or it can simp[ly cause problems with people "exploiting" the mistake and making it into a big deal.

Right. The niave should not be exploited....then again, in this world I suppose that's a niave sentiment. Ah well.

I like this game, but I'll freely admit the button is worded in a misleading way. And even if it is explained clearly on the following pages, it's not clear there. No promises people will read beyond the button.

Did you look at the site? It states bold and clearly with big bright yellow outline Pre-purchase. Every where you can buy the game says you'll receive your activation key, so if that's the issue, well I guess they're all guilty.

If you're implying that I'm trolling you might want to get your troll-o-meter checked. It's not giving you an accurate reading. I have every right to weigh in with my opinion on this subject as anyone else and I haven't been offensive or disrespectful in my methods of doing just that.
That having been said...
It's the most minor of issues, and it would require someone to pay little to no attention to what they were doing in order to have them "fall for it".

YOu clearly didn't, it doesn't seem that any of you have. Otherwise you'd know you can't miss where it says pre-purchase.

Now does everyone see the problem with this? Again MOST people know that this game is not out yet but SOME people don't follow these thing as closely as we do. Therefore they will be the ones that get burnt on this.
