It's Military Appreciation Month, and we're going all out on
the Premium Shop! Several different bundles are on offer and
available through May, and some give you the opportunity to show
your appreciation through a charitable donation. Each charity
bundle is tied to a specific organization, where 25% of the
proceeds from each bundle will go to the associated charity --
or you can get the bundle where it goes to all of them! Have some
fun and get in some great battles this month, but don't forget
to show your appreciation to those who serve everyday, for real.
So I was going to buy the Major General Package so
that $46.37 would be donated between the charities -- as the
written even as highlighted above stated. However as The_Chieftain
so kindly just informed us:ONLY THE $22.99 PACKAGES GO TO CHARITY. It may not be my place to say, but putting SOME bundles that ARE going to charity and others that ARE NOT going to charity all on the same advertisement makes the event seem quite misleading. The announcement makes it appear as if all eight bundles are in fact charitable donations. If what you say is true about how only 4 of the 8 advertised packages are in fact going to charity, when the description clearly indicates -- or at least heavily implies -- that "25% of the proceeds from each bundle will go to the associated charity -- or you can get the bundle where it goes to all of them!" seems to me to be fraudulent and or misleading advertising. Had I not of read this forum thread I was considering purchasing the largest of the bundles so that all four charities would get $11.59, instead of the mere $5.75 to each organization individually or worse than that $1.43 individually if the all charities bundle was chosen, however now that I know that those latter bundles are in fact 100% wargaming profits and not at all charitable I will not be purchasing a misleading package. The way the advertisement was laid out just seems really slimy, especially to the average user who does not use this forum as much as a person like myself does. I would consider making it more explicit on the advert itself that NOT ALL THE PACKAGES GO TO CHARITY, else it does seem to be fraudulent advertising. Sincerely, A concerned member of this community.

In fairness, a common reading of the wording does make it clear, especially when combined with the previous sentence. Each bundle donates to the associated charity, and the five bundles immediately underneath are all prefaced "charity bundle". The bundles beneath do not have "charity bundle" in their title, neither do they state an association with one.
