expectations set by us the community toward an advent calendar
Ectar… I remember fondly seeing the calendar go up as a kid,
and the absolute joy of opening that first window to find a 5%
discount voucher on a £ 20 Million Villa in the 'Parc du St.Tropez'
(with a free chocolate on purchase thrown in of course). You
have exactly managed to capture that magical 'Advent Spirit' and
brought all those fond memories flooding back. There is nothing
perverted at all in the use of an advent calendar as a sales tool…
It exactly matches the spirit of the nativity.Ectar:

not a concept exclusive to WG or WoT, it's a tradition that
trancends your argument due to wider traditions. So no, precedent
is not my opinion, It's a widely acepted and practiced and
tradition. Had WG adhered to precedent then each day the calendar
would have offered a small token to all, i.e. 1000cr, a small
repair kit, 10gold, etc. etc. Instead of adopting the tradition of
token giving and reflection, they have resorted to little more than
a common pressure sales campaign. Get it?Ectar: Lets please not get into a discussion about what exactly
must be included in an advent calendar as if there is a global
standard that all "Advent Calendars" must adhere too. When I
was growing up our calendar didn't have chocolate, toys or things
like lego mini figures. It was nothing but a picture and I had to
fight my brother each day to be the one to open the door. Does that
mean we just cut all the offers and replace each day with just a
nice picture? Of course not, that would anger players even more,
especially the ones looking for free gifts each day or massive
discounts. The concept we created here was a way of offering
new options for a limited time only, we thought it would be cool do
it it like an advent calendar where each day it's something new and
we have players thinking "Oh I wonder what's next". Now if you're
going to be all sarcastic about pricing or start asking about
vehicles we've said multiple times won't be available for XYZ
reason, this promotion isn't really for you. I can only
apologize for any confusion where players may feel that for what is
a premium shop promotion, rather than selling something
we would instead be giving out freebies each day. (The
same freebies that when players pick up through playing the game
via missions, are frequently source of complaint with regards to
"is that it?")
