Ashantara.8731 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Dear ANet devs, Why o why do I have to pay the full price when I already own a Riding Broom? Shouldn't that be subtracted from the full price? :/ **Note:** The Gem Store, as usual, is buggy and I cannot preview the broom, only the other two items. But according to the preview image, it is the default broom. Edit: Just saw that the items are available separately as well. Still, 900 Gems vs. 1000 Gems, that is hardly a discount for those who already bought the broom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauderi.8706 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 It looks like this broom is different from the riding toy. :\ So even if you have the toy, the glider combo is something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkenpilot.9837 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 *points at the magic carpet glider* I own the magic carpet riding toy. When the glider was introduced, they didn't suddenly give all the toy carpet owners the glider for free. Same thing applies here. Anet's gotta make dat money.

Charrbeque.8729 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 The riding broom toy isn't a limited-per-account purchase. You can purchase as many for yourself as you want (that is if you don't want to bother putting in the bank or shared inventory slots to switch it between characters). What's the big deal anyway? It sounds like the combo with the glider and toy together isn't much of a discount than purchasing them separately. As for me, I'll buy the glider by itself. I have the costume brawl toy broom that comes with the witche's outfit anyway, and 1 of the brawl skills is to ride it, so it's sort of a combination of a travel toy and costume brawl item. I'm still hoping for a Mad Mirror glider. I bought the travel toy last year because it was cool looking. Edit: On second thought, I went ahead and bought the combo. It was only an extra 150 gems compared to buying the mini, glider, and travel toy separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 People seem to be forgetting that, in the past, there have been several Gem Store bundles where you would get the item(s) you already own subtracted from the price.

This is true. However, when they changed the magic carpet travel toy into a glider, they didn't let those of us with the magic carpet travel toy get a discount. So, it seems as though they intend for any gliders based on the travel toys to not give a discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Could you own more than one of those items that were subtracted from the bundle? If not, it makes sense; if you could, then that would be the reason it's not subtracted, and since one can purchase the item(s) separately, there's a choice. Good luck.

notebene.3190 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I had the toy from a long time ago. I just got the stand alone glider and I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Still hoping to get my Magic Carpet glider like I did my wing gliders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skins for the wings back piece and glider are the same. The skin for the broom travel toy and broom glider are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
