Azure.5302 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 By attempting to get one Kung FU Tea Heroic and Shirt code on Sunday for hours, today i ended up with 5 saved codes. Can my guildies get a ban if they use my codes on their existing accounts, or could my friend who is about to make an account get a ban for using a heroic edition code? I had about 12 messages for the codes, but 7 were unreadable so i screenshoted not even enough for my main guildies and i can't give out any sadly.

JustTrogdor.7892 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 According to Chris Cleary. https://old.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/9ce157/kung_fu_tea_promotion_is_banning_accounts/e5ahhgh/ >To my knowledge, we are only closing the newly created promotion heroic edition accounts created by those that are heavily abusing the promotion to do so. https://old.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/9ce157/kung_fu_tea_promotion_is_banning_accounts/e5aj5ye/ >Feel free to give the codes (heroic edition or outfit) out to whomever you want! We're only closing the new accounts being created by players who are trying to abuse the promotion to create a bunch of new heroic edition accounts.

Linken.6345 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Seems like they changed the deal and the heroic and free dragon shirt is usa only now. Maybe gw2 should take it down from their news feed or make note of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Where did you get information that the online promotional content was only for US? I've only seen that the codes have temporarily been on hold until KFT can get the app working, and deal with the issues with the promotion (statement from their website).

Bloodstealer.5978 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 USA only... nice change there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure.5302 Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Yeah Map chat just went wild and I've seen the post on Reddit, I'm on EU and me and my friends used some of the keys. The Kung Fu Tea original wording stated that only the sweepstakes were for the US citizens and did not mention the other "free" part to be for US only. If i knew the shirt and heroic part was also US only i wouldn't have even tried, I hope there will be no consequences for me and my friends.

ReV.6097 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 They celebrate 6 years by secluding half their player base.... I'm pretty kittened off. I don't care for the Heroic edition, I just wanted to get the GW2 shirt/hat thing from beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify: The shirt and hat are separate items, and neither were related to beta. The shirt codes were originally given out to people attending certain Anet events (or gamescom) shortly after the launch of the game. The hat was a free gem store item available to everyone who was playing for that first couple of weeks after launch. The shirt (in its current Outfit form) is/was the item being given away in this promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they do something to amend this. I don't mind giving my code away, but I sure as hell hope they find some way to bring back that tonic/shirt, even if it's on the store at some point..
