hugo.4705 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Deluxe if you share a picture of your drink, for sharing account, only the heroic chest + gw2 t-shirt outfit.. And agreed. The app currently is so laggy that you can't recover your codes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And have those who want a free game jump thru the hoops. Makes no sense to do. The whole purpose of this is promoting the bubble tea and not the anniversary. Also people please stop posting how it didn’t work for you. Literally every 2nd comment is the very same explaining how you‘ve been trying for hours and it didn’t work. What do you expect to happen if you qq on this thread? Someone should close this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnitzelweck.7690 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Kung Fu Tea advertising in gw2 launcher: [https://imgur.com/a/0BnYdOP](https://imgur.com/a/0BnYdOP "https://imgur.com/a/0BnYdOP") Yepp, thats german / from germany ... so i guess the promo is officially world wide.

Shikigami.4013 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 As usual, don't believe everything people write. As soon as I saw the reference to a "Two people from my guild were banned for using the keys" thread on reddit I suspected a hoax. Danikat.8537 made a very good post 2 hours ago about what may have happened. An attempt to scare others and make them stop trying, so that the poster has a better chance of getting his facebook linked seems most likely to me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alga.6498 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 This whole thing feels like a bad F2P game with bad partnerships with "free rewards!11". Gotta love whoever had this brilliant idea to make ANet look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love whoever had this brilliant idea to make ANet look bad. Actually, it makes Kung Fu Tea look bad much more than Anet. Anet isn't the one paralyzed by the demand. In fact, the Anet devs are probably looking at this and looking at KFT and thinking, "Man, there but for the grace of Zinn we go." I can only imagine the awkward conversation in KFT's board room this coming Tuesday morning; it will probably start with a question from the CEO to their marketing and IT heads... "So tell me: when you came up with this idea to promote our brand by linking us with Guild Wars 2, did it ever occur to you that Guild Wars 2 has millions of players all over the world, and how many of those players would be trying to log into our tiny hamster wheel app over the long weekend?" Seriously, "We didn't anticipate the demand" is the absolute worst excuse for internet failures. This isn't on Anet; it's on KFT for not being prepared for what they were getting into.

Deimos.4263 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 This is one of the few items that have been completely unobtainable for the past 6 years, so everyone is jumping on it like crazy. Kind of a shame how poorly it played out. Of course people are upset. Anet just send us all the code and we'll promise to go chug some bubble tea.

Tomorrow is national labor day in the US, so don't expect that they're going to solve the problems by then. Since the app was apparently developed by a third-party-developer probably will make it worse. We can probably be happy of they solve the problems at the end of the week, but it almost certainly won't get solved any sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't on Anet; it's on KFT for not being prepared for what they were getting into. I think, more likely, the KFT honchos will be looking to popdeem; it's popdeem's app that's not working.

Yeah glad they are cracking down on people abusing it. Edit: Another update from Chris in the same reddit thread: >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.

Izzykins.8624 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I haven't found this mentioned yet but is the "Log in with Facebook" option sufficient to trigger the connected account status? Because it IS showing as the Facebook account being connected on the 'Connect Social Media' accounts tab, but it is not showing me anything special under my profile page.

Shikigami.4013 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Thank god, an official statement. So much for goldsellers making tens of thousands of accounts and destroying GW2, the economy and even the beer in your fridge. Seems ANet was prepared for this, else they would not have closed the offending newly created accounts during the weekend. Also the people claiming to "have been banned for using the code" seem to have forgotten that they heavily abused the system and used the codes on lots of newly created game accounts. Don't trust the poor "I am so innocent but I got banned" people. If I ever get a code (app still won't let me) I will use it on the account I made for my mom to look around in the game without any fear of getting banned. Like any person with common sense would.
