Setz.9675 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 as far as I know the codes work everywhere, its just that EU users arent able to properly register to be eligible for them (need to use vpn and other things) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Fear.1624 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 use chrome browser with hola vpn plugin, set location to US. sign up for the code. I have confirmed the codes do work in EU area. it's a little hassle, but worth the effort as you get the outfit. There EU is not excluded, now snap to it.

VAHNeunzehnsechundsiebzig. Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Well, isn't this discrimination? They do stuff for charities - but only NA charities. Where is the support for charities in the rest of the world? They do stuff for players, but only NA players. Where is the free stuff and goodies for the rest of the world? They do stuff with players, but only NA players. Why do you ignore the players in the rest of the world? Seems like a simple conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't what discrimination is, and it would make no sense anyways as the US is very diverse compared to other parts of the world. Restrictions generally come down to conditions set by the partner, or due to legal reasons. This is why if you pay attention to enough promotions within the US you'll see some states are excluded from them due to legal reasons. In this case, the issue comes down to Dell not providing something outside of the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw some of their people at Paris Games Week last September (Er, *the* Paris, the one in France), and they were giving away Dragon Emblem Outfit codes (and photo-ops on the Jackal) there. They *do* do stuff outside the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world is much, much bigger than the US. Kicking most of your playerbase in the face just that some very few US players can get some free stuff, is not really a wise economical decision.

FONGORE.7410 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Had lots of issues getting the code with for the outfit. Kept having to refresh pages ect. due to errors on server end. Then I tried to redeem the Mini Eggs. It just said I wasn't permitted. Refreshed the page thinking it was another error. Now the page with the Mini Egg link will no longer popup. I'm in the US.

The world is much, much bigger than the US. Kicking most of your playerbase in the face just that some very few US players can get some free stuff, is not really a wise economical decision. You have a strange definition of kicking someone in the face. ANet is not excluding anyone, but countries do exclude themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world is much, much bigger than the US. Kicking **most** of your playerbase in the face just that **some very few** US players can get some free stuff, is not really a wise economical decision. You have access to the player population numbers? Otherwise you’re making hyperbolic statements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise you’re making hyperbolic statements. it is just the matter of fact that the USA population is tiny compared to EU, RU, SA, Africa, Near East.

Didn't they give some hat to NA only too? Now this. It is basically saying 'we don't care about you. We only care about US players'. They could solve the issue quite easily btw. All the things they gifted US players with: automatically unlock them for everybody else. It is just skins, doesn't cost them anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
