The big question:
Can you get the new costume after the release date, or is it one of those predatory pre-order bonuses for extra fomo?
The fact that this is not mentioned anywhere is already pretty bad. Do better, Anet. I remember when the fairness of "Buy once and play forever without fees" was a big point of GW advertising and Anet presented itself as the good guys. But maybe the overton window of the gaming industry's scumbaggery has shifted so far that they think nobody even cares anymore.
Who knows, who cares? New content on a "dead" game. Im here for it. Can't please everyone it seems.
