Obviously it's only $20 were talking about, but its your money that you've spent. Its like saying, "Lets give out free premiums because some people never had em. The payed user(s) enjoyed it, so lets give non-silk buyers free premium!!" I dont see why there's a need to complain about. U never go to the super market and buy smt with special offer bonus, that before u didnt get?If i understand correctly, ur trying to say that it's unfair that the non silk buyer has the same advantage as silk buyer. Like the super market example above, who wouldn't be upset when they buy a food and the next day it has promotion -50% price? But that's life and u must accept it. The seller has the right to do whatever he wants with his product, even giving it free. Luck and bad luck are basing on your own decision. U chose to buy silk, no one forced you. And it's irreasonable if u complain other's fault.

I brought that car knowing perfectly well in my mind that this is the car i want. I'm happy with buying it for $50,000 and i want to conduct this purchase. Now after i have acquired the car and they want to give it to someone else, they can. If someone else gets a free car it doesn't effect me and my driving experience at all, i still get what i wanted. Actually in all honesty i would want them to give free cars away to people, $50,000 is a lot of money and most people won't feel the happiness that i do for owning such a nice car. This way other people get to own one when they couldn't before and i will draw happiness out of that.
And you really are being selfish and resentful. Just because someone does a nice deed in this world you get pissed off because it doesn't benefit you in anyway. How about you be happy that some other people in this game aside from you get something they have always wanted, ok? The world doesn't revolve around you mate, start to realize that. Chances are they will be trade able and you can sell the suits you pick up for gold ( since you have one already ) and as a result you will gain something from it. Oh but thats not good enough for you, is it? Like i said, no one is being selfish. People spend their money to get something THEY want, so wait please explain how is that selfish? Because you worked for YOUR money to spend what YOU need. These people are not spending a single dime to get something that YOU worked for. Let me put it this way: I'll go to college, study my ass off, get a good paying job, work my ass off, buy a million dollar home. See i deserve my "million" dollar home because i worked for it, just like i have a job and i worked for my silk. Now lets say: Some one else doesn't go to college, doesn't have a good paying job, doesn't work his ass off, but gets a FREE million dollar home, because someone felt it's a good deed. (I was using homes as an example) I don't care if its free, and has blues i could care less. I'm just trying to prove a point for those that care.

I really don't see why people are complaining, I've had the wizard suit loved it and don't give a shit if people are getting it for free, it gives a chance to people who don't have the ability to buy them the chance to have them. You may say you're not being selfish but you are.

I was merely debating with you on how unfair it was for those who bought and spent their money, against those who haven't and received the same treatment. I wasn't viewing it your way until nuclear explained, but i see what you guys mean. Now relax.

I have bought the Wizard suit also, and I have no anger at all towards JM. If anything, it makes me excited to grind, and get the suits for my other characters. I think the majority of people feel this way.
Plus it looks like we'll be able to trade these suits.

Blurred's example wasnt that good imho. Its more like this: You work your ass off to get a promotion, but you dont know all your efforts are in vain, coz the other guy/girl is the friend of the main hr manager or whatever and he/she WILL get that dam promotion, not you. This is more like this. Buying silk is one thing, also, jm can do whatever he wants, but this is a wtf for me. Dumping old suits to ppl for free is unstylish, uncreative and imma i wont buy silk anymore if those suits can be blued. Period. I have a bad habit: I dont work togheter with idiots... and when someone prooves he is one, he is a goner in my eyes.
Nuclear/other's who dont complain:
With minimal effort JM could do some rly good free dress for the playes, like pumpkin knight, jason mask, whatever. That would be stylish and creative but right now i think its the opposite.

they could either start giving out avatars they selling for free and lose all future business ... or they will have to make a greater distinction between the sold ones and the free ones.

I think the ability to get these items both male and female and be able to trade them is proof enough they won't be able to have the same blues on them. They could very well have shitty blues on them or something though. Like + 2 Str and Int on chest, +1 each on Hat and 25% HP Recovery on Broom.

Or perhaps its to give the users a 'taste' of the benefits you get from buying an avatar suit. So that way you buy a real one. We'll see in a few hours. lol

I'm not sure if this was mentioned but those that are complaining bout the free suit, did you even take into consideration that by paying a mere $20 got you the suit ONE YEAR EARLY?
Take the car example, one guy might have gotten the car for free but it doesn't mean the car is still worth as much as when the guy bought it a year earlier.

I don't know why you're complaining. Out of 400+ boxes I've got... - MASSIVE amounts of dodging scrolls(yay) - a broomstick and a hat that fit me, then 2 opposite gender hats and 3 opposite gender broomsticks. Not a single chest, yet.
So do not tell me it's unfair. I'm giving my best in parties to get a chest, but I can't. <_<
