At this point I dont think we could hear any more arguments on either side and everyone should finally begin moving on.
Its human nature to want to rant or argue against someones rant, but this is getting repetitive.
For everyone who missed out.. be prepared next time and try to learn from this experience. If you want a limited release, make sure youre hooked up with a reliable internet connection and set your alarms for release time. Order through
GW and not a 3rd party.
Its simple. Follow those steps and you'll get it next time.
There's a kernel of truth here but the internet advice is off base. The ordering issues related to Internet were from
GW's own webserver having thousands of people concurrently trying to load the site and pre-order the item.
Sure, the server was definitely overwhelmed. I ran into the maintenance page twice, but I refreshed and thanks to a high-speed ISP I was able to recover immediately both times.
Having a good internet connection is actually a huge key to recovering through an overloaded server.
As far as those who label my post as smug or insulting... well, my common sense tells me you're a brat.
For those who didn't get a copy but still maintain their self-dignity - I really am sorry about the circumstances. You deserve to have it and I think its too bad that good folks have missed out.
Good on you for having the maturity to pull through a misfortune like this. You have my respect.
Everyone whos enraged at
GW, Dakka and/or the hobbyists that did snag a box.. you probably didn't deserve to get one in the first place.
The only reasonable group to be angry with are the scalpers.
Anyways.. I hope this does put off the bad apples from indulging in the hobby. Good riddance.
