Congratulations on NOT being transparent, GGG. This would cost you nothing.

It's kind of just common sense though. It says "past" purchases. If they were going to count these supporter packs in those past purchases, then surely there would be a note on the 480 pack stating that you would get an extra key from it if you weren't already at 480 before buying the pack.

If you're a new player with zero purchases, of course you're going to want to know that the 480 pack gives you an additional key because you might want to give it to a friend. They can't assume you're going to read the FAQ. They would have definitely made that clear on the pack itself to avoid a ton of e-mails asking for refunds from friend groups who purchased an extra key by mistake.

I agree it could have been more clear but if you weren't sure you should have asked first.

Your proof is an addition to the post, most likely caused by thousands of questions and tickets.

If you've purchased a top-tier supporter pack for $480 USD in the past or have spent $480 USD or more in lifetime purchases in Path of Exile on a single platform

"

Your valid purchases will include any purchase that was made with dollars

This part's never changed as far as I know. If someone asked if I've spent $480, I'd assume it would be up to the point it was asked. They have a similar policy, where supporter pack upgrades require points to be purchased after their release. People just jump to conclusions.

Except that part is also applicable to future purchases. The "have spent" in a grammatical sense does not apply the way you think it does. If you'd spend $480 now, you'd still have spent it within the lifetime of the game, as that statement is applicable for as long as the game is playable. Whoever wrote that section messed up, simple as that.

They don't. They're entitled.

ooof so GGG doesn't practice literalism? isn't this game designed around it?
RIP GGG, time to re-roll

I keep wanting to believe people like this don't exist, and most of the "troll" seeming posts are just that...but I'm slowly realizing that people are just actually like this.

Present perfect tense would apply up until to the moment it was asked/said, hence the time limit of EA packs' release which was the moment that post was made.

to give GGG some leeway, i believe that they FORGOT to word it that way.

this change will affect some players so they were like fuckit lets hope no one gets affected.

if you truly are unhappy with this change you could message GGG support and i m pretty sure they will allow a refund since its not too long ago
