For starters, none of us (including you) paid ANYTHING for preorder/headstart. There is nothing to refund.
"And really, slapping me with an XP bonus is just pathetic. I want to play the game. I don't want to waste my time rolling on another server when, apparently, you have ZERO plan to address a queue since everyone rolling on another server will eventually create a queue there."
Giving you an EXP bonus has nothing to do with rolling on another server. How did you even relate those two things together?
They already HAVE addressed it: Free server transfers.
Why are you even playing an M rated game? 15 Year olds aren't supposed to be on here.
So you want them to refund you, only for you to pay them again (full price) in a day? Are people just really dumb? You do realize that the money you put down for pre-orders isn't on top of the purchase price right? You have to know this, I mean you're not paying $5 extra to get the privilege of playing early. What is wrong with you people? I'm completely serious here, are you really that whiny? Do you honestly feel this self-entitled to complain about such a dumb thing? It's a head-start, it's not like the game is ending in a day and you'll never play again. No wonder no one likes America, if you're really this moany about something as dumb as this, who knows what else you're crying over in real life.
Well there in is your problem, some of us pre-ordered right from En Masse, which means we already paid the full $50.00 and yes, I would like that money back so that I can NOT play this game AT ALL. I may check it out a month or two down the road, but I do not want to invest money into a unreliable game. I can understand and accept 30 minute queues. Not 3 hours.

[filtered] kids need to grow up.
I paid $50.00 pre-order directly from En masse Digital Download, not to sure if YOUR post makes a damn bit of sense. The Reason for pre-ordering is EARLY access to have a HEADSTART... I got 1 level today, thats not much of a Head Start.

That 50 dollars you paid is for the game. Preorder means you just ordered it early. You didn't pay anything extra.
Is this the first game you've ever preordered? Ever?
That's the only way I could see why you're posting this. Either that or you're a retard.
So...you're asking for a refund from the company because there is an amazing amount of people playing their game?
Probably most of these amazing amount of people are playing the head start for free via the buddy code system.
Flaw in your theory. Open Beta weekend would've had the exact same amount of people were it actually relative to "buddy code" due to the fact it was OPEN TO THE ENTIRE PUBLIC FOR ANYONE TO PLAY - AND FREE ON THEIR WEBSITE. Not only that, but wait for it .. wait for it ... THEY TRANSFER THE CHARACTERS IF YOU PRE-ORDER TOO! :D
No but seriously. They've already made mentioned that only a small few of the characters are actually buddy codes. I could care less if it's a lot of buddy codes.
What people seem to be forgetting is this : Did you pay more in pre-order? Nah. I don't think. You paid THE SAME PRICE OF THE GAME THAT YOU WOULD HAVE PAID FOR WITHOUT THIS HEAD START ACCESS.
Guess what. Most of you saying "Oh I never would've pre-ordered" "Oh I never would've gotten this game without it" ... Bullsith. Yes I said Bullsith. Filters ftw. Anyhow, stop whining. THE GAME ISN'T RELEASED YET. They've already said they will make a decision on fixing it in the morning. That's all of 8 hours. I think you can wait 8 bloody hours to wait for them to make the decision on things and have an opportunity to play.
Now, if this is how it was on LAUNCH - at May 1st ..and it continued to last for a week and En Masse did nothing about it - yes - we have an issue. But En Masse looks like they're willing to do something about this.
Stop complaining - it wont get you anywhere. It wont make you feel any better. There's already a thread dedicated to complaining about ques. You paid the exact same amount as you would have if they didn't offer head start - and you got a lot of other working perks to go with it. Enjoy the fact that you're getting ANY time in game before launch.
I've gone through 2x 70-90 minute ques thus far + 3x 15-45 minute ques. Am I worried? No. I'm playing Guild Wars 2 while I wait or watching Game of Thrones or working on character art. You know what's awesome about this game? You can leave it RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND while the ques load up and do something else to occupy yourself. YOU'RE NOT PAYING FOR THIS HEAD START. YOU'RE NOT LOSING MONEy. YOU'RE NOT LOSING GAME TIME. YOU'RE NOT BEING HURT BY IT. Your 30 days game time will be activated on May 1st ... so seriously. Chill the heck out people.
I don't remember, did you pay any extra for the headstart, or was it free because you paid for the game before launch?( I mean you paid for the game, which will cost everyone else after may 1 the same amount to buy) soooo this is bonus time isn't it, you didn't pay for it specifically did you?

PS : You weren't around for World of Warcraft Vanilla were you?
Try 6-10 hour server ques. Try 3000-6000 people in line ahead of you. Try being on Argent Dawn and waiting all day to just crash multiple times throughout your wait in que. Yea. If you got a 350-600 person que - you were at night time obviously.
Welcome to the world of online games.
You're not getting your 50.00 back. As far as I am concerned - I've spent more on games I hated and wanted to trade in the next day than I can count. This game is not one of them. I love this game - even if I have to deal with server ques.

What does paying more or less have to do with anything? The term of the agreement was and still is, if we pre order we get "exclusive" head start access.
