    Unfair for Europeans

    I came across the blue post on here that allowed us to obtain Alliance and Horde shirts for our Xbox Live Avatars and thought that it was awesome. But the advert did not appear on my dashboard so I thought it wasn't out yet. I decided to login with my US gamertag and surprise surprise, the advert is there. After clicking on the advert to see if I can get the shirts, I then see that it is account specific. So yet again Europe gets to miss out on collecting something because it is only available for the US, even though the game is world wide.

    My point is as follows. Why offer something for WoW players to obtain on the Xbox and only allow people from the US to obtain it? It seems like people from the EU always get to miss out on offers like this and its just unfair.

    It seems to me you're just complaining for the sake of complaining. You don't get to have a t-shirt for a fake avatar thing. The world will end! D:

    The world isn't going to end because I can't obtain one. I just think that its unfair that the US gets all the offers whilst the EU is left behind. Its not just mindless complaining, there is a point.

    Doesn't EU get to play the expansions early? Don't see us complaining about that.

    What about the china only golden pig pet? Different promotions happen in different parts of the world. It sucks I know, but it is pretty standard, and it isn't always the US.

    The point is: Life is unfair. Get over it.

    I was going to respond to something of the same manner. EU gets to play the game a good, what is it, 6 hours? 9 hours? something like that, earlier than US realms. So the world first top level just about is always guaranteed to go to someone overseas than it would here in America. If anything should be complained, it's that Playstation Home users aren't getting a virtual shirt for their avatars as well. But I don't play around with Home or Xbox Live, so I wouldn't be missing out on anything anyway. :P

    They get it long enough to have Athene get world first max level before US even gets to 10 PM.
