The only reason you're mad is that you didn't get one!
Exactly! I should also add that I have spent my time furiously refreshing TBC website since the beginning; all for nothing.
I suffered from the same fate of loldudex2. I also couldn't make my order go through.
It was a giveaway to the early birds, no different than snagging an early bird deal on a Kickstarter project. The lower tiers always go first because more people can afford them - and it was a LIMITED EDITION, SOLD-OUT deck on the lowest tier, man! We're lucky that any at all were offered.
The difference between this kind of sale and a Kickstarter early-bird is that Amazon servers won't let you down.
I think it was a really bad choice from The Blue Crown to have a limited stock for their tier prizes considering that a lot of people will have trouble completing their orders in time - not because they were not fast enough, but due to a issue with TBC's own website.
And yes, I know it's all freebies they were giving, still, not being able to grab yours when you have dedicated your time to it - well, that is VERY disappointing, and that's bad business.
But Amazon's servers won't be enough if someone "early-birds" the last early-bird before you, while you're trying to get yours.
TBC's site wasn't the issue so much as it was Magento, their payment processor.
Trust me, I used to think along the same lines as you, but seriously, EVERYTHING being offered is a limited resource, even the decks for sale. "Not being able to grab yours?" It's not yours until the sale is completed, and it's given as a gift - it's not as if you paid for it and purchased it, so your sense of entitlement is mislaid.
Limited number of decks, larger number of buyers - what else do you think's going to happen? If you try buying a Red Lux deck the moment after they're sold out, will you have the same disappointment and feeling of entitlement?
