![]() The reason for it to not work obviously is that STEAM does not like it if you buy gems without them getting a cut, so they made ArenaNet not accept them.Ģ. Why would ArenaNet "not liking" Steam to take a cut be the reason for what happened? If anything, ArenaNet should WELCOME you using any codes you bought anywhere, not stop you from it - because all the codes come from them. Why can't I buy gem codes from them directly.

Using Steam Credit cross region only allows you to send lump sums of money in your local currency, and does not account for taxes and conversion rates, meaning if you want to give someone an exact amount of something, you're forced to overpay by an unclear amount. The explicit thing I wanted to gift cannot be gifted, and disappears from the store if you buy it for yourself. The item I wanted to gift wasn't something I could gift because in what seems like typical ArenaNet fashion, my fresh account is unable to send gifts without clarification as to why. Whilst failing to clarify outside of hidden, tiny fine print buried on their website that Steam users alone cannot use this method of charging gems. They're happy to allow an influx of Steam users to potentially attempt to buy their gem keys The game just releases on Steam, and they make no effort to allow Steam users to redeem gems the exact way people with non-Steam accounts can. They've already made their money prior to the purchase. ![]() In this instance the keys are generated by ArenaNet.

Usually its the responsibility of the seller to inform you about potential restrictions, so if anything, the site you bought it from would be the scammer. ![]()
