To anyone who was excited about the prospect of picking up Goth Annie, we’ll be looking for better ways to meet your needs as well as the needs of players who value skin exclusivity. |
GOTH ANNIE WILL NOT BE RELEASED IN THE STORE, HIPPALUS HAS CONFIRMED THIS. REJOICE GOTH ANNIE OWNERS!

-EDIT- Before you post, you need to realize the issue is not me wanting Goth Annie to be Limited Edition. The issue is she should not be sold for 975 or anything else when people have been paying for the full bundle for YEARS. If she were to be sold separately, everyone who paid the 3.9K should get a reasonable refund because she's a bundle-only skin. She has never been sold outside the bundle, and on top of that the Bundle is called the Digital Collector's Bundle. To take the collectible skin out of the bundle would be ludicrous. And on another note, Riot never stated they were even considering doing this, however people started making threads asking for it to be put INTO the store for purchase outside of the bundle, hence why I made this thread.
I AM NOT SAYING YOU SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO BUY GOTH ANNIE, I'M SAYING IT'S NOT FAIR FOR PEOPLE TO BUY HER FOR A CHEAPER PRICE OUTSIDE THE BUNDLE WHEN PEOPLE HAVE BOUGHT HER IN HER RESPECTIVE BUNDLE FOR 3.9K. DO NOT TRY TO ARGUE THAT I'M ASKING FOR IT TO BE LIMITED EDITION, THAT IS NOT THE CASE. AND I DID NOT BUY THE BUNDLE SPECIFICALLY FOR GOTH ANNIE, BUT IT WAS MY BIGGEST INCENTIVE, I BOUGHT THE PACKAGE ALMOST 1 YEAR AGO.
1/28/13 UPDATE: GOTH ANNIE IS THE FIRST ALTERNATE ANNIE SKIN TO RECEIVE A SPLASH UPDATE.

Then he writes long messages, that take at least half an hour to make, because he wants us "kids" to understand the reasoning in his choices.
I would find it extremely offensive if Goth Annie got released outside of the bundle; I worked hard to get that skin. In fact, I mainly got the pack because of the skin in the first place. I had already owned most of the champions and had little reason to get it otherwise. |

With this sort of mentality there would be no such thing as limited skins, because "Just because you were around when this skin comes out doesn't mean that other people shouldn't get a chance to buy it". Exclusive skins should not be made less exclusive just like limited skins should not be made less limited because that is part of their appeal. Part of the POINT of skins in the first place is to differentiate yourself from other players in the game, when you take part of that away of course people are going to be unhappy. |

But they shouldn't do that, because those skins were all part of a bundle deal- get the bundle or gtfo. At least you can still buy the bundle for goth annie. The others (excluding Sivir), aren't even available for 3900 RP. |

What makes you so special that you shouldn't have to pay as much as them? |

The people who owned a recolor of Annie finally get a reward for being so patient and you want to take that away from them... |

As for it being "worth" the money...I guess you've never been a collector of anything. 228 skins later, you can call me whatever you want but I'm an example of why you get to play this game for free. @OP I agree, this skin should stay bundle-only. I paid $30 for the bundle, I want recompense if it's released to the store. |

You think you should get it at a major discount while others were willing to put much more into it because they enjoyed the skin that much. Its not like they actively are trying to prevent you from getting it, they just want everyone to be on an equal level. But no, you think its ok for their money to go to waste so long as you get it cheap. |
