CE physical copy - possible, yet expensive work around for steam issue?

Hmmm, I purchased ARR through Steam, and Mogstation doesn't have it flagged as being a Steam account, just Windows.

I don't think it actually flags it visually. The flag is, from what I can gather, the code that's attached to the account. Steam codes are probably a different format from normal PC codes.

So the only way really... is to buy the physical CE separately (ouch) and then buy the standard steam version of Heavensward?

Wouldn't that keep you from getting the in-game CE items? You'd need to buy a CE Steam version too to get the griffin and such, wouldn't you?

Oh boo. I wonder how I could work that out? Or I could just go the expensive and convoluted route of buying the physical CE, and see if I can trade the physical CE code to someone in return for the Steam CE code. Blergh.
