Shadowbringers Code

[Peyglo]

But, can someone please explain to me the idiocy of having a separate key? I mean, you've been playing early access, you put one key in, so you OBVIOUSLY bought the thing... Why the hell is this even necessary?

It's not necessary, literally every other MMO has you log into your account to buy the expansion and it's automatically set up for you, and most don't even bother with codes. The preorder code should have set up early access, given us the bonus items, immediately unlocked the previous expansions and automatically set the account up for launch with no further player interaction required.

But for some reason interacting with SE online is hopelessly convoluted, managing your account is like playing a puzzle game before you get to the title you actually bought.
