Many people who have bought are late comers to crypto. They have bought because they see it going up. They will have no idea how to register, even with guides like those produced on here. Ethereum has a more simplistic presale and the majority of buyers were crypto literate. This is a different time and different t people hold the coins!
Any EOS tokens purchased directly through the crowdsale (eos.io) website will need to be registered. EOS token bought on an exchange don't need to be registered???
My understanding is that you need to have the Ether address that holds the coins at the time of the snapshot, around 23 hours after the crowd sale ends if I recall, registered. There are instructions on eos.io.
Alternatively I expect any coins sitting on a reputable exchange will be converted for you.
EOS Tokens purchased on an exchange do need to be registered. Mine are registered. You need to use MEW or Metamask. I put mine in MEW then registered my wallet. You need ETH to register your wallet. Actually my BF did it for me but I think that's how it was done.
That makes a lot of sense... It should be like that! It would be very much appreciated if @dan himself confirms it with a reply here!!!
I think we are happy for that.. or we ? :) @dan @iamra8 @peaches88 @liondani

It would be amazing if the OPEN.EOS sitting in a Bitshares account would automatically convert. Can anyone confirm that?
I would hope so but I don't really use Bitshares very much. So maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in.
Okay I will check it out on eos.io thanks.

Okay cool thanks I have done it now with Metamask thank you.
I believe that you need to register both the ones you purchased through the crowd sale and ones traded for on an exchange.
Okay cool thanks.
That is awesome, I think the ico proces was too difficult for 95% of the people.. So a late registration process would be great
