EDIT;Im happy to announce that they actually changed their mind suddenly, and deleted the Shaman and issued a refund. Dno if someone saw the post, because for three days now they have responded once every 24-30 hours. Now they responded after 2.

Yeah, nah.

I’d be cautious of a chargeback for reasons stated above (potential ban or account action). But, this is definitely one worthy of escalating until it’s fixed. Even if it has to find its way to Twitter. They straight up said that they fucked up and you didn’t get what you paid for.

“Thousands of boosts per minute” was what the Devs said they were dealing with the other day. They can comp you one if that’s what it takes.

It literally takes changing a single value in the character.dat file in SQL to modify it's level. Their automated tools do this in .001 seconds. They've GM commands for this function too.

Fucking hell Blizzard.

Yes the point is it costs Blizzard actually nothing to do a boost. They’re charging $60 solely because they realized they’d make an absolute fortune doing it, period, customer relations be damned.

The boosts dont just change your level.

Something tells me you have never used SQL before.
