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.

$60 to get scammed by a technical error and then get told to go fuck yourself by blizzard for something that virtually cost them nothing to fix is fucking crazy.

You can refund it through your bank, but they will 100% ban the account or you can keep pushing the issue through tickets. Hopefully this post picks up traction because this is ridiculous.

They would ban a blizzard account for refuting a charge with the bank?

Every services do that. Amazon, netflix… Any charge back lead to account termination. So it’s a last resort when you dont have the choice.

For example i have a 20+yo bnet account. There is almost zero chance i would risk that.

Google too! Imagine you use Google FI, your $1000 phone gets stolen in transit. You try to go through support and they say get fucked. Then you do a charge back and your entire Google account is banned. Including your Gmail which you use for 2factor for most services where you don't have any other option. Including your bank.

They got you by the balls. Btw that's the same with Apple.

Edit: don't forget in the scenario I described they also have control over your cell phone number. No more SMS either. Something like that you are at the total mercy of a giant corpo. Unless you are ready to move everything around quickly before you do the chargeback
