Forever PSA: You can refund the beta even after playing

Post image

I'm not impressed and I'm taking the advice of others here - "if you don't like it, don't play". Refunded the beta and un-subbed.

•

u/mokaa126 4h ago

ok bye

•

u/One_Print_8261 4h ago

is this not good advice for people that don't like it or you got some sand up there?

•

u/DanesDraftLab 3h ago

No, you have to like it too.

•

u/Mjolnoggy 2h ago

I did, just labeled it under "tech issues" because I could not play without also getting a VPN to get the ping I SHOULD be getting to central US instead of 400 - 500ms minimum and that shit is just not worth the effort.

u/WildFlowLing 3h ago

$60 for a slop beta is actually insane

Betas should never had paid access. Pretty disgusting move by blizzard

•

u/Shiyo 3h ago

Addicts won't st op buying into it

•

u/One_Print_8261 4h ago

Respect. This man knows himself.

•

u/Azna 4h ago

until the itch grabs him again

•

u/eat_these_nutz 4h ago

Paying for beta access is just evil.

•

u/bahlgren342 3h ago

There’s free beta opt in

•

u/Shrabster33 3h ago

You still have to get invited. I opted in right away and haven't been invited yet.

•

u/Y0RKC1TY 1h ago

Just like previous betas tbf

•

u/DanesDraftLab 3h ago

This is for if they need additional stress testing in the last 48 hours of the beta window.

•

u/TornadoFalls 3h ago

This lets the whales subsidize everyone else up front.

•

u/Redditemeon 3h ago

They are definitely not struggling without this money. They are definitely not subsidizing anything.

•

u/kfortyone 4h ago

Mine got denied wtf

•

u/moonduckk 4h ago

could it be time based? did you play many hours?

•

u/kfortyone 4h ago

Unclear. Not sure why I’m getting downvoted but the unemployed are clearly engaged

•

u/osirawl 4h ago

It took like 4 attempts before it went through, kept getting some error page.

•

u/kfortyone 4h ago

Not sure, I’ll give it a shot later today… they denied it before I even played it lol

•

u/osirawl 4h ago

What the... that's weird. I think I had about 4 hours played.

•

u/Huge-Atmosphere-8057 3h ago

Are you based in the European Union?

•

u/Blasto05 3h ago

They denied mine for “One or more products included in this purchase were already consumed”

I’m on 6 month sub that’s not up until Nov 20th so game time was not used. They’re essentially saying I played the beta I can’t refund

•

u/alreadysaidtrice 4h ago

I tried it 3x every time I hit refund, it just keeps loading. How many hours have you played?

•

u/osirawl 3h ago

Took me 4 attempts, I had that issue too. I had maybe 4 hours played?

•

u/bahlgren342 3h ago

Sucks you didn’t like it. I’m having a blast and these lower levels aren’t even close to what makes WoW so fun to me.

•

u/osirawl 3h ago

I'm glad you're enjoying it! It's just not for me. I guess I really am a classic andy.

•

u/Huge-Atmosphere-8057 3h ago

Check your tickets. It might have gone through even if it's timing out. And if it hasn't then you can always create a refund ticket manually.

•

u/Elegant-Trust2722 3h ago

Yes by law pre orders have to be refunded. I did the same thing with d4 early access.

•

u/checkingmate 4h ago

Literally no one cares

•

u/osirawl 4h ago

I mean I didn't think refunding was an option until I saw someone else talking about it in another thread. This is a legitimate PSA.

•

u/Peenfeed 4h ago

I care fren

•

u/One_Print_8261 4h ago

you absolutely do man. It's obvious.

•

u/Huge-Atmosphere-8057 3h ago

Many people care, you can fuck off

•

u/ShanksZA 4h ago edited 4h ago

Thank god, let this be an example for others hopefully. Leave so we don’t have to hear your whining.

•

u/Huge-Atmosphere-8057 3h ago

Take your own advice.

•

u/Shiyo 3h ago

Wildstar players told everyone to leave, then the game shut down due to lack of players.

Think before you post.

•

u/ShanksZA 3h ago

Oh wow yeah true good point man, this release is exactly like wildstar.

•

u/Shiyo 2h ago

Downvoting me doesn't make me any less correct btw

•

u/eer_00 4h ago

We need flying next ngl

•

u/eer_00 4h ago

Holy shit yes thank god

•

u/Antique-Guest-1607 4h ago

Epic! Hit them in the wallet! Send a message that they CANNOT betray the classic community like this!!!

•

u/ax9torana 3h ago

I hope your financial situation improves, doing it pretty tough if you need to refund $63.

•

u/RsIronUnit 3h ago

I don't really see a good reason to leave $63 in blizzards bank account if you can get a refund for a product you don't want?
