Thanks! I guess I figured people meant some form of communication on the forums, like the actual blue post. Silly me, I guess it was great communication after all!
That really ought to have been in the actual blue post that gets cross posted to every news site instead of a footnote in the hotfixes. I stand by it being very poorly communicated.

I love how you say this, and follow it up immediately with your assumption. The level of self-awareness…

The main point of the post was that they only provided less than 24 hours notice and changed the amount needed for lvl 3 essences. It’s total nonsense. Not everyone checks the forums or wowhead everyday.

Aviela I’m still waiting on the blue post you mentioned, can you clarify?
Like Swalsh said: reading is hard.
That would have been ideal, I agree.
But I never said anything contrary to that. Are you wondering whether I read the blue post’s note to spend echoes? Because that was in my OP already.
Which part didn’t I read in the blue post, I’d love to see it.
It was a very short notice, not everyone is refreshing the forums 24/7. I am, but not everyone.

The problem is that this only helps if you read this post before the change happens, and they gave WAY too little notice for the typical player. I got my essences, so I’m fine, but this short notice isn’t good communication. But, I do appreciate that it’s communication at all. I remember when that was difficult to get from Blizz.
I mean, why did they change the price for the essences anyways? What’s the big deal if alts can get their essences a little faster than before at the end of the damn expansion. They’re still gonna need corruptions on top of that.
This was a very poorly thought out change.

I have a hunch that Aviela didn’t really read the actual OP (or maybe even the blue post) and just wanted to jump in and sound cool.
Oh well
The coming week, he said. This means that it’s not guaranteed that the corruption update rolls out today.
From what I remember, the update allowing us to buy essences also wasn’t rolled out on reset.
That sentence is describing the entire blue post. It doesn’t at all imply things will roll out at different times, in fact it implies the opposite, referring to the entire post as a single “update” that will be “rolled out”
Both of you are correct, it would’ve been good if they put the news in the launcher or something similar.

So then why did some people (up to date on the forums) know that Corruptions wouldn’t be updated on reset day exactly and you didn’t?
Because it was in a hotfix note.
Reading this thread is probably hard though.
Nope. I never read the hotfix notes Lull provided in this thread and yet I knew. If you read through the blue’s original thread other people knew too. This sounds like a you problem, at least other players have the excuse of not being up to date on the forums like Anasi and Xeth said. You are up to date and you still didn’t get the hint, that’s rough 
Explanation was fine, communication wasn’t really there as the execution was awful.

“In the coming week” isn’t the same as “with tomorrow’s reset” and I’m pretty disappointed that the prices for the essences have been jacked up already. I had a couple of characters that could have purchased essences if I’d known that 17 hours notice was all there was going to be.
Somehow, I’m just not surprised by this type of thing from Blizzard anymore though.
