Yeah⌠this is the kind of stuff that makes giving blizz my money so annoying. I spent quite a bit of gold (gold that i bought with REAL MONEY through tokens mind), to buy enough of those enchantments for all my current and some future toons, and whatever the devil advocates out there may say, its an easy trap to fall into. First of all, I have used those enchants in the past without an issue, second, Even though the item is virtually useless now, IT IS STILL IN GAME.
I get that oversights are a thing, and I pride myself on being a reasonable person, but Iâm guessing this has been a problem since the Expac launched almost a year ago, and as Dawn said, the issue has been pointed out. youâd figure that they would have made sure by now players are not burning thru a ton of gold for no good reason by now. Iâve seen those items go for thousands a pop at the AH.
I remember when blizz used to care about providing great service. Donât get me wrong, there were unhappy players then too. But then, I was an advocate. Then it was more of a, canât make everyone happy sort of thing, rather than the no one at blizz gives a crap feel that we have now. It might be surprising for newer players to believe, but back then, you used to be able to open a ticket, and within a couple of hours at the very very worst, find yourself talking to a real life GM. Most of the times i was talking to someone within 15 mins.
Over the last 13 years there has been a shift. A shift from blizz providing the best game they could built on top of great service, to sweatshop type tactics to increase profits. Which is the root cause of most of the woes with WoW today, IMO ( yeah i Punned⌠sue me) .
I have been paying for this game on and off since 2006/2007 through different accounts (mostly on, even if i wasnât actually playing much), and i have encountered issues like this A LOT over the years of blizzards customer service decay. So yeah⌠this is my âline in the sandâ moment. Iâm going to sit tight till the next patch, and if I get no feedback or fix from blizz by then, I am cancelling for good. Might sound like a lot, but i care about this game. Due to the social aspect and the drive to achieve system the game is built on, you cant help but get attached. I am not going to reward bad customer care with my money however, none of us should. I figure if enough players rage quit on 'em they may revert back to providing a good service for the players that pay for the game, either that or, the game tanks and Bobby Kotick gets fired⌠thatâd be fun to see too.
