Alright I have to think this is on purpose now but two days ago I had the panic of seeing “4 Hours” left on my sub, went and pulled all my auctions down, got ready to close up shop only for the next day for me to see “4 Days” as the ACTUAL sub termination date.
Ok once is weird but whatever right?
Well now my launcher says:
“Your subscription expires on June 20, 2023, 11:28 AM.”
The important factor is intent. It sounds like an error or bug. You’re implying malicious intent. Turn down your drama meter from eleven to about five.
For people who use subscriptions (as I’d be willing to bet most do), it wouldn’t even add game time until the actual game time is coming to an end.
I get that you want to make some drama for the clicks, and that you’ll likely believe your own theory anyway, but it’s just a bug and it only effects a very few number of people.
If you’re not aware of the bug, this can be surprising and a little concerning. Understandable. If you haven’t already, I suggest tossing a note in the bug report forum (or perhaps bumping one already there? haven’t looked) to help make sure Bliz knows this is still a bug, but it doesn’t hurt to help bring more attention to it. I’m 99% sure they know it’s still ongoing, but posting is the general course of action when you find a bug.
It seems there are a number of “bugs” that are hotfixed on live, but never get fixed in the working code. The next patch the “bug” comes back. I see this as a failure of QA more than anything.
