Update:
Got a reply from my own Blizzard ticket…useless. Not only is this not an internet issue, a few of the links in their generic, canned response are dead links (why they prohibit from posting in the forum)
Thanks Blizzard!

UPDATE 2:
I’m still pending response from Blizzard on my refund request for the boost. I’ll eat the time put in to level, but I’m not eating the boost cost.
Still no talents over here. I completed the embassy quests from out front of Org after boosting, then competed the Visage form quest. My chat window notified me that I unlocked talents, yet nothing ever showed up.
Bugs happen within any software/ coding driven environment, but the way Blizzard handles these reports (or rather, lack of handling) is frustrating as a long term player. Seems to get worse every year.
