blizzard is able to track the expiration time of my subscription down to the minute and second, surely they can comp us time the realms will be unavailable for play, especially when there are 8 hour outages of service for multiple consecutive weeks in a row

I’ll do it for them; expect a few pennies in the mail.

im not looking for a few pennies, but if they are able to track the exact expiration times down to the minute of subs, then they can take into account when they are doing an 8 hour all realms down maintenance and add that time on to the existing sub time remaining.
I can never tell if people are serious or not in these forums.
My little yellow message still says 3pm PST.

Never take Rasta seriously. Ever. lol
We love our resident troll and we pat him on the head, but that’s his shtick to give misinformation to make people flip out. XD

I wonder if you bothered to do the math before publicizing your whining.
We’re talking a pennies.

sir its patch day - this is normal.
So do you want the pennies or not? Each hour of playtime in a thirty month subscription period is barely over two cents, so eight hours would equate to less than two dimes.

Just like every other corporation in America… all about making money (honest or dishonest), will ALWAYS notify you when you owe, but we aren’t allowed to mention when it’s the other way around.

Your subscription is not an hourly based format. You pay for access to play during the month. This has been asked for years and they never compensate. You are asking for pennies on the dollar.
K. I’m coming back to this when someone says, “You pay for access to the servers. And that’s it.”
By the TOS, they can just do an infinite maintenance and still charge you.
They would too, if they could legally get away with it.

They literally could get away with it, because you signed the EULA that states Blizzard can do whatever they want with their game, and by signing it you have no legal recourse.
The nastier and greedier corporations get, the likelier it gets that enough people will be upset that laws will change.
China already banned loot boxes, I think. And we’re on the road to getting that everywhere because it’s scummy and right now they don’t have to be transparent about odds.
Laws already changed with the credit card companies having meaningless garble in their agreements. And I’m not positive but I think, “We can do whatever we want, including change these terms at any time” is already legally out. For a TOS to be valid you have to be agreeing to something specific.
So for example, they can’t sell you a “no annual fee” and then have you agree to a blanket TOS that lets them do whatever they want and then add an annual fee. If they’re going to add an annual fee the next year they have to make that explicit.
