I too use Mac And recieved the same error.Can not fix it .Tried many times.Blitzz has yet to reply or fix ??
Same problem here. Mac OS Big Sur
Yep me too, Mac OS!
Anyone have any luck. Even with the small update this morning, I’m still having the same, “The application encountered an unexpected error.” Blizzard hates Mac users? 
I also submitted a ticket so hoping they see this as an issue affecting a number of people.

It must be the World of Warcraft.app issue located in: /Application/World of Warcraft/retail/World of Warcraft.app
Anyone have the original DF WoW.app file?
I am having the same issue. I’m so annoyed. Also, mac user. Are we just being left out in the cold?!

Same here. I have a 2017 iMac. Been playing WoW on it with no problems until the new patch came out. I can log in and into character screen but once I choose a character and go into the world, after ten seconds the whole game freezes and then crashes. Thought they were doing maintenance to the game today but that just proved useless to us.

I am an iMAC user and I can’t get pass PLAY. I have been unable to log in to WOW since the maintenance took place on 24 JAN 2023. When I attempt to log in, I get an error that states “The application encountered an unexpected error”. It gives a “Report ID”, but that changes each time I try to log in.

I’ve been looking around at some other threads and found this thread which tells us how to fix the “issue”.
The fix is that we have to upgrade our older iMacs (2015 or older) to newer ones and upgrade to the Ventura O/S. Well, I for one will not be doing that. Before I read the thread above, I considered buying a gaming PC which would have cost me around $1500 with a monitor, but after reading their “fix” to upgrading to Ventura O/S, meaning I am being forced to upgrade my perfectly fine machine, I’ve decided to just cancel my subscription and will be writing Blizzard off. Good luck to you all, whatever you decide, but I for one will not “herded” or forced to play their game.

I’ve done all the this they suggest too, but I am still not able to get past the black screen with cursor then crash. Make a ticket but have gotten nothing yet.
Not all of us is running older Macs (2015 or older). And some has updated to macOS Ventura. But still receiving the issue (1st comment said it did not work).

I’m tired of Blizzard not responding to all of these complaints. I’m still not able to play after launching whether it be my Mac desktop or Mac laptop…

This is ridiculous. Im going away with friends next week and we really wanted to play WoW together… but apparently, I can’t because I use a Mac?! Come on Blizz… we just want a response. If they just said “Hey, we know this is a problem and we are working on it, and it may take a few days.” This wouldn’t be no shi**y.
