Sorry buddy, as much as started disliking Blizzard thanks due the Nost shutdown, I'll have to side with them on this one.

As far as I understand, you have purchased a bundle; the entire game, everything since classic and every expansion up to WoD, plus access to Legion. So you have already played through a majority of what you purchased - of course you're not entitled to a refund there anymore. That'd be a bit like ordering a meal, eating most of it, and then trying to send it back after you've finished most of it already. Or ordering a new computer, and after a year deciding to send back the DVD drive only because you haven't used it yet.
If a company is super really extremely above-average friendly, they might accept it voluntarily, but there's absolutely no obligation too, and most businesses in practice would most certainly act the same way in such a situation.

I very much welcome everyone trying to cancel their preoders after the Nost shutdown, financial consequences are the only thing they might understand in the end. But in that particular combination, their reaction is pretty much business standard.

You buy a bundle then ask for a partial refund for something in the bundle. Bundles do not work this way. They are all or nothing, and once you've played/activated "anything" in the bundle, a company doesn't have to refund anything. At this point, they're just being generous.

@Crossbreed and @Drain

Are you two addressing your comments to me? If so you may be suffering from comprehensive blindness because I clearly remember posting "A week ago I requested a refund, and CSR refunded my preorder." My preorder was refunded.

My comment was really about the doofus on the video that you linked. And I guess the bogus message you made about there being a moratorium on refunding Legion preorders since the video was really a different animal.

Don't spread misinformation, like you have in your title.

Again, I come back to comprehension blindness because the title of this thread is "Blizzard may be stopping Legion preorder cancellations". I distinctly remember using the word "may" to mean possibility.

A week ago I requested a refund, and CSR refunded my preorder. Now it looks like they've put a moratorium on cancelling preorders. This seems very shady.


Looks like you bought a bundled package, used part of the content, and are asking for a refund for part of the package (Legion) that you didn't use? Geez, c'mon guy.

BTW, who preorders Bliz expansions after what they did with WoD and the lack of content?


I don't get this either, people complain all the fucking time about Blizzard and WoW (and other companies), but they still preorder every expansion that comes out. This behaviour is why gaming companies get away with this shit. How about putting your money where your mouth is, which is not in Blizzard's pockets.


And that's also why general boycotts are usually ineffective. Boycotts only work if you're boycotting something that alot of people won't buy anyway. Or if it would have a significant impact. You can't expect people to just "go along with you because its the right thing to do". People are motivated by self interest, no matter how much we want them to act otherwise.

This is where De Maistre's famous quote comes from.
It doesn't only apply to governments or politics, but to generic normal things like purchased products. If people are fed shit, it means they enjoy gobbling on it.

It's misleading when you base it on inappropriate things like the video.
