For me im at 52hrs. This is like waiting 2 days in a drive through of a McDonalds because they took my money and have yet to give me my steak egg and cheese muffin. PURGE THE QUED.
It mostly irresponsible of you to not prepaid wings if you consider this as your job. And you could have connect to asia or europe to make your content. As an EU player and casual player on both other server, I finished naxxramas on asia before it was released on EU.
So if you really needed to make content why not use another area ???
Having a full team of support to say, "YOP there is too much connection you won't be able to play until people calm down and then we will be able to investigate" doesn't really help. It's better to release at 3A.M. this way you can divide your connection peak by 3 or 4 easily and probably even more.
The simultaneous release of the First wing was because it was Free !! If they did release free content on only one realm, it would have exploded. But as the second wing is not free, They know the vast majority will wait for the content to be released in their area. So they don't need to overload their server simultaneously.
It doesn't help to ask a dev team of another game to help. It's like asking for a guest to tidy your kitchen, he will just ask you for every item, "where does this go ?". If they're not a part of the dev team, they won't be able to fix issue in a reasonable time.
Still i find them irresponsible they did nothing fully sucessfull on first try since the very beginning of the game (about hearthstone). And they keep going. Because the game have so much success they're just pressured to add content and other cashflow, before the game loses its hype.
UMMM OK....I followed the rules they laid out for getting the access and saved my gold, and I'm irresponsible. Logic seems a tad off on that point.
I was able to get some content via asia, however is it so wrong to expect to be able to play with all my assets in my preferred region?
Your third point kinda back fires because even with this the system still failed, not to mention the purchasing systems are region based and not all located in one area.
I disagree with you. These teams have worked with the same funds processing system before and would have a clue of what to look for. More eyes going over code is better then less.
On my first point, for instance, you need a hammer to do your work, you buy your hammer and go to work you break it on you first use, and do not work all day because the seller wronged you. No you buy three hammer you break the first one, and go complai another day to the seller, you don't say cause of you i was out of work. That's my logic.
Not saying it's wrong to expect everything goes smoothly. But you answer to people saying it's just a game, by saying it's your work, then it's your bad if you do not ensure the case blizzard makes a mistake.
As i lived it would say that both failed..... And the second release had transaction not the first one, So people complained more when they have it for their money. Transaction are region based, yes, but that doesn't mean the transaction server are region based .... On top of that authentification server are not region based.
You're issue is not about funds processing it's about unlocking naxramas as you said your gold was gone, they did process your "funds". They did have the list of people having bought twice the wing (like me by the way), or simply people who had bought the wing. The issue here is making you account flagged as second wing bougth. And on top of that, they want to do it for every issue at the same time, and without keeping the other player to play, so using an hotfix. If you want to get a surgery you don't ask for 4 surgeons you ask or the best surgeon.
I got a refund but the order is still stuck in que so I can not make use of the hotfix and patch like some 40k other players. As for buying three hammers, that analogy is just wasteful ideology.
I'm going to start referring to Blizzard as "EA." This whole debacle has been so unbelievably ridiculous. How in the friggin hell are we still waiting for this to be fixed THREE days after the damn wing was released? The first night this happened, I understood. I chalked it up to release problems as usual. The second night, I still gave them the benefit of the doubt. Now I am just annoyed and growing to the point of being absolutely furious. To the people who have access that are trying to call the ones who don't and are complaining "impatient" or "ungrateful," please, do me a favor and punch yourself in the face. YOU would also be doing the exact same thing if the shoe were on the other foot. This is honestly unacceptable for a company as big as Blizzard to let such a problem get so out of hand. Shame on Blizzard. Fix your s***, Blizzard.

So let me get this straight. You make your living off a game and then don't pay actual money to access newly released content? I appreciate the heads up as I will never watch any of your content. Support the company that has enabled you to support yourself.
I'm not sure if it was mentioned already, but I kinda preferred having NA go last at the ungodly hour it did. Just for the simple reason that, unlike the Arachnid Quarter, The NA servers did not crash at all for me. And I never got stuck in any loops.
actually I have invested a over 150 in the game between arena and packs and that is just NA my eu I have invest 60. I have also been playing since day 1 cbt so grinding gold is was not hard. To me its like frequent flier miles I earned enough and now cant redeem them. I would pay cash right now if the system wasnt broken. Why people seem to have an issue with taking a f2p approach is beyond me. And if Im lucky the content I produce makes about 20-40 a month no where near enough to support myself.

Frequent Flyer miles. I like that. By that reasoning, I am going to petition Blizz that every other pack I pay cash for should have a legendary in it.

Come on. They need suckers.....Ahem, I mean customers like me to make all the F2Per's dreams a reality. Throw us a bone. ;)
