Shop boost in WoW Cata issue due to changes by developers

Hi,

Yesterday (Feb 20th, 2025) I’ve purchased a WoW Classic Cataclysm character boost to level 80. 2 to 3 hours later a shop update released 1) A new boost to level 85; 2) A whole MoP pack which includes the boost and provides a lot of other bonuses.

The issue here is that, I really didn’t get my moneys worth. I’d understand if that “update” was communicated prior, or it would have happened a week or even a day ago - but it didn’t. It was literally a few hours difference, again WITHOUT any input that this will be happening from any of the teams in Blizzard.

I’ve tried reaching out to support to get a refund - denied. Then I tried asking if there are any other ways to resolve this so I would actually get my moneys worth (just boost the char from 80 to 85 or let me spend some buck on top so I could get an upgrade) - nope, denied.

I’m not sure how many of the people fell for this, but this is legit could have been avoided completely by just announcing a few days prior or solving the issues with people who got into this situation in the end.

There’s a small part of me that hopes this will get resolved one way or another, and that in the end, there are still Developers in there caring for their gaming community through out.

Yup, Im here waiting for MoP and thought I’d prepare my characters, bought a boost to 80 a week ago only to see that its now a boost to 85 and a MoP preparation pack in shop.

Ofcourse the support does nothing about it, and I could be getting a lot better value for my money. I wish they’d at least acknowledge it and do something about it, because its very anticlimatic.

That’s just mind blowing man. Like this whole situation for any of the players involved would have been avoided if they would have just announced it at least a few days before. All the people would have bought the $80 packs or just straight up 85 boost instead of spending 10s of hours for leveling once again.

I just hope that there’s more people like us and this will be heard and solved by any means. At this point, idc if it’s a refund to re-purchase the pack or just straight up “level up” from 80 to 85 so that we just would have actual value we wanted in the first place.
