Springblossom Tree Price Adjustment and Refund

On March 5, the Springblossom Tree was released for purchase with an incorrect price. We quickly moved to take the tree out of the shop and fix this mistake.

The price of the tree was adjusted from 750 to 250 Hearthsteel, and the Spring Blossom Decor Pack was fixed to provide three trees per purchase.

We have identified all players who purchased the tree or the pack before our adjustment, and we will soon provide them with two additional trees (per purchase of the pack) and a refund of Hearthsteel equal to the difference in price (per purchase of a single tree).

Thank you to all who provided valuable feedback on this.

Rest assured, if I don’t get said refund in a few days, I will contact the support :smiley:

Is 750 a lot? It sounds like a lot. Should probably be reduced to 25, not 250. Congratulations to Blizzard for successfully finding people willing to pay the initial amount I guess.

Yeeeah I call BS.

You intentionally do these things and feign “issues” when it’s met by outcry.

You literally do this crap all the time, then pretend you listened to feedback to lower whatever. “Hero syndrome” comes to mind…

A mistake? Not buying that excuse. More likely testing the water to see how many would pay 750…

How does a famous painter said, and i mean not the austrian one, “Happy Little Accidents” happens. He also liked trees.

You guys are some of the biggest liars and hypocrites on this planet.

Housing items tied to core fantasies of a player’s race or class, or that already exist in Azeroth, won’t be sold in the shop. Thematically important decor that players know and love will also not appear in the shop.

Yet Easter is an event within World of Warcraft which you locked the only available thematically items behind a shop.

Costs in the shop are clearly defined. The ratios of Hearthsteel to real money are fixed and easily understood at a glance. You should be able to obtain an amount that makes sense for the purchases you want to make.

Lol

Similarly, the costs of items are designed to align with Hearthsteel offer amounts in a player-friendly way. Buying Hearthsteel at the amount you want lets you purchase the items you want without requiring you to think about which packs should be added together to minimize leftovers

Lmao

  • Spring Blossom Gazebo - 800 HearthsteelSpring
  • Blossom Hanging Chair - 250 Hearthsteel

Hearthsteel is sold in packs of 100, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000, 10,000.

Oh what a shame, those two items cost 1050 Hearthsteel, I don’t see a way to purchase Hearthsteel without having leftovers, what was it that you guys promised? Oh right.

Costs in the shop are clearly defined. The ratios of Hearthsteel to real money are fixed and easily understood at a glance. You should be able to obtain an amount that makes sense for the purchases you want to make.

I can’t wait until this is made illegal. Hopefully the EU is closily watching you, Microsoft. Bunch of liars.

Or you can go and arrest people in blizzard HQ :dracthyr_nod: and bring them to goldshire jail :melting_face: if refund is delayed

Probably an ai messed up in some server :pensive_face:

These politicians are already in most of these companies pockets and paychecks .they always leave loopholes and stuff that can be exploited .

Translation:

We tested how greedy we could be.
We got caught and reverted our plan.
We will compensate our target audience to make it look like an accident, but we found the gullible price point.

Thank you for your understanding

Plenty of companies have done stuff like this for years.

BDO has had housing prices like this since 2016

Blizzard is just joining the fold now to see what they can get away with.

Blizzard are you lying ? “Items in Housing bundle are also available individually as standalone offers.”

The Lush Garden Treillis from Lush Garden Decor Pack is not even available individually at the moment so we are “forced” to buy the whole pack to get it. Is it intended or just a mistake ?
