Today (like many other days) I’ve been camping a rare spawn for a final part of an achieve. Whilst flying the route I noticed 3 x lvl 20 druids botting (XP turned off so they don’t level). I reported them 5 times over the day and they still are botting. I’ m not saying where or what server as Blizzard should do their jobs, we pay ££ for it.
The last patrol I did I saw them kill the rare I had spent a long time waiting for. They are just running around in bear, stuck to each other, using swipe.
Now we are not allowed to say any words that may offend but botting is acceptable.
I therefore request a refund of my Dragonflight pre-order minus the game time they will say has been used even though I pay monthly for the game time.
I spend money on tokens so this isn’t just £9.99 p/m they are losing out on.
I haven’t felt like a “valued” customer for a long time now. Pushing out recycled content etc.
Just like when people tried refunding in other expansions. For him to get game time that means he unlocked heroic or elite.
Due to using the given toys and gametime. Its actually considered a used product. As you bought a bundle.
The only way your getting a refund is if you tell your bank to backcharge. I.e tear the money out of process.
However. This will immediately perma ban you in the process. So i guess decide your fate.
You call it rare ban wave, however it isnt.
The thing is, theres no point in banning a botter unless you know how to stop the program. A company often long term wise is better off allowing the bot to run until theyve established the code.
Then ban wave the code.
The problem alot of people dont reliese is, they will just immediately rewrite the code and then activate a new account.
Botting is a endless battle and no games gotten control of it.
Ffxiv has been targetted worse then WoW as the major gw2 bot / hacks / gold / content selling company as been removed from gw2 and has announced moving to FFXIV.
If you have opened the mount box, toy box or used sub time. Yoy have legally used the product im afraid.
Alot of people demanded a refund back in BFA prior its launch they were all shot down
The only time its worked is when SL was delayed, blizzard offered refunds based on failure to meet a set deadline.
And once again people are trapping themselves in the exact same pre-order loop. In 2022, it’s not even the devs fault anymore.
You obviously didn’t figure out the game’s issues yesterday, nor that Blizzard barely gives any crap about botting, yet you pre-ordered the next expansion, even though you have such a huge issue with it that you want a refund. At least be mindful enough to only buy something if you really want it instead of buying xy ultimate super edition, which are usually non refundable traps, while your issues with the game existed for years.
I think it’s a case by case basis and it was early enough into the pre-purchase window.
It’s not guaranteed.

Success! Please allow up to 5-10 business days for the refund to process.
Be aware that this refund was made as an exception, and future refunds are not guaranteed.
They’ve been running for literal years though… at what point do we agree that Blizz aren’t actively paying attention?
And this is exactly why you should only pre-order if you want the mount, pet, toys, or other cosmetics right now today and don’t want to wait. Never pre-order for some sort of future good or show of loyalty.
Blizz don’t need your “support” because they’ve got your sub. If you have any doubt at all (and frankly we should all have buckets of doubt), don’t pre-order a game until you’ve seen the quality and feel confident in the support teams behind it. That’s how you help ensure the quality is good; by not handing over any money until it’s proven.
ofcourse they have, because the second part of my statement. these People are employed to be able to continously change the coding to manuever around blizzard, we seem to forget. this isnt a Average Joe Designing a program thats managing to somehow work.
this is a company. Employed Just like blizzards employees to retain their farmers inside the game effectively.
the only way they can actually completely prevent botting in WoW is Alike some other games movements, Install a Guard which loads in the background of the game which physically disables 3rd party programs.
however, these are known to ban u for having any hacks / cheats active on any other game Outside of battlenet (I.E a Age of empires Mod) and would block addon use entirely. so would Directly impact the playerbase + Have been known due to attaching packets to the Data link between us and blizzards servers will Cause Performance problems.
HOWEVER, playing the games thats used these. i’d rather bots exist in the game Before dealing with the side issues these sorts of Pre-emptive guards require. We’ve seen by classic. maknig silly changes which Damage everyone for the sake of preventing one evil is not a good solution.
the problem here is ur missing the catagory of:
Going to play it regardless. if u are a Player looking for a MMORPG. you dont have Limitless options im afraid, WoW is one of the only bastions for a Decent gameplay MMORPG on the market.
SL. i garuntee over 3/4s of the players who demanded Refunds. Repurchased SL by now, just like i garuntee the people who are refunding dragonflight will rebuy the game on its launch.
Where are u going to go?
FFXIV? well their Content cycles for anything above Story are tiny. if ur looking for a Open World game with housing and proffessions Sure its great and its awesome for its Deep story. but Theres barely any Progressive content. its a Raid logging game for anyone looking for actual content. not to mention if ur looking for PvP great, it doesnt exist in FFXIV. not in a competitive state atleast.
GW2? Raidings Dead, PvP is Dead, Games direction is Wobbly, playerbase is Small, Lacks Difficulty in almost all of its content including most of its Raids… lots of Dead systems with no proper dungeons existing.
ESO? Game servers are terrible, Existing game breaking bugs the company state they cant fix, Animation cancelling makes gameplay weird. No verticle progression alike GW2. Everything on RNG Effects provided by armour Sets… ur going to feel like playing a Doubled Down BFA With their Set pieces realistically. not to mention its Cryohill the big Server wide PvP is a Lagfest where its so bad u cant even use abilities during bigger fights.
Anything beyond this Point are either Heavily p2W with niche Whale populations or Dying games without much content to do.
due to the nature of WoW. if ur intendingto keep playing WoW, u have no choice but to buy that expansion and blizzard already know this, they know theres very little option outside of this game on the market right now, they know None of them offer the quantity of content alike WoW. and they know effectively if ur a M+ Player or alike. u dont have another option.
Even without Pre-ordering. they’ve already counted u among their sales im afraid.
well goodluck to wherever u going to go, i quit in SL for over a year. i’ve ended up back here. I have no recommendations of where to go other then quitting the MMORPG Genre completely… or seeing if FFXIV can last u . depending on the type of player u are.
If you want to file a complaint or request a refund, Blizzard’s support page is the place to go. This is how you do it:
Go to the [ContactSupport] page for the World of Warcraft
Choose the Payments category on the left side
Press the Refunds button
Provide additional information and submit your refund request
If you want to go into greater detail, you can press the I would rather describe the issue button located below the categories. You will receive an email from Blizzard once they’ve processed your request .
i will say though, if ur going to refund. Dont be that guy who then tries to rebuy the game, for something to happen and the purchase options go down on the release week for a extended time. then start going nuts on the forums because u cant rebuy the game alike those who did this in SL.
P.S
side warning - If u have boosted a character, it’ll grey out and Demand u buy a boost seperately for reaccess, there was also some who started going nuts because they lost their “new main”. lol
