Playing Dracthyr Evoker before receiving purchased Dragonflight Collector's Edition?

Hello there!

I’m a bit worried I will miss out on the option to play the new Dracthyr Evoker in the pre-patch. My Dragonflight CD key will come with the Collector’s Edition I purchased of the Blizzard Gear Store, probably meaning that I won’t be able to use any of the digital items or even make a Dracthyr early at all, like everyone else?

There’s a sticky saying that if you buy a digital version you’ll get compensated with Battle.net balance once you add the CE’s code to your account.

Whether you find this satisfactory or not it’s up to you.

Hmm so there’s no way to get actual money back into my bank account instead of only being able to buy Blizzard products with it?

Blizzard only offers you Battle.net Balance credit indeed.
