82 [151ST] Davey77 Member 120 posts 3,127 battles Report post #1 Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) So WG. You have announced on the forums of a refund for Santa crates. The forums are only a small portion of the gaming customers on WOW's. The advertisement in the armory/prem shop are unchanged with no new information regarding the true way Christmas loot boxes function. You know, the information that was left out because it was "too lengthy for the advertisement". On the one hand the crates are still being sold to the uninformed customer base. While on the other hand the informed customer base are having their money refunded. Anyone spot what's wrong with this picture??? Anyone at all???

It's not hard to look up information on this game, and what are the current events in play. If they choose to be uninformed, that's their fault, not WG's..... 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imbalance of responsibility that you're assigning here. WeeGee not responsible for trying to scam customers with dishonest messaging they broadcast on every channel they have available. Scammed customers responsible for hunting down the admission WeeGee made in order to see what recourse they have. What you're saying is players are responsible for their naivety but WG not responsible for its disingenuity. Poor form. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes. Players are responsible for being uninformed. WG is not responsible for them not trying to source information...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And its not even naivety, no one did anything except read WeeGee's marketing as they communicated it. That's not being uninformed, that's being lied to.

That's not being uninformed, that's being lied to. Of course they are to blame. I didn't say they were not. And this is why they have offered a refund to players. I'm just stating that some players will not see this offer of a refund, as they are either oblivious to the forums or are not interested in finding out about the information, and where it is posted. I do hope that WG does post this refund offer on all it's interfaces, so that all players can take it up if they want to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also based on their wording in the forum/reddit post I see no indication they're actually going to do something about it. If they were going to do something that would get approval, they'd be the first to tell you... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No update, no new description, Loot boxes still for sale without even a notice on servers about gating system. Tick tock the refund time is running out. WG back to Scamming business as usual.....
