I feel entitled to a refund of the money that I have paid since I signed up. This is clearly a breach of contract.
threads started to bash someone's views usually ends up in an argument about such views.
I feel you started this thread just to encourage more QQ and flame which directly contradicts "I try to stay out of nonsense like this"
You'd be right, if the dude if the video would've said "when it is live". But "when it goes live" defines the very moment when the beta GOES live.
Sorry, but people who are upset are right to be so - wouldnt doubt if Blizzard announces a large drop out of people from the AP in the Q1 reports.
Actually it does mean you will be able to see the movie once its released.
Anyway I don't care about this but I hate to see bs...''when it goes live'' means what it means,when it friggin goes live you have acces.
I don't see the need to bs people or take them for idiots.
The way this whole thing has gone down reminds me of the opening sequence in "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"
"Mr. Dent, you had ample time to prevent the destruction of your home, the plans to run a bypass through where your house resides have been on display for public viewing for 9 months now."
"You haven't gone much out of your way to call much attention to them, have you. Like TELLING anybody or anything?"
"But the plans WERE on display!"
"On Display!? I had to go down to the Cellar..."
"That's the display department."
"...with a Torch..."
"The lights probably gone"
"...so had the stairs..."
"but you did see the notice, didn't you?"
"Oh yes... it was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet, stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign outside the door saying "Beware of the Leopard.""

They said we'd get access WHEN IT GOES LIVE. That is an instantaneous moment in time. They did not say we would have guaranteed access "while" it was live, but rather GET IT WHEN it was live. Call it semantics all you want, but this terminology has legal ramifications in other industries. Blizzard dropped the ball.
well which ever way you interpretate what was said in the video, you still signed and agreed to a contract that said they can change if they want to. which in reality is the bottom line
Seeing as you didn't pay a dime for the beta I don't see how and why you would be refunded.
Sure to a pointed due to poor wording on their end there was a breach of contract, but the money paid was for the game, the contract you agreed to was game and access to the current title. All you can do is opt out of you binding agreement and not be stick paying for a year with any negative reprecussions.
I quoted the wrong person here, my post was a few up from this to the gay who said he should be refunded for the time he paid. Sorry for the mistake.
First off, it's not a "Free ticket". You paid for it via the Annual Pass. What's the point of getting the annual pass if it wasn't for the Beta/D3/Ballerina pony?
Secondly, Movie tickets have a time-stamp on them telling you which showing you are to see. It's plainly written on the ticket WHEN your showing starts. Annual Pass people have no such stamp or indication as to when their "turn" will be.
Using your theory, if I was handed a ticket I could look at it and say "Hey, this is for a month after the movie is released at 2am!? You told me it would be good for When the movie hits theaters!"
The way he says it, "You will also get guaranteed access into the next World of Warcraft expansion beta when IT goes live", if he hadn't given emphasis on the IT, then you could assume that you would get the access as soon as it went live, but he did use emphasis, giving it a whole new meaning. Like, "when IT (the beta) goes live", he was specifying the beta.
Funny for someone attempting to look at the language like that you'd think you would have realized that "when" is not a descriptor to access. You will recieve beta access beta goes live. Notice how you don't have a complete sentence without the word when. When in this case is a noun. Since it is a noun referring to a time frame it is not a descriptor of access. When is a noun clarifying that beta is not currently live. Its as simple as that. They were trying to clarify that beta wasn't currently live and that access wouldn't happen until it was.
