I'm concerned about one matter, which I find very annoying. I'm a citizen of Poland - country where World of Warcraft is 100% allowed, uncensored, etc. Everything would be perfect, but as a Polish I can't use the Scroll of Resurrection and Recruid-a-Friend promos. What I find more annoying is that we live in 21st century, so such restriction is COMPLETELY unjustified - such promotions are NOT prohibited by Polish law, what's more - I am 100% sure that Blizzard don't have any sort of special permission to launch such action also in my country.
During over four years of my WoW playing experience I've "recruited" over 20 people and resurrected over 5 - most of those cases took place after mentioned promotions started. I may overreact, but such situation is technically similar to events from World War II (in Poland, Jews and Poles weren't able to travel by bus or go to some restaurants just because of their nationality) or US history, when Afro-american citizens also were unable to ride on front seats of buses, etc.
I'm perfectly aware of the fact that examples from world's history mentioned by me are far more important and rude than my problem, but in all those cases I find the same analogy - there is NO fair and straight explanation of such restrictions - IT IS technically possible, IT ISN'T problematic in any way in the matter of neither Polish nor American law, and YES, it hurts my feelings as a customer, player and citizen of an european country.
