This makes no sense, since if I wanted my friend to play I most certainly do not want to give them my own Battle.net account information for them to play, giving them access to my own account as well. I don't want this Refer a Friend account merged to my own. Even if I just send out a new invitation and do it after making sure I log out, I still have this stupid account merged to my real account and I think it's a pain.
One thing I'd really like to know is why something *permanent* like merging an account to a Battle.net account can be done by accident without it saying what it was going to do, and without any notification or confirmation that it is in fact what I want to do. Accounts get stolen this way. I should at least have to verify the merge through accessing my email account that I did in fact perform that request. But that's beside the point.
Anyway, I don't want this merged, so I emailed Support in hopes of getting them unmerged. I waited a few days to get an email back, and when I finally did, it was obvious to me that no attempt to even read my email or even the SUBJECT of the email had been done. I got an email back telling me how I can make sure my Veteran/Recruit accounts are linked so I can get the rewards of being linked. I guess I can say that merge and link can be misunderstood, but I must have said at least twice in the email that it was related to the new WoW account being under the same Battle.net address as my main account.
I don't know how much more specific I can possibly be, and it's frustrating to have to send another email that may or may not actually be read thoroughly enough to get a basic point across.
I'm posting here instead in hopes of a faster reply on what I can do to unmerge the new WoW account from my Battle.net one. I've seen a few posts about this in the forums with the same problem with Refer a Friend automatically merging to a logged in account - maybe a change to the wording of the email it sends would help prevent this customer service problem in the future.
