I still don't understand how people can get this far into the email and still think it's actually from Blizzard.


I'm not sure how many of you can relate but usually when I am posting I come up with multiple ways of saying the same thing. I'll write one sentence and then change my mind and change the sentenceto something else. When that happens though I sometimes leave some of the previous sentence in place, this can cause the sentence to sound extremely odd.

Unless you are familiar with our methods, it is plausible to think that an e-mail with a grammatical irregularity is still official.

It never hurts to double check, though, Plytor, you should be very aware how to check links so please keep that in mind when you receive this type of message. :)
